Why on earth would a few cusswords give anyone a cold sweat? Okay, this is a truly awful review, but fine, the reviewer is entitled to his opinion about the film. What I don’t understand is this kind of statement:
A film set in Mumbai, with generous doses of Mumbaiya lingo, appeals more in Mumbai/Maharashtra than in Gujarat, Punjab, Bihar or Rajasthan. Similarly, the U.P. dialect, the setting, the ambience, even the expletives would find tremendous identification from U.P. and Bihar, not at other regions.
By that reasoning a film set in Australia would appeal more in Australia, a film set in New York would appeal more in the Big Apple, a film set in Canada would – flop? Wtf?
Uma at Indian Writing rightly fisks an awful review of Omkara. Yesterday night I amused myself reading answers to yet another stupid Rediff discussion message board question – are women offended by swear words in Omakara? Yeah, WTF!
