Please speak for yourself, maybe you lack critical thinking and comprehension. The above post completely reeks of elitism on your behalf. Before you conclude that someone made a mistake, why not introspect yourself and see that perhaps it's you who is failing repeatedly to understand the basic fact that movies are a personal experience and everyone has a right to put forth their opinion. It's one thing to disagree, and another thing to shove your thinking down others throats.

 

Here's a master list of logical fallacies. Now are you seriously going to tell everyone that an elitist put this list together?

 

Do you even realize that before you used the word elitist to describe me, you could've accused me of brow-beating everyone. But that went out the window the second you decided to compare me to an elitist. Where exactly are you going with this discussion?!!

 

Everyone does have the right put forth their opinion. I've repeatedly said that the Baahubali movies offers a refreshing, magical experience and they have universal appeal.

 

You went from this...

Your entire post is one big hyperbole and nothing else.

 

Don't draw stupid conclusions based on an outlier like bahubali.

 

to this...

The above post completely reeks of elitism on your behalf.

 

BTW, making a sweeping comment saying all Indians lack critical thinking is being both elitist and a snob.

 

Still think i'm an elitist?

 

Why did you even include the word elitist? Where are you taking this discussion?

 

Using your logic i should be asking you where's the point in one elitist calling out another elitist for being a bigger elitist?

 

 

Do you even comprehend what others write ? What has karan johar / bollwyood got to do with our discussion on bb review ? You talk of problems in bollywood, and when I highlighted similar problems down in south film industry, you just diverted the topic. Now you again bring it up ? Man, first decide what you want to debate upon. Don't just keep jumping across topics.

 

You thought i was jumping across topics? I didn't think it was important to highlight that the South Indian cinema industry isn't free of nepotism, elitism, etc. because it's a well known fact. Why even bring it up? But even if i did bring it up it still doesn't change the fact that Bollywood, though being is a far far bigger industry with unlimited resources and a massive network, hasn't produced an epic like Baahubali because they've typecast their superstars into metrosexual roles.

 

And just because you write that i cannot comprehend what everyone else writes doesn't mean that i lack comprehension.

 

 

Compared to the usual Bollywood flick, the Baahubali franchise has much more universal appeal.

 

And you really can't blame the haters because they've been brainwashed by Bollywood. They just can't seem to wrap their head around the fact that India could produce an epic movie and that a film industry other than Bollywood pulled it off.

 

This is how the discussion started. To use your logic against you, why is it that you never stopped the discussion then?

 

 

So again, speak for yourself, don't impose your views (or lack thereof) on others !

 

Maybe you should quit reverse arguing for the sake of it.

all this because some of us think story/narration in bb2 is not upto the mark (or the movie didn't meet my expectations I had as compared to bb1) ? Clearly, in your own words, either either you lack critical thinking (which you keep confessing to repeatedly) or you've idle time on your hands and you are using it to just troll us !

 

I still stick to my views on the movie that its a visual masterpiece which could've had better story / narration / conclusion ! But, you can choose to stay in your bubble and go on correcting your presumed grave mistakes/ logical fallacies being committed on the forum. Either ways, I'm out of this discussion .... adios :wave:

Typecasting is native to Bollywood

 

A 4-year old article that still makes sense!

 

Eager to explore newer boundaries, Sunil also feels that Bollywood binds the actors by typecasting them.

 

Sunil observes - "This is another peculiar behaviour native to Bollywood. No matter how big or successful you are, you can still be typecasted. You can take Salman Khan and Amir Khan as an example. Now, they both are accomplished actors but still when a viewer goes to see their film, they have a set expectation ki movie me ye hoyega or aise hoyega. I don't agree with this typecasting. An actor is an actor and can do any role under the sun. Though he might do comedy better than action or drama but there should not be any hard and fast rules."

Saw Bahubali 2 today. It was alright nothing special or mind blowing. First half was quite boring and full of cringe worthy scenes and dialogues. I was so bored that I just wanted to leave theatre.

 

2nd was more entertaining and fun to watch.

 

6/10

 

Yeah but that doesn't change the fact that first movie was lame for me in first half and as per Neo, 2nd one has even more of that crap so I might not even consider it watching on tv. Will probably record it and forward to action parts. Also there was that ridiculous tattoo scene in Bahubali 1. Is there a scientific explanation for that too? That was one more pathetic cringe worthy scene.

If you didn't like First movie then you should definitely avoid it watching in theatre. Acting and story is nothing special.

 

I will compare it to Transformers movies. Just like Transformer movies, Bahubali 2 offers Fantastic special effects and action set piece moments along with fantastic art direction and music. Production quality of the movie is top notch but everything else is strictly mediocre just like Transformer movies.

 

 

I respect and salute Director of Bahubali for making this movie but I can't blindly ignore all the flaws and call it best Indian movie ever. For me it's nowhere near other Indian movies like Dangal nd all. It's my personal opinion. No offense to Bahubali fans.

Bc Tamanah ka toh koi role hi nahi. Total waste. Ek dialogue bhi nahi diya bechaari ko.

 

I don't think there is a shady angle to that story.

 

Only recently, popular Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut had 40 minutes of her best scenes in Rangoon (2017) chopped! And she was the lead actress in the movie! :eyepop:
