well, most folk behave around here. thats the reason there is only 1 ban. also the reason why I participate here. refuge from other forums.

It just happened to be in this thread, and my chatisement was not reserved for anyone though his posts happen to be the most egregious. It was meant for everyone who turns discussions into comparisons and makes blanket statements about whole groups of films (pro or con). We dont need to turn every thread into comparisons or bashing.





I didnt take it to be directed at me. No offense taken



Exactly so we cant really leave it to the moderators(s) to restore the spirit

Let's get back to filmi Garam Masala instead of ----.

Garam Masala is starting in Ottawa from Nov 11 at the best theatre in Ottawa, SILVER CITY. Now, we just want a DD print to go with it and it'll be red hot Garam Masala.

Box Office wise, GM is hottest among the 3 Diwali/ Idd releaes. I'm looking forward to seeing it in THX theatre.
If, it indeed comes with a DD print, it'll be the best screening available in Ottawa, Montreal Toronto.

Looks like people have eaten too much Garam Masala here!! Badhazmi ka shikar haen baechare!

Ready for more, on public demand:

Song relocation in Garam Masala
By IndiaFM News Bureau, November 14, 2005 - 04:28 IST
We have heard of song additions and deletions in a movie after its release. But this time it’s a case of song relocation in the movie. The placement of the song ‘Kiss Me Baby’ has been changed in the film. The song sung by Adnan Sami, composed by Pritam and featuring the leading males of the film, Akshay Kumar and John Abraham along with some hot and spicy bikini babes, was shot just weeks before the movie’s release to be used as a special promotional music video to publicize them movie more on the music channels. The song was not a part of the film but was played while the end credits rolled.

But then the makers felt that the song was too good to be wasted on the end credits (when the audiences just walk out of the theatres) and it needed better visibility as a part of the movie itself. So they changed the song’s position from the end credits to somewhere in the second half in between the movie’s proceedings. Apart from that it is also repeated when the end credits roll.

OK, I just saw Garam Masala. Man...it was...well, I don't want to say "bad"...let's just say, "not good." You see, I don't want to say that Garam Masala was "bad," as I desparately want to like it. I like Priyadarshan, and I like Akshay Kumar, and I love Paresh Rawal, and I want to like Garam Masala...but, I can't. Really, does anyone here honestly think that Garam Masala was a commendable effort? The comedic plot is older than the hills, the execution is to be scoffed at, the characters are beyond bland and uninteresting. This isn't even the type of film you can enjoy if you "leave your brain at the door"; it's just dull, uninspired, sophomoric film-making. The fact that this festival of mediocrity comes from an experienced, respected film-maker, such as Priyadarshan, is even more saddening. As an "initial effort," it might be excused as an "OK first try," but, for Priya, it's just pathetic. More terrible, is that the guy seems to slowly be losing his touch. Hulchul was bad, Kyon Ki was horrendous, and Garam Masala just seems acceptable by comparison. How is this the same man who brought us Hera Pheri, Virasat, and even Hungama (along with, of course, many Malayalam classics [from what I hear]). Akshay Kumar, one of the most talented comedic actors in the Indian film industry, is beyond wasted; he actually pales in comparison with John Abraham. Paresh Rawal is good, but even he is given the bare minimum with which to work. Really, I just have nothing else to say about this film. The title song (crooned by the immensely gifted Adnan Sami) is, by far, the best part of this venture, and I honestly wish I'd gone no further than watching the video of it.

Rana, I just read what you wrote: that explains it. I had no clue how the hell that song started up in the middle of everything (though, it's not so great a movie, I suppose, that that would have been unimaginable).

Oops, it's not what I wrote, I copied it as I saw this report on indiafm.com and did give ref to the source.

Of course. I meant what you posted (which was, indeed, a quotation). Sorry — !
