PLease I am still waiting...who claimed that the Indian audience are idiots?? Who blamed the Indian audience for the JHMS debacle??
In recent times the only one who insulted the audience by calling them Launda lafadis was Salman Khan when he said that TL was not for Launda Lafadis but families??

SRK said that Indian audience would take some time to understand the magic of JHMS...I don't think that that was any kind of insult...he is hoping against hope that maybe the audience will give it a chance...

On this forum...members have praised the overseas BO number of JHMS...so does that equal to dissing the Indian audience...if yes then how??

I have yet to see any member blaming the audience for not watching JHMS...some are wondering how and why JHMS hasn't been liked by people? just wondering...does that equate us calling the audience idiots...if yes ...then let me howl about how people have made fun of SRK fans for liking FAN...should then I accuse all of u of calling that section of the audience that liked FAN as idiots...u would say NO...then why is the reverse not true?

What is this thing of blaming the audience...who is blaming the audience and calling them names...I am waiting with bated breath to be enlightened...please.

I don't care about which "fan" does it. I am technically a SRK fan. But here,

Its not abt the audience's intelligence but abt perception and judgement.
Overseas audience is more accepting of such romances, while conservative Indian audience was put off by the references to sexuality of the leads.
Indian audience prefers family friendly films which whole family can watch together without getting uncomfortable or embarassed



This above is not assumption of Indian taste? This is not offensive? Why are you assuming the taste of Indian viewers? "Overseas audience is more accepting of such romances, while conservative Indian audience"...? This is not funny. I don't care how and why it was said. Also, Blue Ice, it's not aimed at SRK fans ONLY, I cannot make myself clearer about this. It's aimed at every fandom. I am only making a thread on it now.

This is not only aimed at SRK fans. But every fandom who question Indians obviously or subtly after every movie and make bold assumptions on their taste. This thread is purely coincidental. Certainly not aimed at you all in particular.

^^ Did you see the JHMS BO thread? Lot of Indian audience vs NRI audience taste battles going on.

I didn't check BO thread, even if some of them saying, its just 1-2 person view why generalize everyone.

The same people who cry litres and litres of tears and accuse people of calling Salman fans as autowalas and rickshaw walas kept mum when Salman ACTUALLY insulted his audience and called them launda lafadis?? Where was the outrage then? No outrage for the Indian audience then...there is no shame in being a ricksawalla or auto walla...they are hard working people...but its actually shameful to be called a launda lafadi...and the same people who kept mum then are outraging when someone just compared the taste of different groups of people...yes the tastes of people differ...that is why BW itself classifies the audience as CLASSES and MASSES...that doesn't make any one superior...its just a differentiation of taste...why is it so difficult or so offensive if someone gave their opinion on different taste of people?

Nobody. People have become completely intolerant to other opinions.

It was completely fine when a mass of people were dissing the movie and mocking and enjoying but the minute someone says something like "hey you know what, I think it's good, but I can understand why it failed" a huge war is started and assumptions are being made that they were being called stupid for hating it.

Of course people who liked a movie are going to wonder about why it failed. They won't blame the movie itself because they *liked* it. Why is that so hard to understand? So then it's a mental exercise to understand what went wrong. For some people, it is the sexual content, for some it's slowness, for some it's something else. Everyone is allowed to have their own view on it.

The demands to think a certain way and using victimization techniques to shut down discussion is not cute.

Where did I say everyone does it? I have mentioned "a portion" everywhere. Point me to it. I have been pretty annoyed during JJ also. My complaints were met with "I overreact" then and how I shouldn't take this seriously. I am sorry if I take my country and countrymen more seriously than anything else.

insulted?more like laundey lafade was used here to insult his fans.the things he says are twisted here as per convenience just like things said by SRK are twisted..he clearly said it's not a movie to be enjoyed with a group of friends but family audience..just like some stars use words like making love while others simply say sex..

Where does it still blame Indian audience is what I'm scratching my head about.. maybe I'm stupid.. cz pointing out having cultural differences equating to as one party being idiotic and one party intellectual doesn't strike me..
