Why New York..why NRIs..??? Isnt India a place where people can fall in love...or is it just not sofiii enough..! I want to see a movie coming from KJ which is shot in India and is about common ppl living in India..!<BR/>2. I do understand Shahrukh's frustration for his being a looser..but i do not understand Rani for falling for such a disgruntled guy..and leaving the handsome AB..! I mean how long is this new marriage gonna last..???<BR/>It all felt too unreal...and forced..!<BR/>It just gave me a feeling that the loosers went one way and the winners the other..!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-1157608152088440352006-09-06T22:49:00.000-07:002006-09-06T22:49:00.000-07:00@to everyone above:my mental straying meant that y...@to everyone above:<BR/>my mental straying meant that you are thinking the possibility of having a relationship with the person. mental straying in my context doesn't mean having a crush or infactuation but is a serious contemplation.<BR/><BR/>@to the last anonymous - was the test successful?arati kadavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354931676761639178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-1157396170018566132006-09-04T11:56:00.000-07:002006-09-04T11:56:00.000-07:00testingtestingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-1157394269161366992006-09-04T11:24:00.000-07:002006-09-04T11:24:00.000-07:00agree with @commenter here .. its easy to lose tra...agree with @commenter here .. its easy to lose track of your thoughts and 'stray' mentally .. but to actually indulge in a physical act that too knowingly fully well that you are breaking someone's trust in you, is the bigger 'sin' .. controlling the mind is infinite time more difficult than controlling the body (and as @commenter said, the former preceds the latter), so should be given the benefit of doubt .. :-) ..kakkajeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063494832583174734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-1157069522883416502006-08-31T17:12:00.000-07:002006-08-31T17:12:00.000-07:00Straying happens at the mental level much before i...Straying happens at the mental level much before it happens at the physical level. So how is mentally straying a bigger deal than the physical one? Physical straying implies mental straying...<BR/><BR/>True love can forgive and accept. True love is unconditional. Faith and trust in marriage are not imposed on the married individuals... they gradually build up through every day interactions and through moments of sharing thoughts and feelings whole-heartedly with each other.<BR/><BR/>Being career-minded is nowadays used as an excuse for every thing imaginable, from not having time to meet friends,relatives to Preity & SRK not having time for each other. At some point, one needs to think of life beyond a career.. be it a man or a woman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-1156922092969972452006-08-30T00:14:00.000-07:002006-08-30T00:14:00.000-07:00Hey, your last para is very interesting and the ki...Hey, your last para is very interesting and the kind of conflict I have been facing these days: Society minded mentality of most desis and a relativistic attitude (whether I am happy) of most amrus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-1156718923899551862006-08-27T15:48:00.000-07:002006-08-27T15:48:00.000-07:00@skylar: I personally feel that mentally straying ...@skylar: I personally feel that mentally straying is a bigger deal than physically straying. Honestly if I get married and my husband strays physically then I would understand but if he falls in love with someone then it will be difficult for me to continue in the relationship.<BR/>I do agree here any straying was not justified and as one of my friends said that gay people are known to be more sensitive but KJ lost it.arati kadavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354931676761639178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-1156622554638750162006-08-26T13:02:00.000-07:002006-08-26T13:02:00.000-07:00I checked out the movie with a "crazy" little-AB f...I checked out the movie with a "crazy" little-AB fan, and "that" in itself was total time-pass :D<BR/><BR/>A couple of things that disturbed me were.....<BR/><BR/>1. The characters did not have a real good reason to leave their marriages. For a movie that was 3.5 hours long, KJ could have easily taken some time to establish why Shah Rukh wanted to leave Preity and like-wise Rani and AB. <BR/><BR/>2. Infidelity: One of India's greatest strengths is the respect for "family" values. While I don't feel one way or the other about pre-marital sex, I think extra-marital sex is kinda bad. Shah Rukh "always" represented a larger than life character for me - I have'nt seen a lotta Shah Rukh since the Kuch-Kuch days, and was totally disappointed with Shah and Rani doing that thing even while they were still married (not to each other) :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-1156609091742610262006-08-26T09:18:00.000-07:002006-08-26T09:18:00.000-07:00Well I do agree on that .the lost song almost made...Well I do agree on that .the lost song almost made me crig on my seat ...but I am a big AB (lttle AB more ;)) fan so I guess that kept me goingarati kadavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354931676761639178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33075997.post-1156598758306048092006-08-26T06:25:00.000-07:002006-08-26T06:25:00.000-07:00The main problem with film, IMHO, KJo-ish larger t...The main problem with film, IMHO, KJo-ish larger than life setup. Huge sets, gawdy lights and trunks of makeup doesn't let you focus on the characters or movie. If you want to make a movie character/story centric, focus on them, don't distract spectators too much. Performance-wise only Bacchans shine (Little AB more of it). Rani Mukherjee - too tired. Preity Zinta - too pale. SRK - too SRK.
