Why her ?
by Chris on Mar 29, 2008 12:08 PM  | Hide replies

Mira Nair makes some really terrible movies.
Starting from Salaam Bombay, The Perez family, etc. Monsoon Wedding was higly overrated.

Frankly speaking, all her movies are overrated (may be because she was showing India in a negative light and getting applauded by western media)Shekhar Kapoor is a much better Director.

if not her then who.
See if it wouldn't had been in news u might not have pointed out .
The fact of the matter is that she is Indian and that makes us proud and surely she is not awarded for the wrong reasons or depicting wrong things.
And please be clear to whom u wanted to be honoured.

what is her contribution to her own state Orissa in India? See the plight of the women in orissa? It is pathetic. What is their literacy rate? Dissmal. She talks about her achievement abroad. She, following Ray has projected only poverty of our country and has not dared to project the achievements. Both have earned millions of dollars but did nothing for development of their mother state. See Ray's daughter - one is following her father tradition and the other is busy in Re-mix showing her anatomy as if that is only life.

This honour yet again is indian settled abroad sponsored.

Better to ignore.

Just like Shobha de writes hot and steamy stuff to get money, Mira Nair shows India's poverty, filth and ugly side to the world to get money.

Compare her with great NRIs like, Indra Nooyi, LAxmi Mittal, Arun Sarin...you will feel like beating her

You should change your name to Violent Protest. If you don't like her films, don't see them.

Deserving award-Unlike India
by Manali Thomas on Mar 29, 2008 10:42 AM

Indians get awards abroad which they actually deserve. Where as in India, the awards are manipulated. Who must have thought ' Black' will garner so many awards. The movie was in fact remake of a foreign film and whole of India went ga..ga.. over it.

Mira Nair and rediff.com deserve the appreciation of whole world for such a function, which apparently is an event to be remembered.

Congratulations to Rediff.com and Ms. Mira nair

oh...man!! thanks for pointing this out.

Yes, I liked Salam Bombay.

I was kind of thinking why fire, water was not in the write up. anyway. I don;t have to take back what I wrote, because she is not deepa mehta :)-
