Hope to see and know what we already don’t get in overdose on those flimsy news channels selling sadism.

Harsh but true, Madhur has gone sadist too. Hard, depressing and all-is-lost kind of message won’t do the society any better.

Hopefully, he goes beyond only selling problems and starts selling solutions some day.

I remember you had made a similar comment on some other post some days ago.
Enjoy if that is your fun

You are entitled to your opinion. It is democracy.

In my area of interest I will praise what I find as good.

If recognising and praising Ranbir’s good performance works as an advertisement for him then there is no harm. You may understand and see things in any manner. That is your area of concern.
People had reservations with the write up on Abhay Deol, as it was written on the basis of SNT and Ahsita Ahista only. Talent is not dependent on any kind of advertisement. Abhay has reached to a stage because of his talent and choices and Ranbir too has reached at a comfortable stage because of his talent.
If you don’t recognise things when they are happening then it is your problem.

A decent review Khalid, not letting (launching) any salvo without a reasoning this time, for a change

In sync with what you say, what I’d like to add is that Madhur has gone quite stereotyped to the extent that a big class of cinegoers – me included – concludes by himself/herself about the movie, just going by the title and a glance through promos. Madhur, listening?

The director who established his hallmark identity by “exposing” formula of different facets of our lives, is somehow caught in his own web of formulas. The basic problem with his “realistic” movies is the way he conceptualizes the story — a la a reporter of a news channel under pressure to “break a story” for the next episode of so-called crime shows, even though nothing pathbreaking has happened.

The entire outlook and treatment often tend to be so ludicrous due to overdose of extreme pessimism with stuffed and out-of-place humour. This is not something about a Jail, or a Traffic Signal, Page 3, COrporate or Fashion. But, about his entire genre. The plot is always conceptualized, designed and developed by painting things in black and white. Man, grow up. Nothing in this world comes in either only black or white. Try looking around for shades of gray. Your plots will become more wholistic. More inclusive. More realistic.

Selling pessimism for a very long time like those sundry Hindi News channels who always can be seen predicting the end of the universe on a particular date & time for umpteenth time cannot help. World would believe once, twice, thrice but, not always.

Sell anything. But please do not try to hardsell anything more than twice in Bollywood anymore. That simply doesn’t work.

Every profession, everything in life has a good side to it too. Had it not been so, forget other things, Bollywood would also have just been a fiasco called casting couch. But, it is not. It is into serious business of making films. Good. Bad. And, indifferent films that don’t matter. Your films have mattered. But, please don’t be so cliched, so negative in outlook and, so dipped in your own formula that your films start stopping to matter. The Indian Junta has huge and high hopes from you

Mr. Bhandarkar, listening?
