If those in Mumbai hurry they'll just be able to catch a screening of The Best 
Exotic Marigold Hotel before it will, most probably, go at the end of this 
week. 

Its not a great film, but a very pleasant one - very superior timepass due to 
the gallery of wonderful Brit actors who have been assembled for it: Judi 
Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Celie Imrie, Penelope Wilton. 
Its based on a novel, Deborah Moggach's These Foolish Things, which is also 
very good timepass. 

The story is about a bunch of elderly Brits who find themselves in a hotel in 
India because they can't afford to stay or its too unpleasant to stay in the UK 
any long - they are essentially being outsourced to India which, we're told, is 
much more respectful of its elderly. 

Of course, it helps if the elderly are white and I wondered if the film would 
be annoying because of cliches about India and bad writing for the Indian 
characters. There is a touch of this, but not that much. You get exotic India, 
but also modern day India where a girl climbs into her boyfriend's room for sex 
(and leads to a neat little lesbian joke). 

Most of the Indian characters aren't badly written, but the dialogue for the 
lead desi character, Sunny, who runs the hotel, is really bizarre and a bit 
silly. But Sunny is played by Dev Patel who's cute and manages to make even the 
silliness sound plausible. The other Indian character who starts off well, but 
ends rather flat is, sadly, the wonderful Lilette Dubey. 

SPOILER ALERT - STOP NOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THE FILM AND DON'T WANT TO 
KNOW MORE

But the film is really about the elderly Brits and since they are played by 
these amazing elderly Brit actors they are all amazing. And the reason I'm 
writing about this on these mailing lists is that one of the best performances 
is put in by Tom Wilkinson who plays a retired High Court judge who's gay and 
had spent his childhood in India, and has now returned looking for the Indian 
boyfriend he was forcibly separated from when their love affair was discovered 
and had to leave behind in his youth. 

This is just one story among many in the film, but I think it stood out for 
being quite amazingly moving. You realise what a trauma the separation had been 
for Graham, the judge, and the guilt he had carried all his life for the 
problems he felt his Indian lover must have faced, because he was a servant for 
Graham's family and he and his family were immediately dismissed when the 
affair was discovered. 

So after a lifetime of concealing this - and a lifetime in which, in the UK, at 
least being openly gay became possible - Graham has come back to Jaipur to try 
and find his lover Manoj. And he does and finds that Manoj has, as might have 
been expected, been married off, yet they meet again and it is a wonderfully 
moving reunion, and also what happens after. 

To its credit, the film doesn't forget Manoj's wife and you get a sense of her 
story and how she knew about Graham and was able to accept it too. It helps 
that she is played by a truly truly amazing actress, Neena Kulkarni, who I 
think is well known on the Marathi stage, and who can convey incredible and 
subtle volumes in just her few scenes. (She was also truly wonderful as the 
lead character in one of the three films that makes up Sachin Kundalkar's film 
Gandh). 

Manoj is also played by a fine character actor, Rajendra Gupta and he does his 
role with warmth and dignity, and makes what could have a sad story quite 
beautiful and moving. This is really worth seeing the film for and, as I said, 
the rest of it is also very good time pass.

or a girl can ask why i am a boy or why i am a girl and science will tell all 
that when x chromosome meets y and all that, but finally was it not god who 
decided whether x will meet y or some else. so you are created by god finally 
and you should be at ease with it and respect his decision.

This not bragging or anything... 

Way back in 1996, while I was in Mira Road - I had quite a few parties there. 

Sahil Khan with another Nepali friend stayed overnight at my place. We were a 
foursome. The Nepali friend and myself made it out in the living room. Saahil 
was inside with my other friend. I do not know what happened between them. The 
next morning he tried to drive me bike (Bullet) and he got his leg burnt from 
the silencer. 

A couple of years later he became a very famous actor, I was away in the 
middleeast and when I met him again in 2000 at the Walls, he never was the same 
man 

Anyway - some things dont change...

g_b Shahrukh Khan

2005-03-24 Thread ashok reddi


Hello,

I m happily married with 2 kids.

Lately i hv had strange feelings towards Shahrukh Khan

It all beagn 5-6 yrs back, when i started liking him

Soon i grew fond of him

But since last 6-7 mnths i hv falllen desperately in
love with him (or i think so)

So much so that it has started affecting my day to day
life

I want to b with him, love him, worship him, serve him

I m educated decent n hv very good job

So its not that i m crazy

But i think i cannot live without him

i m not frm mumbai, so i one fine day i wanted to
leave everything and come to mumbai n take up a job
with him, even as his servant

Fortunately, better thoughts prevailed but i dont know
how long this will continue

Please advise. Shud i see a psychiatrist?

But then, ill hv to tell him that i m GAY

And he may think i m crazy. It may leak out.

is this common?

The counsellers pl help me. If i can cured without
seeing a Psychiatrist then its best

Pl Pl advise
