The movie Lagaan is just bulls_hit. Amongst Aamir flops, I will rate this on top. I carry very high opinion about Aamir Khan as an actor. But Mr. perfectionist (Aamir) has been just direction less, perfection less in this movie. Only the stupid Indian audience and the more stupid media can make such flops a success. The game of cricket has been made to look very cheap in this movie. Cricket could have been shown in much more decent ground and with much better players and in more professional way. You can not expect Mochi, Nai, Dhobi, Bhikhari etc., (Cobbler, Hair Cutter, Washerman, Beggar etc.,) to become cricketers in 3 months and beat the whites. It is just not realistic. The selection of story line, the location, the farmer actors have just been mediocre and non-sense. But what to do. In India we have the majority of the movie going audience who are brainless and instead with full of s_hit in their heads. And the movie makers clearly exploit these thoughtless brains. Our audience just do not understand what is a good movie and what is a bad movie. Most of the times they make a flop movie a hit and a hit movie a flop. And to do this the makers also do intelligent publicity. Internet is further supporting the cause of a flop movie being made a hit. sify.com, indya.com, rediff.com etc., have no other business but to do this kind of cheap publicity. I wonder these portals must be paid handsomely by these movie makers. And this is just what Aamir seems to have done for his Lagaan. The way media and web portals have been harping in praise of Lagaan is a clear indication of movie makers using intelligent publicity and exploiting the masses. For the last 10 years, I have been always waiting for some movies to be announced as flops as on many occasions I have found that the movies which the Indian audience claims as flops turn out to be excellent movies. And some movies that are termed as super duper hits by the audience and media, turn out to be just disasters. Talking once again about Lagaan, Aamir seems to have shown the gully cricket (street cricket) in the movie. None can justify where the bloody 25 crores of rupees went. Certainly in publicity. As the movie that has to be amongst the list of worst flops of all times has strangely found the place amongst the list of 6 all time hits. Our stupid people who can make lord Ganesha drink the milk can do anything. It is nothing but the Bhed Chaal (Sheep Walk). When 100 stupid people talk good about some thing, then the 101th wise person doesn't dare to talk bad about that. As he fears others ridiculing him. And this then becomes the masses opinion and hysteria. Oh God ! when will you give brain to the people of this country.
