Abbas is like a film derived from revolutionaries of british india has not aged well because father was killed.. (keep in mind the characters in the film are college going kids, so not much maturity can be expected from them) but Kuch Kuch hota hai gets 9 points
How did Abbas shoehorn the 'dad doesn't give me attention' angle into the killing? Inexplicable. If there is anything somewhat problematic, it is the indiscriminate killing of the Defence Minister based on alleged corruption. Also the DM badmouthing a deceased military officer was quite over the top. That will possibly never happen in India given the general public outlook towards the forces.
To have one of the great cinematic masterpieces termed as problematic because of one plot line is so reductive ... The movie needs to have such an ending so that it is accepted and celebrated by Indian audience who wants to see the protagonist winning over the evil depicted in the film Abbas please just watch art movies
I forgot to ask this when this episode came out: what the f**k is Friendship Day? And when the f**k is Friendship Day? You’re supposed to tie something on to your friends like Raksha Bandhan? Anyway, I’ll toss in Kal Ho Naa Ho, SRK and Saif’s friendship. I honestly would have preferred a movie just focusing on the two of them.
There is a fort called Doraha fort in Ludhiana where the shooting happened and the name changed to RDB fort after the movie and same shit happened , I have had beers there but never threw it there....
