Which is the last Bollywood film you saw ?

All this rave from the same reviewer who gets all "but what about the impact on society?" when discussing Selvaraghavan's love stories*. Look how agreeable, and refreshing even, it all becomes if the class conflict is avoided!

* Except mayakkam enna, of course. And doesn't this also point to the same? This is one film where Selvaraghavan avoids class conflict and the question of social status as such (not that it's wrong).

Equa & Sildish had a mini twitter ruckus IIRC..

He he, actually, not quite. Complicateur retweeted my tweet, which raised its visibility and Sudhish was understandably offended. There was some minor heated exchange, after which we closed it on polite terms as there was no point debating at all.

Woody Allen kambaerisan ellam too much.
Still, PKP is very enjoyable and is much better comedy than Delhi Belly, devoid of Fart or Poop jokes all along.
Frankly, I have not seen a better interpretation/ portrayal of Modern relationships in Indhiya.

Which is surprising, considering the person in question.

Let me add that I wouldn't particularly rebuke those who like this film at a superficial level. It's like enjoying a string of jokes well aware of how stereotypical it is and so on. Quite like what Bala (Karthik) once said of Visu's family melodramas. That's not a problem, but to invoke Woody Allen, modern relationships et al. is to say too much.

It's hard to make impolite conversation when addressing someone directly, no? Otherwise I still find his writings on film an affront to my sensibilities.

For instance, his recent couple of tweets about the name of Vikram's character (Anal Murugan) in Rajapattai, which I stumbled upon, is idiotic and clueless.

To invoke Allen at a superficial level as he has done, didn't seem all problematic to me.

I have this demeaning sensation that he'd actually view WA films in little more elementary manner, suited to his sensibilities. To strip a Critic of his own background, troubles me to no end.
