Aamir disappointed 'Peepli Live' is out of Oscars - Page 10

simran, LSD is Love sex aur dhoka...its the dibakar banerjee film on social voyeurism...it was quite a path breaking, cult movie....

😆😆 how eager we all are to answer simran's question....!! 😳

yeh udaan was definately a better film for me...but like i said...peepli had tht underdog feel...u know...extreme poverty n stuff...kinda like wht slumdog millionare showed.....this is a really gross stereotype and i apologize if it offends anyone...but in general..ive noticed ppl in the west take a liking towards watching indian movies which showcase the starker underbelly of the country..and peepli fit the bill there acc to me......

and yes....Indian-ness is a word!!! 😆...in my dictionary!

Yeah Udaan definitely is much better but I don't think it's oscar worthy. We've seen such hundreds coming of age movies which doesnt make it anything special esp in an international arena.

Re: Slumdog Millionaire.....it is defo one of those overhyped movies. I seriously don't get the buzz behind it :| :|

told u it was a gross stereotype..😆.but it was just an observation i made...considering my non-indian friends...prefered watching Satya to devdas...😆....oh well...but yeh slumdog was a "feel good" film overall, but it did showcase a gritty portrait of mumbai slums and underworld..

Did u like Salaam Bombay?? I didnt like it much
As for preferring Satya to Devdas, I prefer the same 😆 I thought only Mads was the best thing about Devdas. Rest was a big headache. It always reminds me of Paro's wedding scene where SRK escorts her to the mandap. OMG!! what a torture to watch.

^^^oh yeh....

I like slumdog millionaire for the same reason the oscars liked it for - it's a celebration of the human spirit. it's not subtle and it doesn't claim to be, it's 'in-your-face' drama and the viewer is very much aware of the point the film was trying to make when he walks out of the theatre. but I still like it because boyle employed the same fundas that all the typical rags-to-riches bollywood films do, and yet gave us a much better product. it was entertaining and hard hitting.
