Hollywood vs Bollywood

Credit for this gif goes to my twitter friend Ruchin.

All this time, I was expecting people to ignore my other post and start comparing Ra.One to Hollywood superhero flicks but it wasn't partially the case! Instead, we all have now seen comparison of Bollywood critics and Hollywood critics. And also Indian audience and global audience of Ra.One.

A handful...hmm, no...a couple of pinches of Bollywood critics appreciated this praiseworthy movie called Ra.One while about 75% of others bashed it as if there is no tomorrow. On the other hand, critics from Hollywood unexpectedly are giving this movie a thumbs up. What the heck went wrong here?

5 reasons I believe Bollywood critics and audience are messed up:

1. Must have mixed up Ra.One and the two other releases while REVIEWING each of them.
2. I have seen people get drunk on Diwali, maybe too much desi daru for them.
3. Did not understand the movie at all. Hey, only a few people in this world have the guts to admit that they are dumb.
4. Wanted a documentary film on how to make video games and medicine label like warnings of what wrong can happen if programming goes wrong.
5. No heart or desire to wish to see Bollywood improve, in plain words, they are Bollywood's ill wishers.

5 reasons why I believe Hollywood critics and global audience liked the movie:

1. Fact is, this movie is better than most superhero movies made in Hollywood.
2. They don't hold any grudges against Bollywood. Like I said in my comparisons' post that Hollywood never says "Hey you copied us!!"
3. There is no Aamir/Salman in Hollywood to pay critics to trash Ra.One.
4. Tired of crappy remakes, bold anti-Indian cultural and "imaginative" movies.
5. Have the heart to appreciate this noble and honest attempt at a new alien genre.


Well, Ra.One is being loved by most and proof is the cash registers at theaters are ringing without any stopping. After all SRK fans' prayers and love was supposed to win just like the good defeats the evil.

Haters...feel that guiltiness yet? A heavy heart? Do you have shameful eyes yet? No? Okay, continue to hate although you failed. There is another bomb waiting for you on December 23rd which will blast right under your main part if you have one that is. May Allah grant you wisdom and ease your ego a bit because my darling, it's turning you into a ultimate LOSER.
