Dont be lazy Subramani learn to read till the end.
We tend to gloss over things and we gloss over life. the finer points we
miss my dear.
Learn to read details and give the writer some credit by reading what he has
written. Of course then you will have piles of unread messages like me
Smile.
If that is the cardinal rule then the Times of India journalists do not know
how to write. I never get the relevant information in Para 1.

The funny thing is, the name is mentioned only in the bottom para. The
cardinal rule of journalism says all necessary info of an article must
be available in the first two paras.

How could you forget Daasi and Qatl? In both the films, Sanjeev Kumar
beautifully played the role of a blind

vamshisir,
We can put the film (sparsh) in the category of good film which you
mentioned.
In this movie the acting of nashiruddin shah is extra ordinary.
And treatment of the subject is really great.
Thanks.

True that some films portray disabled in such a way to laugh at

But
films like Black, Mayuri, Koshish, Khamoshi reflect the lives of the
disabled.

I don`t know if this films are made to create awairness for people
or
make
laugh at differently abled. Check particularly comedy films ,tv show
you
feel like hitting directors, actors for their insensitivity. Even
movie
Black I don`t think was properly made, I donot know other peoples
view
Thanks

Once I was walking on a road with my 2 visually impaired friends. We
heard a comment from a stranger who was talking with somebody. He
sad:
don't trust or help them, they can rob a bank. They are able to do
anything. We couldn't do anything except laughing.
We couldn't understood, he was praising us or anything ells.
What message the films spreads?

Going by the role she is playing, (Deepika will be seen as a
visually
challenged girl who can dance on Skates), It does not seem so.
Another bollywood movie which portrayed the skills of VIs was
Ankhen.
Though the purpose for which the blinds were used is illegal,
robbing a
bank, the skills of blinds were well exploited. My personal
thought.

Acting blind is difficult: Deepika - News & Interviews - Bollywood
-
Entertainment - The Times of India

ws/Acting-blind-is-difficult-Deepika/articleshow/6
Lead actors playing visually challenged characters is not new, but
for
Deepika Padukone it was a first. She describes it as her toughest
role
yet but also says she is exactly like the heroine - a woman who is
self-confident, ambitious and never gives up.
"For me, this role out of all the films that I have done was the
most
challenging. It's not been easy. It required a lot of focus and
concentration. I had to observe a lot of blind people before I
could
play this role," Deepika said.
"I think I identify with the character Pinky a lot because Pinky is
someone who is extremely self-assured. She is extremely confident,
knows exactly what she wants. She is ambitious and she never gives
up,
which is exactly how I am," she said.
This time director Pradeep Sarkar has teamed up with Deepika Neil
Nitin Mukesh and a bunch of other actors to narrate the story of a
group of youngsters living in the back streets of Mumbai. Releasing
Aug 20, it will see Neil playing a boxer who fights blindfolded,
while
Deepika will be seen as a visually challenged girl who can dance on
skates. "The biggest challenge was to pretend that I was not
seeing.
There were no supporting tools like black goggles or a stick with
me
to make it obvious that I am blind. For example, we friends are
sitting together and discussing something and one of them says,
'arre
dekh na' and then realises I can't see. Or he removes a glass a bit
aside spontaneously not realising I couldn't see that...So everyone
had to focus and give a lot of attention all the time while
shooting
the film," said Deepika.
The actress along with other cast and crew spent time with visually
challenged people to understand their behavioural nuances and
figure
out counter actions. "It took around six months of reading and
interacting. Lots of physical movements I had to get use to. It's
like
feeling things around you without actually being able to see them.
"We
didn't visit any blind school, but all of us met a lot of blind
people... it was not just for me but also very important for Neil
and
the group of friends I am interacting with in the film, even for
'dada' (Sarkar) to see how it is to interact with the blind. So I
think it was a group process for all of us," she said.
Deepika says she didn't find it nerve-wracking to do the
implausible
stunts. "As I have been an athlete and a sportsperson before, I
think
it just makes it much easier and interesting for me. I think to be
able to do stunts, you need to be physically fit. It needs a lot of
dedication, it needs a lot of control on the kind of food you are
eating. So it was a lot of discipline," said Deepika.
It's her zeal for sports that gave her the courage to train in
scuba
diving and sky diving. "The skating is something I had to learn for
the film, but the scuba diving and this sky diving is something I
have
done for myself. It's always nice to challenge your limits. I
always
thought that I was scared of heights until I jumped off a plane.
Today
when I fly in a plane and look outside, it doesn't feel like
anything," said Deepika.
After "Lafangey Parindey", Deepika has two films - "Khelein Hum Jee
Jaan Sey" and "Break Ke Baad" - in queue for release this year.
The actress doesn't get bogged down by work pressure; neither does
she
get jittery by audience expectation. "I don't consider it as work
pressure, as I enjoy doing it. But I feel very relaxed when I spend
my
time alone at home after I pack up every day or I speak to my
parents
and spend time with them. I don't expect people to expect anything.
I
know I have given it my best. I obviously hope the best for every
film," said Deepika.
