Why Does Everyone Hate Dharma? - Page 2

I love almost all KJO directorials barring his last 2 outings SOTY & ADHM, guess everyone used to like KJO and Dharma at one point of time (atleast I did😆) till he ruined it for himself due to over-exposure, I believe the shift happened during SOTY only, when he started getting on everyone's nerves by appearing at every award show, reality show & party acting like a pro gossip monger, his obsession with mainly Alia doesn't helps his or Dharma's case either so while I believe quality of Dharma films is still pretty decent its Kjo's offscreen harakatein that gets on ppl's nerves, besides pseudo intellectual section on social media loves to put down any & every thing that is not off-beat, ugly or "underrated"😆

P.S. - I dislike Kjo but enjoy Dharma films😆

P.P.S. - I don't GAF about Sid & Alia (they were both horrible), but Varun was pretty good in that crapfest SOTY despite getting the short end of the stick he managed to stand out as per most critics, mainly yahi kehna tha😆

^ so whats the point of these auditions if mediocre people like sushant and karthik got selected? Or should i accept the fact thaf even after audition the best bollywood had to offer includes sushant and karthik then they r wasting money and time on auditions.

What kind of an audition did they have ? That is the difference.

Karthik Aryan auditioned from 6 months before landing a role. Sushant was dancing, did theater while looking for a break. Ekta's people auditioned him after seeing him in something. You think they would have let them just walk into an office and blind audition for them because he wanted to be an actor ?

Aloo and her mom walked into KJO's office. Varun was AD, Harsh was AD and before that ROMP saw him during Sonam's movie. Manish Malhotra recommended Jhanvi. Harsh was AD too, so were Ranbir and Sonam. They were already in the industry in some capacity probably interning before they were noticed. What kind of an audition do you think they would have had vs an outsider ?

KJO movies were crap and candy floss always from KKHH. But what was real was he had heart that you could see. Especially MNIK you could see his sincere effort though the movie was a thud. After that I think he changed IMO.

Nobody hates Dharma other than people whose favs don't get roles with Dharma. They make big happy films which pseudos pretend to hate nowadays because they've decided only gritty village-set movies or ones in slums and showing hardships in the name of realism are worthy. Realistic movies are not necessarily any better than fantastical ones. There is room for everything and movies are make-believe in the first place. They can transport you to other worlds and are not lesser for it.

The nepotism debate with never end and most of it doesn't even make sense. Nobody is entitled to anything. There is no reason why Karan Johar has to audition people for a year and pluck them out of nowhere and spend crores making movies for them. Nobody "deserves" anything.

The reason star kids get launched so quickly is that they offer up visibility and publicity right from the beginning. It's a business after all. Karan Johar doesn't do it out of either malice towards outsiders or out of the goodness of his heart for insiders. He does it because they sell. Dhadak wouldn't have gotten even half the interest it does now if it had two random outsiders in it. They would have to increase the publicity budget so much and it still wouldn't get great results. Star kids are already known and will provide at least a certain opening and reduce losses even in case of a flop.

Indians are obsessed with dynasty whether in movies or politics or anything else. They are curious to see these kids and whether or not they have their parents' talent. Look at the interest Taimur generates. Check out instagram and gossip sites like Pinkvilla - Suhana's posts get more likes than the top actresses do. Her pics are the most viewed of the day and top even the A list actresses. Of course producers and directors will capitalize on the interest the public already has in these kinds of people.

Outsiders already know how the industry works. Don't get into it if you can't handle it. Or go through television because no insiders are interested in it. Go through the beauty pageants. I'm sure everyone will be happy to launch Manushi Chillar despite not knowing if she has any talent. You have to make your own path if you want to succeed.

I don't know about alia, but varun did give lots of auditions. He gave audition for movies for ads heck even for tv serials. He went to these lot of acting schools and made some short films during that time ,after being ad of kjo. Then once he showed karan and ayaan his short film in which he did act really well after which karan decided to cast him.

And for outsiders auditioning not all of them do that. Ranveer and dp didn't do. And what kind of auditions did kat jackie and nargis gave that they got selected. Even ishaan did not gave audition for dhadak. That girl in munna Michael is also an outsider, these are the type of outsider we are getting through auditions
