I am sick and tired of the same old stupid PR stunts for Indian Movies. If Pinnochio’s syndrome existed in real life all the PR people and the people they talk about would have 2 feet long noses. I won’t lie here when I admit that I love reading about Hollywood and Bollywood news everyday. There is a big difference between the two as at least some of the news you read about is consistent and true while the rest is all BS. Most of the news I read about Bollywood is mostly BS. I am surprised that the PR people in India lack the credentials to go ahead with something. It seems to me that once they get fixated over some word they use it to death. Fine I can understand that “bonding” is not a new word but it seems like lately every hack uses that word for his piece. I must have read a dozen pieces about an actor “bonding” with his co star. Why the hell cant they come up with something new for a change? It is getting to be a tad bit annoying for me to read the same old stuff all the time. Further more most of the stuff I read about a movie or the tit bits the PR guys leak out are really dumb. I can quote the example of Dostana which is meant to be a buddy movie where two guys pretend to be gay so that they can move in with a hot girl so that her conservative aunt wont object. The funny thing is that due to the PR campaign people actually think that John and AB jr are really gay. The buzz on the streets is that they play a gay couple blah blah. People are all like oh they play gays in the movie (it’s not gays. There is no plural in gay you morons. They all need a proper lesson before going out writing.) I fail to understand why people don’t get the plot of the movie and are still clueless despite the fact that they have watched the promos. In-spite of all the promos and publicity, people still cant figure anything out. Fine it may be a bit campy to watch two actors get jiggy with it but then it’s all an act. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out that it’s an act. I blame the PR guys who actually mislead the people so that they get more publicity for their movies. The funny thing is that the top PR guy in India (Who charges 3 times his fees) lacks a lot of skills but makes up for it with his ruthlessness. They all need to get refresher courses or actually go for a lesson so that they can learn how to do proper PR.

It also bugs me to read about stupid controversies which mostly aren’t true. (Why am I even reading about these things in the first place anyway? I can spend my time more constructively. Well I need to cause this is the industry I am affiliated with indirectly and I need to get all my facts (weak excuse))

Yeah fine this is yet another rant and no in depth look at the big picture coz honestly I can’t bother doing the research and pointing out the errors of their way. I think I have made my point when I say that they really need to adopt a new strategy and to stop confusing people out there with no brains. (kinda contradicts it doesnt it). I don’t want people to say oh we have to watch that movie where John and AB jr are lovers (Even though they aren’t and no matter how many times you will contradict that they will still be ignorant about it). Agghhh.

PS. I Am sick and tired of them talking about the fab wardrobes featured in the movies. They kept raving about the Ed Hardy wardrobe featured in some stupid mad cap comedy (Starring Kajol’s Hubby, Anorexic Kapoor (whose skin will start sagging soon), and cant act arora along with other people). I knew about Ed Hardy a long time back and always thought it was a bite exclusive. Now I think I wont see the end of it coz it’s apparently so “cool”,
