Another insider opines on nepotism & entitlement, and it’s a doozy - Page 15

Personally the problem I have with the young nepo brigade off late is, they seem/look so effing dumb, without any knowledge or respect for good cinema or their craft itself . No ideas or passion to innovate in any way. Even if earlier batches were similar, we didn't get to know due to little social media but now the shallowness is glaring. Kuch toh personality ho, kuch toh grace ho, kuch toh stories ho jo audience ko sunne ka mann kare.

this is the point, where is somebody with a knowledge of cinema or passion for it.

i am sure all these star kids were planning and plotting to become stars since they were born, can you learn a bit of classical arts , dance, music something

in olden days actresses used to learn dance as a stepping stone to acting

i was shocked to hear in that netflix series, shanaya's brother saying he can't speak hindi, he live in mumbai for godssake and i am sure this guy will turn up in hindi films

isn't that really taking the audience for granted

Reading your post about south actors and how they involve outsiders as well, the only Bollywood actor who would put the focus on others is Aamir Khan. Tara Zameen Par poster had Darsheel in the forefront and Aamir in the background. Aamir doesn’t even appear till almost the second half of the movie. Dangal focused on the girls and they were prominent in all the posters. I’ve also seen posters and/or stills that has the younger girls upfront and he’s again in the back. And a few posts back we already discussed how Aamir Khan is probably the only one who cares about quality of films above anything else. But yea off the top of my head right now I can’t think of any other Bollywood actor/star who would do this.

i agree, even lagaan everybody was given prominence based on their roles,

he is a true lover of cinema and really changed hindi cinema

as i was saying he turns up at this gollapudi srinivas award which is really low profile.

those interested listen to the award videos on youtube, they have some nice talks by rajamouli, konkona, shyam benegal, resul pookutty etc, key note speeches etc

when somebody does stuff for the love of cinema without worrying about whether it will get them publicity you truly know they are passionate

true, there are a few sensible ones maybe but I can't think anybody of this generation being passionate about cinema

boney and anil are from the previous generation
