Re: [AI] Its 25th Jan today: Kaabil movie review: Hrithik Roshan is out for revenge
Hi, Kaabil portrayed blindness quite effectively, keeping in mind that the somewhat superhuman nature of Hritik's sense of smell and other slightly impractical tasks that Hritik is shown to accomplish is the masala element of Bollywood, which cannot be dismissed because this was a movie as opposed to an educational documentary. Yami's vulnerability was not associated to her disability in my perception. This is because the violators let their identities be known the second time they came, expressing their clear intention of visiting regularly, everything being linked with the power of corrupt corporate and political officials, nothing to do with helplessness of a visually impaired female. I am told however that Hritik's use of the cane was inconsistent, portraying the erroneous concept that blind individuals can travel even without a cane. The cane should have been used by both Hritik and Yami throughout. I also would have hoped that assistive technology should have been displayed, having been added as an extra modern element, despite it being based on a pre-AT era. Otherwise, I am glad that the movie has shown usage of the senses of hearing and smell, as opposed to propagation of the untrue myth of a sixth sense. I view the unnaturally powerful senses of smell that Hritik possessed an inevitable characteristic of any Bollywood movie's hero, in this case of a blind man. A white collar job would have been better, but given that the plot relied upon Hritik being a voice artist, and that another notable scene relied on the presence of a dance academy in which Yami was to be a pianist, I would overlook this criticism. Also, there was no excess of scenes drawing sympathy or pity for the viewers. Both were portrayed as confident beings. Thanks.

Re: [AI] Its 25th Jan today: Kaabil movie review: Hrithik Roshan is out for revenge
Hmmm. Don't know whether sound and smell do equip us to take revenge fighting the enemies, ritik way, or whether they could have not shown both fighting to avenge her rape. Maybe, the film could have given a more positive message then instead of girls killing themselves if raped, and a blind male using his non-visual prowess to avenge the deed. And the re-make argument is not valid for not showing assistive technology. The re-make is in 2016, and the film can be adapted to the times. -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of avinash shahi Sent: Friday, February 03, 2017 11:55 AM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.

Significance of sound and smell has been highlighted time and again, often unrealistically, in society as a sixth sense. It is also subjective and individual differences prevail. We have to rely exclusively on non-visual stimuli, but capacities do differ here also, and let them not assume that we all are super sharp in this.

if the same movie was done by Shaaruk, salman or amir then there would have been more appretiation & about the box office hit screen owners gave only 2200 screen for Kabil whereas for Raees they gave 2800 screens, I too saw the movie the movie is good critics describe whatever they think.

Re: [AI] Its 25th Jan today: Kaabil movie review: Hrithik Roshan is out for revenge
Avinash, There had been quite a few Hindi movies where they showed marriage or love life of blind people. I am not talking about Sparsh which was an extraordinary movie but mainstream movies like Anuraag or Barsat Ki Ek Raat. Kaabil is not the first one to show this. There was also a film called Dusmaan where Sanjay Dutt played role of a blind person who took revenge. And as far as blind women are concerned, they are anyway thought as vulnerable and therefore abuse happens more. In our country police refuse to take FIR for most of the rape cases, disabled or not. I am talking from experience of working for womens rights issues for last 30 yrs. There are hundreds of instances of same. I really do not know in what way Kaabil is showing something new. I would be happy to learn more from others in this list.

Re: [AI] Its 25th Jan today: Kaabil movie review: Hrithik Roshan is out for revenge
I feel that the movie ‘kaabil’ has not received a fair review which it deserves. The routine film-reviewers are perhaps not in tune to disability studies and its varying lenses to judging a movie. In a country such as ours where a blind couple is a myth to many who connect disability as akin to asexuality; ‘kaabil’ offers them a shock. Then you have myth about disabled people are not eligible marriage candidates; the movie rebuffs such misconception by reall portrayal of Rohan and Supriya as confident and independent couple who are working and are good at household chores. Then there is another myth that its impossible that a disabled woman could ever be raped. The movie challenges this false belief and makes it clear that disabled woman are at greater risk of being harassed not only by people but by those who are supposed to protect them from brutal rape incedents and harassment. The lacuna which exists in the legal system which favours powerful criminals disproportionately is a stark reminder of how police discriminates against the most vulnerable such as disabled woman when she goes to register an FIR in rape case. Then many of my friends have opined that the movie doesn’t talk of assistive technology which is the lifeline of blind people of late. I feel that we shouldn’t expect too much from a movie which is dubbed from American film ‘blind fury’. The acting of Hrithik and Yami is superb. the sense of smell and hearing have been shown as excellent solutions to challenges which lack of eyesight mandates. Many other friends maintain that the movie lacks gender sensitivity where Rohan imposes his will on Su. I guess this is not unique to ‘kaabil’. Be it Shah Rukh, Salman or Aamir or any other famous Bollywood actor the films revolve around them and the opposite female actress conform to the norm. The Bollywood is changing though. The movie ‘kaabil’ is a break from the past which provokes thought-process in the conservative Indian society and gives a sense of pride to blind people who yearn to be treated with dignity in the publick life. Leave aside the box-office performance which is fairly good, I am sure the ‘kaabil’ will mark its imprint in the psychy of Indian viewers. Hrithik and Yamy deserve bada vala kudos.

It would have been little more better, if the girls are shown stronger more, the couple is more socialised and one of them is atleast holding white collared job.

Re: [AI] Its 25th Jan today: Kaabil movie review: Hrithik Roshan is out for revenge
Can’t we think above jaws and talks? Come on friends it wasn’t documentary. It was commerssial film. So watch with minimum expaectation. Personally I liked everything about movie. In my view they have tried to make the movie as much realistic as possible keeping in mind that it wasn’t art film. And rajesh sir the movie is far better as well as realistic than aankhe.

Re: [AI] Its 25th Jan today: Kaabil movie review: Hrithik Roshan is out for revenge
After watching the movie, I would like to share my thoughts as below. Pros: 1. It depicts that a blind person can be financially self-reliant, live an independent life doing domestic chores like cooking etc. and has regular emotions associated with human beings like love, anger, frustration sarcasm, humour etc. 2. It shows that blind couples could make a good match although I did not like the statement "two negatives cannot make a positive" by the actress. 3. It shows that blind individuals have talents like dancing, playing instruments and dubbing/mimicry. 4. It shows them leading a normal lifestyle - looking good, having fun, celebrating birthdays, going to Malls and Amusement Parks. Cons: 1. Nowhere in the movie, the use of accessible technologies like talking mobile phones or screen reader software in computers are shown except the use of "talking wrist watch". 2. Without sounding prejudiced, it re-inforces the stereotype that blind individuals do not fit well in white-collared jobs and can earn a living by being a voice artist/singers or playing musical instruments etc. The NGO work-profile of the actress could have been highlighted. 3. to make it more realistic, the blind hero could have been shown to have passion for body-building or undergoing physical training sessions before taking upon the revenge. 4.The blind couple could have shown a bigger family/friends support system. They were shown to be little socially isolated with very limited friends both disabled or otherwise and often left on their own even in their grave situations. 5. The title of the movie is used to ultimately prove that a blind hero is "kabil" or capable only to take a revenge on his own without anyone's help. 6. The blind females are vulnerable is the message going back in the society. In my opinion,the self-defense by girls and quick decision making to save one's own life and other such tips should have been shown. 7. It was not very clear why the female had to leave the job after the marriage and become a home-maker. Overall, it lost a golden chance to be more powerful disability-related movie.

Re: [AI] Its 25th Jan today: Kaabil movie review: Hrithik Roshan is out for revenge
even the dialogues sounded very cliched, from the trailer. i wish they'd consult a few members when they decide to represent a particular group. my observation is that they only try to get the physical aspects right. such as the eye-movements and expressions, walking with the cane, etc. but never attempt to get into the mind and replicate that. it is only the body of the disabled that fascinates the non-disabled. never the mind. i think that is the root cause of a lot of issues between the 2 worlds. right from personal relationships and social attitudes, which extend to artistic representations.
