Ramu will bounce back like Sachin Tendulkar

RGV ki aag bhuj gayee!
RGV seems to be in confession mood. You can see him giving interviews to everyone and anyone being candid about the film he remade. It takes guts to confess and accept mistakes. And it is indeed a revealation to discover the another side of Ram Gopal Varma.
There's no denying that one section of so called 'film critics' are always on their toes to destroy his reputation and malign him. But in the case of RGV ki AAG, it wasnt's just this section which completely torn apart the movie. It was a spontaneous shock from not just critics and but even Ramu's ardent fans. How can Ramu do this? It was just a shock! Nobody would have taken it so seriously if Sholay remake was attempted by a any C grade director. But Ramu has established himself with his hard work. And he did make a name by making successful and different movies like Rangeela and Satya.
When so many people admire your works and follow your steps, you need to be cautious. And RGV ki AAg wasn't a careless step from Ramu. But Ramu is too strong a filmmaker to get distrubed by these critics or the failure of movies(Infact I don't remember his last hit film). I feel Ramu is like Sachin Tendulkar. People always expect him to score a century or else they'll crucify him.
And criticism always made Sachin more adamant and determined. He always answered them with his bat. I'm sure the best answer Ramu can give to his critics by some path breaking movies. That's the only way to shutup the mouth of critics

Kareena-Shahid split? Shall we care?

We are made to believe that Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapur are very much together. Earlier we were made to believe that Bipasha Basu and John Abraham are still together. I can't digest these little games the stars play.
My sources say that Kareena Kapoor herself called the reporter and planted the story of breakup! And it is believed that she herself divulged her proximity to Chote Nawab, Saif Ali Khan, being the reason for the breakup! And once Shahid returned home, they are together at media events, promotions etc etc.
It does good for our obsession with stars! We are too much obsessed with these stars' private life and neglect the basic platform, which is CINEMA. I can hear crores of people yelling out that they're big movie buffs. But the truth is that they are crazy about these stars and their private lives. They are only star-struck people. Their craze is not driven by the art of film making. May be very little percentage of them are really crazy about the art of movie making.
That is the one reason we, inspite of churning out record number of movies every year, are still lagging behind by miles in terms of standard of film making.
Hope, someday this craze for the stars will help Indian movies get a better standard of cinema
