Rohit Shetty himself is a South Indian ... I don't think he will event are to insult his own religion or try to hurt his family sentiment in this process!

Whatever RO have seen from films I have just been impressed by culture and beauty of South! Not so many picture have explored it beauty in BW and its good step!

Yes. Am not even South Indian and I felt offended. The movie def mocks the South Indians. Not their language..I felt Rohit Shetty was mocking their looks. And in the beg Srk calls those fat men poor people. What was the need for that? From what I understood..Srk's character isn't even rich.

His character is rich.. his grandpa left everything behind him. 😆 and I used to think like you about the look thing before watching the movie. But then Deepika played a pretty south indian girl.

Coming to topic, it would have been mocking had they used the word 'Aiyyo' gazillion times.. since thats the common perception about SIians😳. I was relieved that CE didn't portray South Indians in a stereotypical way.

in films, it's just humor. Come onnn...

I agree with your point of view ... yes other communities have also been mocked in several movies, just made a thread on it bcoz CE is comlpletely dedicated to south Indian people, even the title.
