I found Paa highly pretensions. It was an ordinary film with ordinary performances esp by Big B. And it got all the awards. Everyone hailed that movie like no tomorrow. I find any movie which speaks about very remote things like this movie spoke about some rare disease which hardly anyone gets. I feel such movies are designed for getting awards. The aim of a movie should be to communicate something to the audience and not to make films as a ego boosting measure.

I Agreee!

I don't find ZMND pretentious at all, but Rockstar was a big champagne-smelling headache lol

Rockstar to me just had no rhyme and reason. And I think Imtiaz may have been a little drunk whilst making it.. the entire premise of the movie is a guy wanting to be a musician, getting the advice of getting heartbroken and he'll make it big...

and it happens...

wut.

Hum Aapke Hai Kaun...I find it really pretentious...all the big houses, happy family and one song after the other...and basically no concrete story at all...The movie was like one musical show where everything and everyone is happy happyšŸ˜†

@Hajmola : Well I like Paa but I agree with the award centric thing...I thought Ship of Theseus was one such film...I don't know many loved it, almost everybody who has watched it praises it but I simply don't get the hype around it. I found to be really pretentious. šŸ˜•

@LaFunGa : Lol, one of my closest friends loves Ready, she made me watch that movie along with her forcefully. So, I do think, there are a fair number of people who love ready. Probably Jai ho is one film which nobody likes. šŸ˜†

@Chip : Rock star went over my head. I couldn't even make sense of the sequence of scenes. šŸ˜• The scene where Nargis faints at her home before Jordan is sent to jail, I thought she was dead and that's the reason behind Jordan's angst. šŸ˜• šŸ˜†


Ship of Theseus too...even while reading the synopsis I didnt get what the film was about. šŸ˜•

Oh yes, couldn't make the head or tail of it. I liked Kalki-Emraan bond in that movie but it ends there. Othwrwise, I simply couldn't grasp the story line. šŸ˜†

I personally think that the movies I can't connect to or can't enjoy, become pretentious for me, even if they are well-made movies . I know it's not a very accurate way to label, but still..these are the elements that make a movie pretentious to me. šŸ˜†

@NC, but I think the replies till now are quite genuine...šŸ˜†
