Asuph – As on most occasions I don’t agree with you.

I feel Santoshi should have gone ahead with the release to prove the point that “good cinema” thrives no matter what (hypothetically speaking that Halla Bol is worthwhile content wise). But by backing out he only sends the signal that he doesn’t believe enough in his own work.

On the other hand Aamir took the risk of releasing his debut film against a big-budget multi-starer. Bhansali did it with new-comers against SRK’s film.

But at the end of the day and like in most industries “profit” is what matters. And so Santoshi being a business man first decided to pull-off his film from the race.

Well I’m kind of glad Santoshi backed off. Indian movie market is ruled by trade analysts in the garb of movie reviewers, idiotic reviewers who understand nothing about movie making, media controversies, and self styled film-gurus who want to create X vs Y comparisons even before films are released. It’s good to stay out of that trap, and give the movie a chance. After all, there is more to life than “dhamakas”

cheers,
asuph.

Well, I did see TZP today coz Welcome was definitely not worth the Rs. 500 I spent on Red Lounge Seats. TZP has touched a emotive issue. It is touching at times, Aamir does generate the right emotions in the viewers. A nice job. The kid is good, not exceptional considering the kind of work kid actors in Hollywood movies have fared. But would give some brownie points for his attempt. He is a kid afterall. All in all, not a typical entertainer, but definitely worth a watch for the socially sensitive intellectual. No over the top performances, a realistic view at life.

I saw TZP today and its anything but a light hearted movie. That apart it was especially astonishing to see a packed house for the film here in Lucknow. What took the cake however was the resounding applause at the end of the film..and they say the audience only wants swiss locales, naach gaana and pretty dames! Nice flick..as for welcome..nah not for me..seen too many forced (non) funny ones lately..
