I seriously dislike Maya from Kank and still have a dislike towards tht name 😆 on the other hand as much as i love srk , i cannot watch that movie again because of Dev.

Dev is one of SRK's most unlikable characters for sure (worse than his character in Baazigar although he was literally killing innocents). The way he treated his wife and son was just disgusting and uncalled for. Maya was also awful, felt sorry for Abishek's character

I still rewatched it a few times but overall its one of my least favourite SRK movies. I feel like Kjo wasted a great cast on a movie like that.

That's the kind of roles on which I like to see Deepika (urban; not centered on romance)

🤣

Why do people think showing something on-screen is always promoting it... people cheat, in real life, it happens! It's depicting reality! I think she said it in the trailer as well... don't you feel guilty.

because Kjo and Shakun themselves are justifying it😆.

Anyways trailer looks okay, not great not bad, but I dont know why an actor like Sid, looks so dull in this trailer. Also if we go by the standards, if Annie pie is the best thing in the trailer, than the movie might suck😆

Excessive English dialogues for sure. Plus I found it weird that she'd be meeting her cousin's fiancé on a boat trip. Wouldn't most Indian ppl attend their cousin's engagement ceremony?

But I wish they wouldn't lose the Indian essence. Otherwise why would I watch Bollywood over Hollywood?

Shakun Batra and Sid Anand belong to the new gen directors who are enamored with Hollywood. Many of their movies are set abroad.More so with Shakun as he went to film school in America. They'd rather work there but are settling for Bollywood. It is just that it's so obvious in Gehraiyaan with the clothes and the atmosphere. Draping someone in a sari doesn't make them Indian. There are some idiosyncrasies and behaviors that are uniquely Indian. We do not react always in the same way an American might react in the same situation. Society and family definitely has more say in the personal lives of Indians. Whether it be marriage or adoption or whatever. But in Shakun's movies the characters react as if they are in a Hollywood movie. I'm not saying that their movies aren't well-made. But they lack something that's uniquely Indian.

Was waiting for this movie for Sid, so will watch..... Trailer looks strictly okay to me, have already watched movies like Matchpoint, closer etc... Wonder what thriller this falls under since makers are talking about keeping audience at the edge😛

Even if it sucks why would her reputation be affected? HR had two huge flops and still made a comeback with War

Offtopic but wtf?? Refresh our memories or source, please?

Mohenjo daro and Kaabil obviously..two big flops. The former was even a disaster and Kaabil was below average which is basically a flop

100% agree. But personally it is something I don't find appealing. That's not to say Bollywood shouldn't be allowed to experiment. But I feel experimenting shouldn't be rehashing what has already been done or exists. As a brand it makes Bollywood lose its essence by trying to be something that is not organic.

well said!!! In fact I think most directors don’t know what is Indian anymore. They just build on their own sensibilities. Farnham Akhtar’s DCH, Zoya Akhtar’s DDD, ZNMD, Ayan Mukherjee’s YJHD are all built on their lives and friends, however they find ways to keep the language, the grammar of the film urban and yet relatable for many. They hire Hindi dialogue writers, who have finesse in the language.
this is very different from say a Vishal Bharadwaj who first chooses a storyline ((often inspired by Shakespere) and sets it in a place in India which he spends time researching, building characters. So while not all his movies work all the time, you know he is forever learning.

My irritation with this trailer is no doubt the overuse of English, but also the thematic set up which can’t be relatable to 97% of India. Meeting your cousin on a Yatch!!! That’s where the rich kids do drugs make worst life choices!! 🙄 Moreover, DP bs claims like there has never been a role like this in Indian cinema, dude you are cheating on your husband, believe me there have been enough stories and roles like this. Adultery was a theme in parallel Hindi cinema in the 80s - Ek Pal, Arth, Libaas, Astitva, Maya Memsaab, Masoom. All of them deal with adultery through a woman’s lens. But the problem is Shakun, DP a never watched fabulous Hindi cinema, they watched flaky YRF and Dharma movies and Hollywood.

I am glad that it’s going straight to OTT.
