I never knew you needed Rs.60 crore to tell a story of two married couples going through the marital estrangement. Also, little I knew that it has to be set in the Big Apple. May be Mr. Johar (read a schmuck who can boast to find depth even in a sari by observing the zardosi work, sequins and stones) thought the emotions can’t be envisaged in a filthy Dharavi or rustic Patna. Just think, how would he be able to bring out the designs, the fabric, and the human feel at such places (and how would Preity Zinta be able wear the costliest costume).
And I don’t think I would qualify for having an opinion about Mr. Bhansali (read a deluded man obsessed with his supposed muses) unless I burn a movie set worth a crore every month. The pinch in the pocket is felt only when a talent ridden small time director asks for financing his film. Why? “ The plot doesn’t have a scope…. It…it’s CLAUSTROPHOBIC.”
Yeah so true. Compared to Star Wars, Lord Of Rings trilogy (with all due required respect) a 21 grams or Sideways wont have a scope to make millions or win 11 Oscars (oh Oscars…. one more class example of how important it is to burn millions just to win a politically-socially-racially correct trophy).
So which is the next movie that has amazing locales, exquisite costumes and a budget of $185,000,000. I am so desperate to know.
