Black Friday's docu feel might be because of strict adherence to the investigative process involved and lack of filmsy elements at any level, especially in character development.Quote:

On Hirani vs Chetan Bhagat
I dont admire Sudesa kaamugan(tip:Feeyaar) much but he has taken the pains(presumably) of re-reading FPS, and a detailed analysis on FPS vs 3I.
I agree with him when he says these:
Quote:
The ‘Work for Hire’ is a generic clause that negates all contribution from the writer and transfers ownership of the idea to the producer and the work is treated as commissioned. Bhagat unwittingly signed a contract with this deadly clause that now leaves him helpless.
Thats snazzily put. Bravo, mOnE Sudesaa!Quote:
There’s what you can do legally and what you have to do morally. Especially, when you teach us moral science lessons film after film.
And this:Quote:
Hirani has fallen in my eyes. If this can happen to one of the most popular writers in the country, then imagine the plight of the lesser known.
Well said!Quote:
Hirani and Co ought to learn from Vishal Bhardwaj who credited a rather unknown Cajetan Boy for just the idea of Kaminey right at the beginning of the film and even named a character after the screenwriter he met at a seminar.
I remember Udhiri PookkaL having credit to Pudhumaipithan much before anything else in the titles just after the acting cast. Now, I havent read it but I have read that "sitrannai" is just one small strand of udhiripookkaL.Quote:
I find it hard to believe that a guy like Aamir Khan who spends hours researching his look for every film and goes to insane levels chasing perfection hadn’t read Five Point Someone before he agreed to do the film, much before the script was ready.
Introspection point for Hirani, Chopra and Khan:
"avan manusan. nI manusanA?"
all these controversies were part of contract to hype up the sales of that book........in press meets, Hirani was repeatedly saying "if you have doubts, read the book and come back" :lol2: .......its a publicity for the film as well, the way VVChopra slammed journalists reg this and how there was coverage for this item in news channels for 2 days - it all sounded so phony and unbelievable........
how many of us, who liked 3Idiots, are going to read the book and spit on Hirani's lie?? this "controversy drama" is worth a risk for hirani-bhagat......sudish kamat has done his part by playing into the hands of their "deal to create controversy" :lol: ...thanks Plum, for keeping interest on this film alive here :thumbsup:
Arnab Goswami once came on tv about some issue screaming as usual. He said "why is this issue being publicized ??"

PR, have u watched SDM??
Maddy, the issue is not about 3I or Hirani . It is about credit to writer. The pertinent point is how do you credit the writer? To suggest that Khan and co engineered this controversy in collusion with Bhagat is laughable.
1) If that is true, it shows they didn't have confidence in their film, then? Well, well, well.
2) This does nothing much for the movie or the book. Just like Vikas Swarup's Q&A got republished with "now an oscar winning movie", that got the necessary publicity. If you are saying Aaamir Khan and co engineered this controversy, you are really saying he indulged in a cheap trick. I think you'd not want to say that - no?
Anyway, Hirani and VVC have previous in this and for once, Sudesan has done his research and put forth his allegations logically.
Funny thing is Khan fans have a lose-lose. Support him, and you are really supporting the lack of credit to writer; try to wash it as publcity stunt, then your hero comes across as a cheap trick chupramani.
Chetan Bhagat may not be a great writer, and FPS may not be a great book but what Hirani etc did here was reprehensible and shows their attitude towards writers. Point is if a popular author can meet this fate, what about lesser known ones?
Few years back, a composer sued the Roshans and kiruthigai compromised his case by presenting in the court that "Rakeshji is heart patient so he should not be punished/penalised". In effect he admitted guilt but was just pleading for reduction in punishment on compassionate grounds The composer whose work they had stolen got compensation. That was a good beginning to expose plagiarism in Bollywood but unfortunately, that is a 1 in a million case.
The quality of bollywood films should not blind us to their personal faults.
We wish Thalaivar himself does better in these aspects! :(
