Two perfect pieces that made my morning!

First I read this gem - stupendous!  I do not know who gets the award - should it be for creative journalism or stupidity in film-making?

Bebo in chaddis!

WhenKareena Kapoor returns from the schedule of Agent Vinod in Latvia around mid September, she has a lot of cleaning up to do. Her best friend, filmmaker Karan Johar, who loves Bebo to distraction, has ordered her to empty her wardrobe.

Karan jokes, “I have asked her to throw out all her old clothes and fill her wardrobe with chaddis (he means shorts) and other skimpy outfits. She has to sport a short haircut and I also want her to try and get herself into a size minus (not a size zero) because she has to match Imran Khan perfectly for my film tentatively titled Short Term Shaadi.”

Post Diwali, Bebo may actually think of making a trip to Paris and London accompanied by designer Manish Malhotra to get herself a totally new wardrobe that will consist of LBDs, chaddis and other equally seductive clothes.

  1. I have started getting irritated by KJo now.
    For him movies mean clothes and looks, no wonder they look pathetic to the audience.

  2. You need to change with time. Whatever KJO did in 90s and early 2000 was good for that time. But most of the people have seen it and probably want different. People who don't change perish. Ex - David Dhawan + Govinda, Subhas Ghai,Indra Kumar,Darshans...

  3. I have heard Short Term Shaadi is based on What Happens in Vegas. If so, WHY on earth is he remaking such a bad, bad movie?

  4. I agree with you KB, but KJo seems to be too caught up in a cirlce of his "friends" who just applaud to whatever he say.

    Honestly I think he is not even a good director, just one with a lot of resources, not just money, but links as well.

    Also, I think he lived all his life in a cocoon, so he genuinely doesn't know India. Foreign educated, born iwht a silver spoon in his mouth, he has been pretty cut off from Indian sensibilities.

    And not to mention too pretentious, like KANK, MNIK were attempts just to prove that he has matured, when he had the same immaturity dealing with such subjects.

    If he is immature, so is everyone around him, hence we see all half baked projects, IHLS, Dostanas and all. all because of his media relations he escape the flak.

    This guy goes to London and US to write scripts, talk about being pretentious.
