Is our MEDIA in some inferiority complex?

I’ve seen Shah Rukh’s work, I’ve talked to him and I know him. He’s like us. Two more zeroes as far as the rates are concerned. That’s about it. – Lollywood Actor, Shan.

I know Pakistani actors were cheated in the past, so naturally, I made sure that whatever was discussed was also received by me in black and white. In my interviews which I gave to local Indian channels, I made it clear that our artists and their performances are not in any way inferior and then only difference is of size and in the number of opportunities. –Lollywood Actor, Moammar Rana.

Pakistani cinema halls will screen Indian movies to save the near-to-collapse industry. –

Lux Style Awards 2004 could be far more organized, more expressive of Pakistani culture and above all could be more well-marketed in the Middle East melting pot Dubai. If the event had been organized by Pakistanis rather then giving the every responsibility from the stage back-drop to dress designs to Indians.

Don’t we had the guts to organize LSA by ourselves?? –

Raw Onion:- These reflections are point to ponder in themselves.

Do we really need the comparisons? Only we need is to learn from their example, our past, research for the good and the ‘rest will become a history’.

Yes these little-in-act actors can lever their frailing careers by acting in Bollywood flicks even as guest appearance on the name of Indo-Pak friendship…rubbish!! Our integrity does matters not only in Political arena but also in entertainment industry not to forget the cricket pitch.

Attention: The mega-classic serials of 80s ‘Tanhaiyyan’ ‘Dhop Kinare’ …. Were trail blazers. Our past dramas were great in the story line, direction and every thing. They were superb and these so called Indians use to follow them in past but Today when we have lost our identity and stands nowhere our dramas have become a mess, eaten by Glamour; the classiness has almost disappeared.

Its time for a Reprisal getting out from the shell of Inferiority Complex..

I have been outraged by both Pakistani and Indian movies in the past, I have ran around yelling who in the world does that or where in the world do we see that candy wrapper culture but I have come to make peace with it now.

Movies are a business, and the aim of any business is to make as much profit as possible. And there are not many of us "psuedo-intellectuals" out there to sell 'artsy' movies. So the film makers will continue to pour their tried and tested formula movies down the gullable throats of teenagers and house wives.

I walked out of Veer-Zaara, Mein hoN na and some other indian movies half way into the movie because I could not take it any more. Shahrukh khan has become monotonous, and is trying to cash out his chips while he can. Why is it that in every indian movie the girl has to be a Muslim and the boy would always be a Hindu. Because it sells, right? or because Shiv Sena would burn down indian theaters if they reverse the roles.

I can rant on and on about I loath the stupid indian and Pakistani movies. But I have to make one exception here. Naseeruddin Shah is one of the best actors I have ever seen.
