Well there is going to be a lot of criticism from the industry ( lets consider
it is 'sour grapes') for such people and not waste our energy on these things.
ARR is up there and I feel there is no looking back for him. Lets generate
positive vibes while all the time concentrating on praying sincerely for ARR's
Prosperity in terms of name, fame, health and happiness.
Jai Ho!
Mahiya

Subject: [arr] Now Mahesh Bhatt has a problem with Slumdog

Thought, till the oscars come, lets discuss over this..
On Rahman's music Mahesh Bhatt says..
‘Slumdog Millionaire’ is not the best work of even A.R Rehman. “If you see his
work in the past, he has produced such a quality product that it shouldn’t even
take a minute to award this legend. His music in ‘Taal’, ‘Rang De Basanti’ or
even ‘Lagaan’, which was nominated for the Oscars, stood nowhere in eyes of the
Oscars’ Jury. However, when his music has a white connection, it comes to the
priority list of the awards. Why? So is it that we Indians are incapable of
making it to Oscars? Or it is just that we would be used for other’s benefit
and just left unrecognized,” questions Mahesh Bhatt.
Sir..Ok, we got no problem on this..But what really my tiny mind doesnt
understands is what you mean when you say these lines..
"In my opinion, if any Indian related to this film gets the Oscar, it should
not be kept in India, because we want to actually win the Oscar and not be
given as an offering."
???????????
I am not able to understand why these people have a problem with Slumdog,
because it's called as India's most successfull film ever? or because they
think that they had made better movies than these?
Aren't technicians from other coutries used in the Indian movies? How much do
we recognize them here? Some say that Slumdog shows india in poor light by
depicting its ugly side..but when many filmmakers can use Sex or fantasize
them to sell there movies, Why can't danny make a good entertaining movie full
of optimism by showing slums in his movie..after all, we can't say ignore that
fact..
For example, Nobody shouted about Madhur bhandarkar's Traffic signal...When you
didnt have problem with it, then why with slumdog..just because it has british
director and has been appreciated the world over?
Mahesh bhatt says "So it is just like making hay while the sun shines for Danny
Boyle, who is using the Indian effect for grabbing an Oscar"
When danny and crew set out to make the movie, they didn't think of oscar, The
movie was supposed to come on DVD's straight away..We need to be
extremley thankfull to danny for involving Indian technicians in this movie
especially in form of Rahman, Tandon and also many others..He wanted to make a
good movie and he has succeded in it..Lets congratulate him instead of pointing
fingers at him..
These were just my thoughts...Would also like to all your views too,
Cheers,
Pavan
