I have been drowning in the hype on Twitter and Facebook! Plus I have been utterly unable to understand the many promos in Hindi. I did have a concern about Abhishek's character pretending to be gay, because, as you said, this kind of thing often turns into an ugly caricature (in American movies as well). I'm glad you addressed this, and it's good to hear that Abhishek performed well in all ways. Although there are many acting families in India, I can't think of anyone with larger shoes to fill than Abhi. Looks like maybe he's getting there. I hope to see the movie within the month, and I'll let you know what I think.<br /><br />All my best, JennJenn Levyhttp://www.northofconey.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555887833232019435.post-31103570065331310882012-07-07T20:48:35.880+05:302012-07-07T20:48:35.880+05:30Hello ma'm,its me again :) Its quite disappoin...Hello ma'm,its me again :) Its quite disappointing that Rohit Shetty and his team have brought down Hrishikesh Mukherjee's slice-of-life, ever-so entertaining comic gem to a level of slapstick and mindless comedy. And I completely agree with you stating in your review about AB jr's stereotypical portrayal of a gay person. I think the biggest problem of Bollywood since it's advent has been the pre-conceived stereotypes it seems to have about the society in general. Is it really that necessary for a gay person to have a feminine way of walking and talking? I don't think even the women that an average person sees in the day-to-day life do the kind of 'nakhra' that a gay character is shown to do in bolly films. As far as topics like homosexuality,physical disabilities,sex,rape,etc are concerned,I think most Bollywood film-makers are still in an infant stage to handle them. Very few project them with dignity and to the best of their honesty. In a country where film stars are virtually worshiped,its really not acceptable on the film-maker's part to show anything in the name of so-called entertainment.Finally,as the main backbone of this comment of mine is the insensitive & stereotypical portrayal of Homosexuality in most Bolly films, I want to say that the portrayal of a homosexual by the legendary Tom Hanks in the film 'Philadelphia' and Heath Ledger in 'Brokeback Mountain' are arguably the best in all of cinematic history according to me...Dipanjan Banerjeehttp://www.facebook.com/dipanjan.banerjee.1993noreply@blogger.com
