In the Bubble Bath
Jerry Pinto on the media circus for KANK and onwards:
The media began to behave as if the film had actually investigated marriage as a serious text instead of a way of showing pretty people doing petty things against a backdrop of extreme privilege.For that is what Karan Johar’s cinema is about but you’d think he was actually making something important and meaningful. So meaningful that NDTV literally couldn’t stop talking about it…
Watch Barkha Dutt talking about remakes on We the People, when the remade Don (Shahrukh-Priyanka-Kareena) comes out. For you see, NDTV has managed to tie up with Farhan Akhtar for that one and he might just give them a little spot in which some extra holds up a mike saying NDTV. Industry sources say that CNN-IBN has tied up with Jaan-e-mann (Salman-Akshay-Preity), so we will have Rajdeep Sardesai on love triangles, perhaps? No one knows which way J.P. Dutta will jump when his version of Umrao Jaan (at Kargil, perhaps?) is released but someone will snap up this one since it has Aishwarya, Abhishek and Sunil Shetty and then we’ll have indepth interviews with the designer of the costume and the zari workers who slogged for hours….
‘The media began to behave as if the film had actually investigated marriage as a serious text instead of a way of showing pretty people doing petty things against a backdrop of extreme privilege.’
this is what’s been happening in hindi cinema since 90s..jerry pinto says it so well.
