It's the old age winning formula. I think after Once Upon a Time, and Dabangg, producers are seeing that going for mega stunts and big exotic locations is an expensive mistake. I'm sure they'll re-evaluate their stance and bring films back to India. I know the Western market is lucrative, but...

Well it makes a change from seeing someone dancing in a mall in Dubai, or under a waterfall! ;)

I enjoyed it very much, it was a pure masala entertainment flick. Escapism of the purest form. It makes a good return to Bollywood roots by being filmed in UP. I just can't stand all these NRI type films set overseas, with skyscrapers and all things Western. I can't warm to such artificial...

Most definitely. Look, we experienced floods, and my village had an influx of snakes as a result in Pakistan. That's the way nature works. But the wider context of course is that this shouldn't be happening at an international sporting event. The athletes villages will be complete 4 days...

"A police constable saw the cobra going inside the sewer, which means that it had been roaming around in the area. Our team reached there at 2.40 pm and rescued the snake, which was sleeping inside the sewer. It is a venomous snake and can be dangerous," said Arshad Khan, rescue co-coordinator...

Well you don't expect to find them in the room of an athlete at an international sporting event! This is not a dog, but an adult cobra, totally lethal. That changes the magnitude of such a discovery. Athletes will be totally on edge if they're reading this new revelation (if they weren't already).

Well for one, there will be a large backlash from the opposition, as well as the public - all pointing to the govt to say: "We told you so, we said we're being prostituted, have given our lives on the order of that country, and their President can't even step off the plane to visit us whilst...

I agree, I think it would be an unbelieveable snub if he didn't. Even Clinton stopped off to meet Musharraf, and that was after his coup which was severely condemned, and Kargil which didn't go down well in Washington. If he doesn't, then as you say, the signal to the Govt, as well as the...

Although corruption is perhaps partly to blame, I think the management and structures overseeing the CWG's have been severely lacking - which is not entirely India's fault as such. This info explains alot about why things have gone wrong: "He pointed out that part of the problem facing the...

Forget it being very important, how about very laughable and embarrassing? Especially when a 58 year old Prime Minister calls a 22 year old political novice, and overseas based 'student', to brief, consult and bounce ideas off! :hitwall:

Haha, I love that 'koi baat nahin' attitude :lol: But on a more serious note, probably relates well to my earlier point of a relaxed approach and attitude that's overshadowed the construction work :coffee:

As someone has touched on, Beijing was completed way before on time. There wasn't these last minute problems and construction work. Have you seen the official timeline of when certain phases were meant to be finished by? The CWG is awfully behind track. I have seen some of the venues, and no...

The OIC is useless. It can't do anything purposeful for Palestine, what hope that it can do anything for Kashmir? There is no appetite on the world stage to get involved, and they won't. If our politicians, and our people are disinterested, then what can you expect the international community...

Given GHQ is keeping its role in politics at a distance, do you honestly feel the PPP / PML-N and perhaps the judiciary will allow for their meddling? Sheikh Rashid is non-committal to the idea of joining ranks and has said he doubts what impact he can make given he's not in Parliament. Of...

Loyalty to India? Is that how desperate you're getting? Struggling to accept what I'm saying, and then using an imaginative ethnic link to find an answer to your own question? Really is scraping the bottom of the barrel. So sad.

Not sure what that has to do with anything, but I'm a Pakistani. That's sufficient.

Divine is pushing it! But +1 on the second point :tup:

Guys calm down on derailing this thread into a slanging match, and one bordering on looks, slums and what not. The basic premise (and what I think this person was trying to articulate), is that in a large metropolis like Mumbai, someone from Karachi can find distinct similarities. Is the...

State sponsored you talk of, well isn't Rana Sanaullah the Law Minister in Punjab? Isn't his links with the SSP and other terrorist organisations well known? Does he not use these organisations to his own political benefit and to increase his vote base? There are bad apples on both sides of...

I totally disagree and condemn those acts of course. What about muslims massacring muslims like we see in Pakistan? Or does that not count?
