Actor Aamir Khan's severe criticism of Amitabh Bachchan's Black caused a rift between the two. Aamir said in an interview, "I didn’t like the film. I found it very insensitive, it sends out very wrong signals. It was extremely manipulative. I could see the effort in the manipulation, and the art of the director is in not letting you see the manipulation. The sensibility wasn’t right for me, I couldn’t make out if they were living in a house or a museum or a library or a church. The performances were over the top." He further said, "Black reminded me of The Taming Of The Shrew, and I found that very disturbing. It was a film about ‘I can teach a bear how to dance.’" Extremely upset, Big B reacted strongly, "I failed to understand how a polio affected person can bowl as shown in Lagaan and the insensitivity shown towards a blind girl played by Kajol in Fanaa. |

Even Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire was up for some criticism and most prominent among all was from Amitabh Bachchan who wrote on his blog, "If Slumdog... projects India as a Third World dirty underbelly developing nation and causes pain and disgust among nationalists and patriots, let it be known that a murky under belly exists and thrives even in the most developed nations. It’s just that the Slumdog... idea, authored by an Indian and conceived and cinematically put together by a Westerner, gets global recognition. The other would perhaps not." Later on, Big B took a u-turn. |

Another star who criticised Slumdog Millionaire was actress Shilpa Shetty. She said, "Obviously, it’s about the slums. I just feel that internationally recognised films focus more on our slums and poverty. So I just wrote on my blog two days ago that for a change I’m doing a film that focuses on the beauty of India and its culture. That’ll be interesting to watch as well." |
