The Miserable Plight of Indian Cinema

Okay, I do not have a high regard for the stupid movies that we churn out. I think the movies that we create do not allow the average Indian male to wriggle free of repression that has haunted him since British era (these white men!).
Holy f**k we have stars whose only claim to fame is an item number! Now, we have a Kamal movie titled Mumbai Xpress, which I am sure sucks despite Singeetham Srinivasa rao, for Kamal is the Mahesh Bhat of the south. Yet, he does not deserve such shit by way of protests and stupid requests like change the English word 'express'. Are these people serious? We already suffer from bad quality. Do we need political nonsense too?

The agitators in Chennai want me to change the title. They don't want an English word in my film's title. But what about the fact that there are so many trains with the word 'express' in them? And should The Indian Express change its name to something more palatable to these so-called agitators? I was putting up a brave front but finally, I had to put my foot down.

Ha ha ha ha!

The censors asked me to cut that sequence because I called Mumbai a slum. They said it was because the two girls were so bare, it was unbearable.

Freak!

Apparently, Kamal had an emergency meeting with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and she assured him the film's release would not be hampered. "She told me that anyone indulging in protests against the film's title would be considered a menace to the law and order situation," says Kamal.

If I were a protestor I would be extremely careful. Never mess with Mummy.

"I thought that settled it. But now, they've started defacing my vinyl hoardings of Mumbai Xpress in Chennai and its outskirts. We lost about Rs 3 lakh worth of vinyl.

Tough luck Kamal. Tell you what, maybe you should not hype your dumb f**k movies so much. Lazy, easy! I am entitled for an opinion.

Now, I hear the leader of the 'Tamil Cheetah' group has issued a statement that my film's title is a non-issue. Delayed realisation," he says.

Who the f**k are Tamil Cheetahs now? Competition to the Tigers? Or are they the guardians of Tamilian culture, but clad in Levis and drinking Coke after a long hard day at the protest?
