i agree with u on some thots but.. “..beneath the veneer of civility, Saif was a hardcore and hence the underlining —- he had to teach Islamic studies..” – i dnt know wht u mean by ‘hardcore’..if it means hardcore in a Talibanised way then yes i object to Ehsaan teaching Islamic studies no matter wht point the makers r tryin to make..my problm is with the slotting of Islam on the basis of politics & that too reactionary politics..

“..it’s a sad story but it’s also true that a majority of non-Muslims in India have Muslims typecast in their mind in exactly the same way” – yes its true n its also true that many Muslims hv Hindu typecasts in their mind..there r Sikh typecasts..Christian & Parsi typecasts..Muslims alone r nt the victim of stereotyping there..but yes due to recent international scene Muslims r obviously under the scanner & end up being typecast more..for me films/cinema is a medium that has tremendous uniting power n thats coz its portrays common aspirations & common tragedies irrespective of wht one’s religion,language or caste is..so when filmmakers take up subjects that hv strong political/religious connotations to it they shud at least research well & be responsible in portrayals of identities..

“..Just like you look at the bearded guys and draw in your mind the conception of a Muslim, we too look at the Praveen Togadia-s and Balasaheb Thackeray-s and draw in our mind the conception of a Hindu” – i disagree here..we dnt make a perception of a Muslim by their beards or how they look/dress..& u too shudnt make perceptions abt a Hindu by looking at the gentlemen like whose names u hv mentioned..if so, we wud b doin great disservice to our communities & hence to the nation.

i dnt mind filmmakers cashing on the emotions but if there is smth i feel is irresponsible i must register my protest..

no offence taken dude..n yes u define “liberal” for me & I’ll honestly tell u if i fit ur definition or not

thanks

Such a simple story….but very effectively told. Reminds of an article in PFC about script being the hero of the movie. I love everything about this movie. I was rather skeptical initially since major part of the movie involves cooking. Having watched it…all I can say is…BON APETIT!

Personally, as a kid I got my hair done in the Shashi Kapoor way which remained with me for a long time :-) Not to take the light away from him, I always felt that Shammi Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor were far more talented than him and they didn’t get their due as well..especially Shammi. He was generations ahead of his times. The other day I was watching Teesri Manzil, he was so effort less, which is a trait that could be seen in Rishi Kapoor as well. Shashi Kapoor had it too, but his awkwardness showed when he was playing all those mundane characters which was diffcult for me to ignore. Throw a Shammi Kapoor or Rishi Kapoor in and they would completely make you believe in the characters they were playing, however mediocre they might be. At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, I see these traits in Ranbir as well. His acting seems so effortless, boy, I am excited or what :-)
