Karan loves ADHM. Says it's the closest to his heart.

I feel what bugs KJO is that he doesn't have a universally loved movie. Despite KKHH being an ATBB and K3G having massive footfalls, none of those movies are cherished like the ATBBs of the last 30 years like MPK, HAHK, DDLJ, 3I, BB, and the Bahubali films. These movies may not be the greatest films ever made, but are amongst the most loved films in Indian cinema history. KJo is neither here, nor there. He isn't cherished like Bhansali, Sooraj B, Raju Hirani, Aditya Chopra, nor do people appreciate him like they appreciate Anurag, Dibakar, Basu, etc. He has a sort of identity crisis, which is why he keeps dropping these foot-in-your-mouth remarks.

This. Definitely he has identity crisis.

But what I feel why people don't take him or his work seriously is , he is everywhere. Doing TV, Commercials, Hosting, Judging Reality shows and doing films. He is literally everywhere. And when audience see a director doing everything except making a good film they tend to make fun of him and it's difficult take them seriously for their craft.

You guys dont see what he's doing?

He is purposely criticizing his own work because by doing so he is indirectly justifying that he is made to make films like Takht - this this i nothing but a ploy to get people to think that he's beyond KKHH and K3G.

Not with these statements

He has made kank, adhm, soty...

How can his most iconic film be a slap on his face?

Armchair psychoanalysis: KJo's problem is basically that all he knows are Bollywood people. He creates worlds full of the South Mumbai types born with more money than sense. He tries to imagine what middle class/working class India is like and tries to fit his version of regular people into his Bollywoodish universe. Voila! You have Siddharth Malhotra from SOTY. I would venture Alia's character in that movie was the closest to a real person in spite of her being rich and ditzy. Sid and Varun were caricatures of what KJo imagined such men to be.

Takht will also end up being the same.

More psychoanalysis: if KJo wants to make quality films, he needs to do what Zoya is doing. She is also a child of Bollywood. But unlike KJo, she doesn't proudly proclaim herself not to have read a single book in the last so many years. She surrounds herself with creative types who ARE in touch with that outside world. Hence, after a ZNMD and a DDD, she can create a GB.

If I were KJo's adviser, I would tell him to pick up a couple of books and read. Not the crap that passes for bestsellers. Something along the literary line. Who knows, he might even get ideas. I would advise him to go to NSD and immerse himself in that group and perhaps find one or two peeps he can work with.

But he won't. He likes to see himself as the diva. Unfortunately, he can't have his cake and eat it, too. He's going to figure it out with Takht.

why is he whinning and complaining after both kkhh and k3g mints money for him and after he bank in the money...dumb a$$ hole

Says the man who made Adhm, soty, soty2😆

K3G has repeat value like HAHK, HSSH etc,where as I walked out of your shitty ADHM

I love the songs, by far best album and everyone looked good in the movie

kalank kjo take pills n get lost lol
