The press and producers are misleading the public to create excitement.<br /><br />According to the trades, KI is a very expensive movie (50-60 cr) and it has only made about 24 cr over the weekend. Then it started falling (62% drop) on Monday. So it may not make hit status after a good opening unless it sustains.<br /><br />I&#39;m praying it fails to discourage more of such movies and to give Akshay and Kareena a wake up call.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-48376811918165692422009-07-07T18:28:02.908-05:002009-07-07T18:28:02.908-05:00really Aspi - I used to think the guy was cute and somewhat smart, but turns out to be an A grade idiot. <br /><br />and to think his kids watched this &quot;family entertainer&quot; with their papa! ugh. <br /><br />they&#39;re only ready to burn down theaters for two women having sex in fire. not for this filth. <br /><br /><br />And thank god for Kaminey!

If there is no storyline in the movie you get chatter like:<br /><br />1) Amir&#39;s hair style or facial hair<br />2) Six pack abs.<br />3) Designer clothes<br />4) Hollywood stunt<br />5) Hollywood actors <br />6) What pranks they played on the sets. <br />7) Kareena trying to say how young she is by pointing out that she was 9 yrs old when she met the actor at a movie shooting for her sister.<br />8) Any movie with Amrita Arora in it.<br />9) Any movie where the actress can only define her role as an innocent girl or a modern girl with traditional values. <br /><br />Contrast that with the interviews you are seeing on Kaminey (Bharadwaj&#39;s next) and you will see what I mean.Jouleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06255094691224607732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-2538307493743625802009-07-07T15:42:42.008-05:002009-07-07T15:42:42.008-05:00Well said, Priya!<br /><br />Meanwhile, Akshay&#39;s all upset that people don&#39;t like his movie.<br />http://www.screenindia.com/news/Superstar-Akshay-Kumar-is-thrilled-amp-upset/486044/Aspihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060207061740733110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-62745538114973202862009-07-07T15:30:10.015-05:002009-07-07T15:30:10.015-05:00Aspi: my review<br /><br />I am writing that rare “bad movie” review. It is rare because I see so many bad movies and usually they don’t get me going. But oh boy, was this one bad. <br /><br />Kambakht Ishq was all kambakht with no ishq. All I could feel was the hate and nastiness. Hate for women and hate for other races. I would probably have been outraged had it come out in any other era, but the fact that it came post Chak de India and, to some extent, post Jab we met, really drove me up the wall. <br /><br />Suffices to say this – I have now decided to boycott my once favored Akshay Kumar. While I was willing to forgive his numerous silly sexist comedies (Garam Masala, Hey Baby come to mind), for some reason this just took me over the edge. I have finally had enough. <br /><br />The most offensive images included farting in women’s faces, running them down with carts, showing them as being really incompetent and dimwitted, and then needing a man to fulfil their dreams. But what took the cake was the sight of a black woman probing Akshay Kumar for drugs. That scene, an attempt at humor, was likely one of the most appalling scenes I have seen in a while. I have frequently railed against Bollywood’s penchant for fair skin, but showing “hot” white women and contrasting them with a “rakshasi” was really the worst display of racism I have seen in a while. It harkens back to the era of blackface in American movies, and is even more offensive since it comes from a country which has suffered discrimination all along the way and has no business projecting these heinous images. Where is the affection for the brown skin. <br /><br />I am so sorry I wasted my precious time on this movie. And even sorrier that it’s about to become a hit. It really commits the most serious of felonies in my book – projecting racism and sexism of the worst kind as “comedy.” <br /><br />No one’s laughing here.Priyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02749004020784536398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-34916593546890651542009-07-07T15:05:54.034-05:002009-07-07T15:05:54.034-05:00no worries transformers is a hit as well.<br /><br />In the desh however since there havent been any films for a while, ppl will flock to see anything.<br /><br />I&#39;s sure with rakhi ka swayamvar going on even a rerun of buddha mar gaya will open to packed houses!maxdavincihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15327759326889427489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-13252678100710005112009-07-07T12:50:55.412-05:002009-07-07T12:50:55.412-05:00I guess the champagne, must be flowing because that&#39;s what&#39;s keeping the crowds in the seats, else they would leave!<br />On a completely different note, Aspi did you change you profile pic here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-86834815042584845512009-07-07T12:07:21.944-05:002009-07-07T12:07:21.944-05:00I would like to let everyone know that the champagne has started flowing because KI has been declared a hit. <br /><br />Denise Richards and Stallone have managed to maintain their record of one hit in each decade since they started acting.
