Except best actress Vidya Balan..I dint like any nominations
I think this is bullshit. As a ciiitizalvon we need to grow up and realize that no one is perfect, and maybe now that we can see everyones imperfections en-mass, we should start embracing what we are.
Don2 is sureshot HIT after Failure of RA.OneSRK redemeed to some extent but he needs to come uo with some good quality films now ..Even though his next is a romantic film i hope its well made and goes on to be one heck of a romantic film in bwood.
sabu sir..sir i am a big fan of u.sir i like your working style and your experimental work..sir plz give me a chance.it,s a dreem for me.sir plz.god bless u sir.
I am a proud SRK fan and I don’t feel shame neither I hesitate to admit it that I am jealous of Salman Khan and his mega success these days.. he is enjoying his Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hai Kaun days again..or even better.. no actor has such good phase in their life.. even my SRK.. how suddenly Salman did all these magic.. no clue.. anyways my SRK will regain again.. if Salman can rebuild his career from so much controversy, personal issues, legal issues and media oppose, why Shahrukh can not???
i agree that ra-one is not a good movie but don-2 is a spectacular movie.best actor would be shahrukh khan for don-2 and best director would be farhan akhtar or rohit shetty.best music would be vishal and shekher for ra-one.best song would be chammak challo.this is full and final
Everything is ok sir, i think rockstar is far better in music than ready, i know ready had chrtbusters before release but still rockstar had the music of the year, and u were great to call rohit director of the year, he deserves it.
Some r good but that is discusting how did u give best movie it is znmd or rockstar
Komal sir, i had a great faith in you n thought u r the best analyst in india. But from few days back i have a doubt about that. I used to read reviews of yours only thinking u r best but i was wrong, day by day u r getting loyal towards salman. U said salman was best actor of 2011 in a recent article n now bodyguard the best film. Nowdays u r doing analysis in terms of b.o. collection not in terms of quality and u too know it. Try to be sincere and write what’s truth. I think u have onlx seen 1 film in 2011 i.e bodyguard n u forget to see other films. You are getting worthless n one day the faith people had in u will be totally over.
remind me world wide collections of ra one and don 2 couldn’t even touch bodyguard so f off
