Well said. People unnecessarily point fingers without having the full data. For that matter, Subhash Ghai is NOT a new comer, yet his films (not music) are not doing well for almost a decade. Even taal movie was having shabby script. Yaadein ki kisi ko yaad bhi nahin hai. Kishna was arbitrary. And I think Mangal Pandey movie was badly made. Even, one of the most established and respected name that used ARR as MD made BOSE more like a documentary that showed events but was not really having the feel of independence struggle that should have cone in a BOSE film. So, I think it is not really the resume of the director that matters. There are good and bad newcomers, there are good and bad established names. -- Rawat > > I agree..Sakkarkatti was a bad,worse,awfull movie, we also know why > rahman accepted this movie......Rahman most of the time has been spot on > with his selection, sometimes what looks good on paper,doesnt looks well > on the screen...You can't blame him.. > > Who in the world expected RDB movie to be a blockbuster..with its unsual > story and all the main actors die at the end..do indian audience accept > this kind of ending..especially in bollywood???
