I laughed more reading this then the film. You have a good sense of humor. I believe the writer-director had no idea about this angle until you came up with your out-of-the-world view. This was an no-brainer laughaton which should not be viewed of having a message of any kind. It was an escapist cinema and doing a thesis on that draws more humour then the film. May be you were wearing an anti-gujarati glasses before watching the movie. As to I know, Aneez Bazmee and not Vipul Shah was the director. Vipul shah only produced the film.

As too insensitivity of gujaratis and others, you over-looked your insensitivity in addressing their spelling wrong. Their cannot be bigger insensitivity then this. Gujaratis, Punjabis, Bengalis are correct spellings. I am amazed you were actually supporting Punjabis and mis-spelt them too. For a moment I was wondering who are “Panjabis” in India???

I think your over-analytic blog will drive more viewers who are looking for humor. All the best.

But it is banal to observe that a so-called “film” instantiates the othering project. Paranthetically, one my refer to Hannah Arendt on the “banality of evil”- aptly applicable to Gujews. The interaction of that statement with Reinhard Heydrich’s comment that “the only Gujew is a dead Jew” is a matter of great theoretical interest.

Returning to the original observation, an air conditioned “mall” is in itself a construct of standardbearers of the Greco-Capitalist worldview such as L&T ECC. A “film” is merely subtext within the overall context of the othering civil engineering and electromechanical works. Observe the tinted, glass-fronted facades- apparently open, but in reality dividing the world into two discrete, distinct spheres- the Greco-Capitalist sphere and the Vidharbhan sphere. There are no farmers in the Greco-Capitalist sphere.

мать,

I am miffed by your discriminatory use, or rather discriminatory overuse of italics for certain words. You may not realize it, but this italicization is contributing to the othering of the vocabulary central, and even essential to the postmodern discourse.

“The Indo-radical spiritual-charismatic healer Paithyonkaari Amma has said “It does not make it easier, to look into those sad eyes that stare through your window, while you sit in air-conditioned comfort.” For the viewers who sit in air-conditioned multiplexes, it has become easy to participate in the neo-imaging of the Imperial project and impose artificial constructs of ‘understanding’ upon the minority, non-Greco-capitalist aspirations of millions of Panjabis. ”

The Hindu used to have actual sentences like these in its literary section when i was reading it.

will you reveal who is the target of this writing expedition?
