A cook has to be blamed for a bad dish and not the ingredients... it is as simple as that 😆

If actor should not be criticised, then director also should not be criticised.After all he gives same instructions to diff. actress.If she is not able to understand the instruction it is not director's fault.If u believe she is very good dancer with great expressions then why director is bashed.For bashing of director, this thread should be closed.I request to mods, please.

Thank you deepa.. for posting this

i was trying to write something on the same lines...

i do feel that the director.. might not have given the right brief and cues about Gopi's character..

at the end of the day,it is the director who has to Okay the shots to be fed to the viewers .,. and if he thought that the scene was not as expected then he could go for 30-40 retakes or even more if he wishes to...and make the actor deliver ... a director cannot take what ever the actor puts up in the scene..he needs to derive what he wants from the actors...

A cook has to be blamed for a bad dish and not the ingredients...

I guess everyone has a right to express their likes and dislikes.. be it any one from a newbie to a Mod..or even global Mod...



well a cook is one who should be able to make a best pot with any given ingredient ... this is what happens in Iron Chef America - there will be a secret ingredient with which the chef has to make the bestmbest dish ,,, the chef cannot say the ingredient is not nice..he has to cook something with it so that it is yummy and appeals to the judges

a director should try to derive the output from any actor - that is where his credibility lies ... he has every right to NOT OKAY the shot if he felt that the actor is not doing it properly .. even the producer cannot and will not question the directors creative credibility...

so Actors do what the director want them to do and not vice versa

thank you for your kind comments 😊...its a relief to know that atleast 1 person wont throw rotten eggs and tomatoes at me! 😳

Directors job is to provide an actor with good ingredients and cooking directions but in the end it is the job of a good actor to use those two things. Dev was provided with a strong script. Omg thy gave her the confession scene that viewers waited for 2yrs as her opening. She was given a strong cast to support her. Initially they covered for her lack of onfidence but eventually she as to deliver and she failed to do that.

I understand yaar. There will be some people who will not accept this kind of analysis, no matter what.I'm glad you didn't have jhootey thrown at you😉

Overall, it's nice to see that there are others who understand this. And I like munni's analogy: If the dish is bad, you can't blame the ingredients, because it was the chef that cooked it😛

nonsense analogy. It shows how both megas and Minnie has attitude problem. Unfortunately, director has unskilled resource, that has rotten the food. You see Dev on tv. Not director. Hence Dev should be blamed.

Very good post, and like you said we have seen a Gopi (Gia), from fearful, underestimating herself to someone having gain a lot of confidence, which she used when necessary. The way she fight for her marriage and the way she talks with Ahem after fire incident and the day Anita was leaving, shows us someone having matured through the way. And expecting Dev to act the same is the director and writer's responsibility.
