Patiala House - Wogma Readers Reviews

Patiala House

Akshay Kumar, Anushka Sharma Dir: Nikhil Advani
wogma rating: Watch when on TV (?)
quick review: The more number of non-engineers/CAs/MBAs/doctors I meet, the more I hear, "oh I did my engineering for my parents, but this is (films/writing/dancing) where my heart lies. We have had many movies that comment on our inept system and control-freak older generation, they usually become a tad too dark. Patiala House keeps the balance towards being light. But completely messes up the good, strong start that it gives itself by going the clichéd route.

UK Desi:

I don't see how a story on racism can turn into Jingoism unless you think white racists are actually RIGHT in attacking Indians (which would lead into the Pro-White Supremacist mentality) and let's not get into institutional racism that Indians faced in the UK (and probably still do)

@ligne laung da laskara is one of the ones i thought was ok.

@UK Desi Like Dhana dhan Goal. I don't understand how anyone is to win this fight against racism by calling British locals 'ye gore' or 'ye kaale' in a derogatory tone. The Indians living abroad that hate the locals so bad, shouldn't they come back to India? There is no racism against Indians here. Or are they then bothered by the blatant poverty, dust and all things not-so western? My point is them discriminating against us doesn't make us great or our use of derogatory language right.

NRIs giving out 'holier than thou' spiels while conveniently enjoying everything else about the country they live only sounds like misplaced patriotism - both in reality and in films

Jai:

Meetu it appears we are on the same page. Calling angrez "gorey" is definetly derogatory. Using an adjective such as gora as a noun to describe a "people" is never a nice thing. Why are these hindi films all painting the indian experience in the UK as being a surpressed oppreseed minority? i.e there was a film about a younng man unable to play for a football team because he was indian once too so he joined the ethnic exclusive indian team of southall. Indians are one the most sucesfull here. Racism exists, but not on the scale of the 70's even the 80's. do they (hindi film industry) even know of the experience of UK born desi people here? are they bothered about showing that? or they going to have indians from indian portray there idea of what they believe indian lives are like here? Whats the agenda? Once in in hindi films desi abroard were westernised namak harami types ie. roti kapda aur makaan. Now they are NRIs, poor NRIs under seige from the narrow minded "Gorey". Why Are we being told the other is against us? Who is really the narrow minded ones here?

Mansi:

the first few minutes completely set the mood.. but it drifts into the same monotonousness after a point!

And yes,
"It might not stay fresh for too long if she continues to play the same type of a role again and again, though."
have expressed the same on my blog...
