Here are some quotes i couldnt stop gasping as i read

I laughed at this line: Shahrukh’s Name Matched With The Names In The Terrorist List ?

For once!!!! Something intelligent from Salman: “It is not such a big deal, when we go there we too have to go through the security check. There has been no attacks there since 9/11 because of their stringent security measures. I think it is a good thing (the security).”

Talk about smart ass lines from Farah Khan: “It is shocking that there is not a single Indian working at that US airport and that they don`t know Shah Rukh Khan who is one of the biggest stars of the world. (what was she thinking, some dude is gonna go over to the secuurity and vouch for Shah Rukh and bring over an Om Shanti Om DVD to watch where he’s dancing about with his 6 abs and a bunch of blondies, having water thrown at him and him touching himself???)

Major sucking up, coming from Priyanka’s twitter: Shocking,disturbing n downright disgraceful.Its such behavior that fuels hatred n racism.SRK’s a world figure for Gods sake.GET REAL!! (world figure????????? so the Ethiopians and Timbuktoos know him too?? What is he? God????)

From the King Khan himself: The incident that has left him deeply saddened, Shah Rukh said, “I am devoid; it hurts your self respect. I don’t want to make an ego issue out of it (understatement of the year, i dont want to make an ego issue out of it!)

SRK is not a world figure.

As we said the other day, if ‘King Khan’ walked down Lexington Ave in Manhattan the only folks to recognize him would be the South Asian cabbies and the desi diners at Curry in a Hurry at intersection of Lexington and 28th St.

When you folks stop slaughtering Muslims in India (in Gujarat and elsewhere), you can lecture us.

In the meantime, please read this: Wonderful News, America Hater Shahrukh Khan Stopped at Newark Airport

SearchIndia.com Responds:

You write above: why have you written

not the Mumbai rag Times of India

The Times of India was an OK paper but has been deteriorating steadily over the last few decades due to inept editors at the top and dumb reporters and copy editors at the bottom.

That said, the Times of India is still much better than other rags like Hindu, Deccan Herald or the Indian Express.

BTW, in the Newseum (a museum on newspapers in Arlington, just outside Washington DC), the Times of India was the only Indian newspaper we remember seeing on the walls.

You write above: He say “he don’t like” a country.

What do you think it means…that he loves our country

Review ‘Funny Games’ please, it’s got Naomi Watts in it. It’s a remake of a German flick.

Will do. Might take some time though…we have a long list to work through.

Currently watching Lions for Lambs (Robert Redford, Tom Cruise & Meryl Streep).

On Rab ne bana di jodi (RNBDJ):

Positives:

1. There is not as much hype as was the case with the previous SRK movie Om Shanti Om, a rather shitty movie.
This lack of hype may actually work for the movie.

2. RNBDJ has a new female Anushka Sharma, who looks rather fetching. If she can do a Deepika Padukone,
well…

3. Watch out for Vinay Pathak (Bheja Fry, Manorama Six Feet Under, Johny Gaddar). This guy has been good consistently.

What may not work:

1. The storyline, is so-so, as you might have figured out by now, from various reports etc.

2. The music is not so great (in fact very mediocre).

3. Not sure how SRK will turn out in the role of a middle-class middle-aged husband.

4. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the happenings in Mumbai may have a huge impact on this movie, and those releasing in near future. People will be more wary of crowded places, and this may see a much lesser turnout.

It was reported that Aamir Khan was keen to release Ghajini along with RNBDJ, so that the issue of Bollywood ka Baadshah (numero uno of Bollywood, that SRK so often proclaims himself to be, much to the chagrin of AK) can be settled once for all.
Had this been the case, RNBDJ would have suffered much more.
However, that face-off has been averted now, since Ghajini is releasing on Dec. 25.
This may give some breathing time for RNBDJ.

Only time will tell.

Anushka is also from Bangalore (Deepika Padukone’s home town). We remember seeing another Anushka from Bangalore in a Tamil movie called Rendu.

Looks it’s the turn of Bangalore Belles in Bollywood now.

What’s the buzz in India on Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi?

I’ve heard him say in an interview that he does not like visiting America as he finds it dull, gloomy and unfriendly, and that it is portrayed as much “warmer” than it really is in the movies.

And I agree.

SearchIndia.com Responds:

That’s baloney.

In the interview with The Times (of London not the Mumbai rag Times of India), Shah Rukh Khan never really clarifies why he hates America. But he did bluntly say: I don’t like America.

As we’ve said before, one possible explanation for SRK’s hatred of America is because of U.S. foreign policy, which is wrongly perceived as anti-Islam.

But Muslims are treated with deep suspicion in SRK’s country India too and more so now after the Mumbai attacks.
