The ‘ Larai – Jhagraa’

Aha … One of the few good things that has happened to me in this lonely , tiresome and boring vacation is 3-idiots. I’ve watched the film twice and slowly gathering a hard feeling for those who haven’t seen it till now !
So , to put it simple .. I loved the film and wouldn’t mind watching it a few more times . One Of my close friend ( actually a senior), Ishan bhaiyya , has very intellectually and immaculately crafted Some Goof-up’s . I like his joblessness! Cheers to Him ….

Now , What’s creating a situation of tension in this supposedly Peaceful world is the ‘larai-jhagra‘ . I have been following the controversy between Chetan Bhagat And Aamir Khan for quite a time now , and I am getting Bored now!

I think Bhagat is right to feel a hard punch across his face. While much of what made the film so entertaining was not in the book,that is the case with many adaptations, including slumdog- millionare to be one of the example. It’s a well gathered fact that the genesis of the story was certainly the book, and by having a story credit at the start of the film that did not include Bhagat’s name, the film-makers were being intellectually dishonest. I mean , how much would it cost the film-makers to put up Bhagat’s name along with Abhijat Joshi and Hirani. I think , It’s very silly on their part , not to acknowledge Bhagat’s name. The resultant publicity has done everyone involved a world of good. Bhagat’s books must be flying off the shelves, and I don’t imagine he will be pissed for long. ( I even Got to Know that he has already apologized to Aamir Khan … Asshole .. . Why the hell did u even start the chaos then !)

Also, the contract itself is ridiculous. Bhagat actually signed his film rights away in perpetuity. This is crazy. A standard clause in most adaptation rights in the West is that if the film isn’t on the floors within a particular period, the rights revert to the author. What if Chopra’s team lost interest in this film, moved on to other projects, and Danny Boyle came to Bhagat and said he wanted to make a film on his book? Bhagat would be helpless, because the rights would be with VVC, who could either be churlish and refuse to part with them, or could benefit from the resultant windfall without Bhagat seeing any share of it.

Anyways , All I want to say is put a stop to this controversy or whatever educated people call it . People are getting really bored now! Go Watch the film and say All Izz Well ….

Peace … \m/
