Tuesday, 24th Mar 2015, 12:24PM IST After reading Sajid Khan’s column “Truth is stranger than fiction...” in a newspaper, we can surely ignore the fact that he is the director of a some not so great films like ‘Humshakals’ before he directed hattrick of blockbusters. The director has written a really good column which is an eye opener and wakes everyone up and shows us the truth. Well, he is from the Entertainment Industry, so his article also revolves entertainment. He has tackled three issues in his column – 1) Twitter 2) National Anthem in cinemas 3) Anti-smoking ad. For the first point Twitter, he has given an example of Chunky Pandey, who was happy that he had 350 followers. But, when he realized his fake account had 3500 followers, he was surprised! So, Sajid says tongue-in-cheek that instead of tweeting, Chunky should text his 350 followers. In his second point about National Anthem in cinemas, Sajid has revealed that the National Anthem is not being played in all the cinemas in the country, but only in a few states. He has raised a question whether this means that not every state in the country is patriotic. He has also pointed out that half of the people are just standing and doing their own work like fidgeting with phones, eating samosas, etc.
And the final point Sajid makes will surely make Anurag Kashyap very happy. Well, it’s about the anti-smoking ad which is showcased before every movie. Sajid has pointed out that a research proves that more people across the globe died of obesity leading to heart failure than lung cancer. So, the director has questioned that shouldn’t there be anti-cheese, anti-sugar, anti-cooking oil and anti-butter ads before the film? He has ended with a sensible taunt to the government. He has stated, “Well, the truth is that going to the movies is not as entertaining as it used to be, but the fact is that entertainment (tax) has truly become the government's business!” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’s first Box Office mobile app from here –Android: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS: bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
