Why cant bollywood try to attempt something like that,why si there so much focus on these things rather than a good script and well etched characters that are written esp for the actors like they do in hollywood .
WHo said there is a dearth of good scripts😆..If you have read the dhoom 2 preview,its one helluva script,but fat plump people wouldnt fit into that movie😳...There are so many genres,and one such genre is the"chic flick" genre,where the script demands the actors to look GOOD,to look glamourous....That's how the industry works,one would also question"why does looks matter at all"...but the axiomatic fact is that,in the entertainment industry,looks does matter..Its not the ONLY factor,but its one of the factors that an actress needs to have......even priety zinta says that looks is very important for an actress(Yes,I used the word actress..couldnt care less what PZ wants to prove by calling herself an actor),so does Hrithik Roshan,who infact admits that looking good doesnt come that easy,maintaining good looks demands for great hard work
RAni was great in black,but lets for once be practical...Albeit rani was topflight in black(which again,I think was an overrated performance),her character didnt demand her to wear short clothes...Thus its allright for her to be a bit plump,but a character like sunehri of dhoom demanded ash to lose weight..Its all depends on the character....and I think you're overrating hollywood...Agreed great movies are made,but quite a few of the movies churned out is crap....Not all hollywood movies are good,same with bollywood😃........Good movies are definitely being made, a ka lage raho munna bhai(havent watched it yet,but I believe its a wonderful movie),
I know thats how it is in bollwood but is that right is the question . Ash may be dancing away gloriously in her perfect body stats but for me acting only matters ,I dont care whether she looks glamourous or not. Rani mukherjee was anything but glamourous IN BLACK and she did it and it was successful , now tell me Mona could have donme that role too unfortunately she isnt a big star in bollywood .
Mona's a great actress,but cant surely be bracketed with the likes of RAni Mukherjee.😃...RAni's a class apart,compared to all these telly stars...Just my opinion..and how many movies liek black is being made...We have just one black ,even Rani doesnt get another black,she retrogrsses back to the bunty babli,KANK,Baabul etc....Its sad that movies like black arent being made too often,but can anyone of us help it....and rani too didnt clinch BLACK all that easily,she had to prove herself in bollywood for 7 years,before she got a black....initially to have an edge,looks does matter,and then one can clinb the ladder to become a legend..a la Madhuri Dixit..she started with crappy movies,and her first hit Tehzeeb wasnt a character oriented movie,her ek do theen number catapulted her into the limelight...thus even all time greats heroines have struggled,and have done glamour/masala movies before becomming the numero uno actress....Thus looks does matter,atleast for the initial break..HAd madhuri been overweight,she wouldnt have gotten her first break,thus we would have lost out on a legend..Ditto with priyanka chopra(allthough she's no legend)...She needed to look like a model for Aitraaz,and this movie put her in a totally different league alltogether😛
Cant blame the film guys if the society itself defines it in that way . Its a pity and I am glad that this doesnt happen in south indian movies
the days of khushboo are over...Even south indian heroines are thin..genelia,Trisha,etc are all quite thin...and even in Kanada and malayalam movies,these days,the leading ladies are not obese or overweight.....It was only jyotika who was fat,all others are normal weight😃..and jyotika's case was one of sheer luck,and another thing is that the south audience like the healthier women,thus heroines who move from the north are heavily padded up🤢...The tastes of the south audience isnt the same as the one of the rest of indians...Even in the 80's,the bollywood heroines were much thinner than the south indian heroines like jayalalita......
otherwise we wouldnt have found the best actor/actresses in the industry .Thank god for that
Hrithik has a great body,he's one of the finest actors...ABhishek is proper weight,and he's the next superstar in the making,Aamir Khan is very cute,and he is one of the best actors in india.....Hema Malini,Rekha,Madhuri were good looking actresses,whose weight was proper(they werent overweight)..Rani isnt overweight(she's thinner than mona),and besides rani was a star kid...and star kids find it easier to get that initial break.....SRk,albeit not great looking made it big,But everyone cant be SRK😃....
.Why cant there be a love story with a plus sized woman,is that wrong or doest it happen in society ? why cant romantic drama movies with overweight women been made, is that wrong or doesnt it happen in real life ........whats wrong with it
because those movies would become like documentaries,and not everyone would watch the movies..movies are made for money,and the producers would only cater to the audiences preferences,and its a fact that not everyone want to watch documentaries
u can pick out just 3 movies that have been so see thats what i am talking about , thats why good movies in bollwood with good author backed roles are not being made and its a sad state.
No,there were more......RDB,Fanaa,Krrish(it was a decent movie,not masterpiece,but was good nevertheless),Omkara(even here bipasha had to dance,and she was toned),TAxi 9211,GAngster(Kangana is brilliant..and added to that is her figure...KAngana was choses because of her beauty,but she has roven to be one hell of an actress...Who would have taken kangana in WOh LAmhe and gangster had she looked fat or overweigght...and thus we would have lost a genuinely good actress),woh lamhe,Lage raho Munna bhai,Phir hera pheri,corporate(again Bips was thin...Madhur didnt go for a fat looking female to play the role of nishi),khosla ka ghosla,The upcomming Umrao Jaan,Guru(bth promising to be good movies)Baabul...see,these all are good movies,with good scripts,and all have top bollywood actors,who are also great lookers😃
