Where is Nagesh Kukunoor

He just disappeared ? He used to make good movies and then suddenly disappeared from the scene.

His Hyderabad Blues is still a very good movie.

Nagesh Kukunoor's new movie Lakshmi's release has been postponed indefinitely following censor board's refusal to grant a certification.

But now it seems Kukunoor will have to wait, thanks to the Central Board of Film Certification(CBFC) which found certain scenes objectionable when the film was shown to them last November and passed the film to the revising committee. But even after three weeks Kukunoor has not been able to get a slot from the committee to screen his film.

Nagesh, who is currently in California, told Mirror, "There is a constant shuffle of officials in the censor board right now. My film is up for release and CBFC has no time to see it."

He will be back in the city in a few days and in no mood to compromise on the content. The essence of the film is the truth which needs to be told. I will take up this case as soon as I reach India," said the filmmaker.

His first film, Hyderabad Blues, too had a rough ride with the censors. "They had asked for 91 cuts but eventually the tribunal okayed the film with just three audio beeps," Nagesh recollects.

On the subject of Lakshmi, the censors first raised concern when the trailer of the film was released in October. "They had a problem with a line 'machine mei tel daal, factory kholna hai.' Their objection left me scratching my head," says a bemused Kukunoor.

Bollywood's worst movies of all time - RGV Ki Aag, Prem Aggan and Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahaani

The success of a movie mostly depends on having a healthy mix of the right ingredients required to make a good movie. The heart of the movie is its story, the soul is its music, the brain is the director, the actor and crew represent the bones, muscles, clothes etc that make the body work and look good. Not all ingredients are equal and sometimes even one dominating feature like a superstar or great music is enough to get fans hooked to the film and make it a success. There are also times when you have great ingredients but the audience may not be ready to appreciate the taste yet. Such movies stumble at the start but over time manage to catch up and become cult classics. Then there are movies which are made just for the sake of making movies and some money. They hit the silver screen without any expectations and usually fade away silently into the night. Very few become those rare sleeper hits which come out of the blue when the ingredients are good but not famous yet. And finally there are those mind boggling duds with all the right ingredients that fans eagerly look forward to but somehow when put together they become a painful experience that leaves its audience scarred for life. Here is my first set of reviews of some of the most highly anticipated movies, which appeared to have everything required to make them shine but the stink of their underwhelming quality will haunt us forever.

Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag - A remake of one of India’s greatest entertainers β€œSholay” with the original's lead Big B cast to play the Iconic villain β€œGabbar (Babban) Singh” in an epic showdown against Mohanlal, one of South India’s finest actors of all time and directed by one of the pioneers of New Age Indian Cinema, the hitmaker behind β€œShiva”, β€œRangeela”, β€œSatya”, β€œKaun”, β€œCompany”, β€œBhoot” and β€œSarkar”. What could possibly go wrong? The answer - Everything. Not only was it a β€œNuclear Bomb” at the box office that absolutely obliterated Bollywood’s greatest film, but one of the worst reviewed movies of all time with an IMDB rating of 1.6/10 and 9% on rotten tomatoes. It was awarded β€œLifetime’s worst ever movie” by Hindustan Times and even British magazine β€œTotal Film” included it (The only Indian movie) in the worst movies of all time across the globe. Big B eventually acknowledged remaking Sholay was a mistake. My view on the debacle known as RGV Ki Aag is the butchering of its heart - the story. β€œSholay” was a beautifully written story with so many well rounded cha

Akshay is just hot air says Shailendra Singh Of Percept!

Shailendra Singh, producer of the National Award-winning Kanchivaram, tears into starry hype and starry fees.

https://preview.redd.it/98sk5lz7cn351.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=868bf3f805d85cbb8ecfa526392115ee5220ade4

The common belief is that since all you get is the first weekend, in multiplex cinema, you have to make a movie with stars to get the audiences.

  • I don't think so. I think the star who has the most false packaging is Akshay Kumar. He's my best friend, but I'm saying it on record. It was my biggest mistake, Jaaneman, with Akshay and Salman, got a 22 per cent opening. There was no reason for that. It was well-shot, great music, the works. The star doesn't get the opening. The consumer has matured to the point where he knows what content he has an appetite for. Akshay doesn't get an opening. Tasveer 8x10 was fine. I got a 12 per cent opening. Akshay doesn't have a fan following. It's all media-created. They can get written about, but they can't get people to watch their films. After Kanchivaram's success, I believe in content. Akshay without content is nothing, just hot air.

Has Kambakkht Ishq proved it?

  • Everything is proving it. He just surrounds himself with talent. When he succeeds, he says it's him, when he doesn't, he blames it on his support cast. His first movie with Katrina didn't run for a day. He doesn't have the aura. Aamir has it, Shah Rukh has it, he doesn't.

And Salman?

  • No. He's lost his equity over the years. But he's fun, he's my best friend, I love him, and he's in, he has a blast, he doesn't care. I think his fans also believe in that, and they live his lifestyle more than his cinema.

Was Nagesh (Kukunoor) a factor in the failure of 8x10?

  • No. He's making brilliant films for me... Aashayein, Yeh Honsla, and he was super in Dor, in Iqbal. He also has his space. But he also trusted Akshay. It's happened before with another director, Madhur (Bhandarkar) made a film called Aan Men At Work with Akshay. That flopped too. The media gives Akshay the license to remain A-list when the ROI (return on investment) doesn't permit that.

What do you think of Aamir and Shah Rukh's films?

  • They make their mistakes too, but their success is greater than their mistakes. They don't cheat the customer. Akshay is a buddy, he'll kill me for this, but there it is. There's something called the right price. You have a cup of tea at a five-star for 400 bucks because of the ambient music and the surroundings, but the c

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
