When it comes to my early morning routine I have managed to keep it unscathed for a long time. As a part of this routine is to have a sneak peak into ‘Timesofindia.com’. It doesn’t happen everyday but a combination of frustration, sympathy and a bit of every thing else. I call it the ‘kojak’ emotion (grand prizes for people who find out the meaning of this word. Lol:-).  Ok now lets get to the point , I see a blog in timesofindia where a gentle man who was so frustrated that Karan Johar(KJ) took a film on treatment of muslims(khan and our ex president getting frisked remember?) and not to mention it is also about love and all the naïve things which comes into mind when KJ and SRK comes together instead of the ‘exodus’ or ‘flushing’ of Kashmiri Pandits.

When Slumdog millionaire came, we asked “why a film which says good things about India did not come?” Now when MNIK is about to release One gentleman probably many are asking “why a film on Kashmiri pandits hasn’t come”? or “why KJ is not taking  a film on Kashmiri Pandit? Or more famously “why a KJ has to take a film on ‘Khan’?.

My answer Is if somebody feels that a film on any ‘topic’ has to be taken , kindly step into the entertainment arena and make a film at the least make a documentary instead of blowing horns on KJ asking why he is taking a film on khan. I, you or anyone cannot enforce on what basis a film should be made, its his personal decision and I find this criticism towards KJ a ‘blind’ criticism.

The film industry is a place where a lot of dreamers bring their imagination on the Silver screen for us to get entertained and I think we have to draw the line there. Its unfortunate that our country has a communal face in politics but lets stick together and make sure the ‘communal factor’ doesn’t enter the entertainment arena also, which I believe is where we all sit and laugh “together”.

Thanks & Regards

Yes, its the film makers choice to make movies which excites them but the final verdict lies with the people

Its a shame to copy or even dare to attempt touching Oscar winning movies like Forest Gump and I Am Sam and repeating the same old 9/11 plot. Nothing more can be expected from this romantic struck pathetic duo Khan & Johar. Promoting by flaunting abs in TV shows, the so called Khan needs to have a look at the mirror if he has lost his dignity for reaching out to public and yelling please watch my movies.
