@An Jo – SRK has never flaunted his religious identity. Yes, he’s Muslim, and there are certain gestures/practices that he follows but he’s never ever been anything other than a pure Indian in that sense – and he has always said so.
You don’t have to like him but the vituperation against him is uncalled for, IMO. (And no, he’s no AB, but he has an on-screen charisma that makes him one of the most beloved stars of the past three decades. Nothing you say will take that away from him.)
But is that worse than showing Bharat Mata being stripped and dancing with a bra in previous T series movies or entire Bollywood paying obeisance to Dawood Ibrahim on his birthday religiously every year?
Huh? Did that happen (re: T-series films)?
Re: Dawood Ibrahim – yes, when you’re unsure whether saying ‘no’ will cost you your life/career/honour, I guess, yes, obeisance is a small price to pay. Unless you walk in their shoes… etc., etc., etc.
I wonder how many of us would have the guts to say ‘no’.
Which, by the way, SRK did, way back when. (He informed the police.) Though only Preity Zinta had the guts to say that in court.
General comment:
Haven’t watched Pathan yet because action films are not really my cup of tea, and the Besharam rang choreography made me want to dig my eyeballs out with a blunt fork!
But I want to watch it in the theatre, purely as my contribution against the anti-Bollywood/anti-Khan nonsense that has gone on unchecked for far too long. (Again, purely a subjective viewpoint, given that I would be considered one of the tukde tukde gang, because apparently, criticising anything that the present government and its thugs does makes me anti-national.)
