Why do you get worked up when someone points out that a similar film had been made earlier in the South? It’s a fact that until the late 60s, copying direction was north to south (primarily by the Tamil movies industry) and in the recent past the direction has changed and the Bollywood has been liberally copying Music and stories from the Tamil industry. People surely will react if there is consistent emphasis on “Indian film means Bollywood” and “Indian language means Hindi”. Amitabh also made a comment on the former. This is despite the fact that its the non-Hindi film industries which have been consistently giving sensible movies. Now regarding the similarity of this movie with the yester year Tamil movie, the similarity ends with the similar broad theme – love between the two who never met. This movie is completely different from the other one in terms of the treatment. This is more nuanced and so surely bomb in the Hindi box office. Probably would have been a hit in Kerala if it was made in Malayalam.

I don't get worked up my friend.

But, some people just use this forum to spread hatred based on common topics.

I like to believe in the unity in diversity statement to the core, and for me India has always come before my state.

Nice to know. Our constitution respects the diversity but many people dont seem to. Many dont know or refuse to accept the fact that our Constitution does not recognise any language as "National Language". The spirit of India lies in its diversity. One language-one religion concept is against the very idea of India. And everyone should learn the language of where one lives and not expect the locals to learn/know his or her language.

However, diversity does not mean spitting venom against Hindi, or Hindi films- and trashing them as a whole.

Just, for this article, a nice film which is getting standing ovations at all films festivals across the world, is being demeaned by many because it happens to come from the industry where a trashy films like Grand Masti is being made.

Hello Injun, every action has a reaction. So that is what you see from Ajay kumar.

Every one will be gone case because a bigger gone case is trying to force Hindi on everyone in India. One bloke is asking if you are trying to dissociate from India just because one does not know Hindi. For this ignoramus, India is Hindi, that is why India is like this. Unless, one strongly condemns this attitude India will never develop.

Tomorrow, this guy will try to force everyone to eat dhokla, next he will try to force 'honour killings', then he will force everyone to follow his deity, then his toothpaste. There will be no end to this kind of forcing others to do his bidding.

review of The Lunch box
by rammurti narasimhan on Sep 20, 2013 11:11 AM  | Hide replies

whoever Raja Sen may be, he has savoured the lunch in the Lunch box and has written a real review of the film that one would love to see and enjoy the joie de vi�vre by Batra(again a stranger), Perhaps strangers add to your life's beauty than your near and der ones......hereafter I am going to look for some note in my Lunch Box....alas but i don't get any!
