15 Years Of Fanaa - Page 3

I did not realize Raja Hindustani crap would open up such a dialogue, love the dialogue but probably the thread would close for being off topic.

Would somebody just discuss how did Kajal character not recognize this voice?? This was the one thing that destroyed the movie for me.

Marrying rich versus poor is my opinion and with my experience I would stick to it. I would love to cite examples of friends and families who have suffered trying to bridge the gap but this is not the forum or topic. So peace out 😊

To TM sorry for hijacking your thread and taking the convo completely off topic.

She thought he was dead in that terrorist attack. So, didn't even think in that sense maybe.

That is the part I find unbelievable, you never forget a loved one's voice, never. At least a smidge or a hint that this voice reminds me of him would have been understandable

We have people not recognizing the loved ones faces even just because there was a thin veil covering it (while the audience were able to, with two blind eyes😆), what’s a voice. Just like how they take off into full on dance numbers in the midst of nowhere.These are called cinematic liberties I suppose!

In India you end up marrying the whole family and while it may hold the same all over the world, in India they are really intrusive and absolutely every decision has to somehow be approved by the guy's parents (again, mostly) and it's hard enough to make compromises everyday but then to make them again over and over on so many levels is extremely hard and exhausting.

It makes sense for practical reasons.

Anyone who understands Indian culture would know. If a family is middle income but if they are open minded and educated it’s alright for the girl.

But you know, if she is used to 10 servants back at home and after marriage she is expected to cook and clean for an entire household of 10 people (and sometimes even be working), of course it will create problems.. no matter how much love you have for the person .. it fizzles out. It’s better to be practical and think how much adjustment can one make. We don’t have to be class conscious or casteist to do that!

Even among various castes, the expectations from a bahu or a husband/ wife are different. Many parents refuse out of caste marriages due to practical reasons.

I have known people who have run away with they bf/ gf and came back after a few months and married someone else! One girl was even married to her bf but they didn’t register it. The guy didn’t even have a job at the time just had few savings and they started bickering a lot, after 7-8 months the girl went back home and married a guy her parents picked for her!! LMAO.

Also, the moment she got remarried he found a good government job!!! 😆

What you're saying is only true when it's a joint family. Most of the families in India also are now micro familes, consisting of mother, father and their kid.

Youngsters usually move out and live on their own once they get a job in another city. When they marry, its only them and their spouse in the house. So no, every decision doesn't need to be approved by the parents. Indians are not that obedient to their parents, and I'm speaking from experience.

Not just current generation, the generation of my parents are also not like that you described. It's only shown in those saas-bahu shows. While that is still true for many families, it's far from most.

Stop spreading misinformation😡. Aishwarya was asked not only to do Kajol's role but also to do Amir's role. In fact, she was also asked to direct this movie and Filmfare already had the "director of the year" award reserved for her.

That's not the point though -- point is Ash was offered everything from Mother India to Titanic to Gone with the Wind -- even films made before Ash's great-great grandmother was born.

No when you are young, you live young and free but as you marry, need decisions made, more often than not families have to get involved, buying a house, having kids, needing help with kids etc. etc. and you will be surprised by the intrusiveness and the privilege to knowledge the guy's parents feel. Plus when you are making so many changes the insecurity, unfamiliarity and the perceived notion of being judged can be overwhelming. Our thought processes are shaped by our experiences and as time passes we do change our point of view and thinking. Not in soap operas, I have seen enough to know in the world around me at least it stands true. Peace out 😊
