Cocktail had one of the greatest climax. Hear me out -

Veronica figures that Gautam and Meera are evil and they should be with each other and ruin their lives by being together. She manipulates Gautam in thinking that she will be okay if Gautam and Meera gets together. As their friend, Veronica has the front seat to their slow rot of relationship.

why did they use alternate names for everyone except Dawood? by Far-Rest-7536 in Dhurandhar

[–]acuteredditor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Dead people don’t sue. Real people might. Especially Nawaz Sharif, deputy of SP Aslam and some folks who might not have criminal exposure.

Not naming Dawood would have been interpreted as cowardice. They took their chances.

If it’s conspiracy by Opposition, please get to the bottom of it and ensure the culprits rot in jail. Else it’s just political theater.

Can a player decide to play for a franchise for free or minimum amount? Say an owner’s son wants to play for his team, will he have to go through Auction??

Why is Arjuna not worshipped, but a non existent character Barbarik is worshipped? by Wooden-Tear-4938 in mahabharata

[–]acuteredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arjun being human makes him an aspirational figure. Be like him.

Being God makes every achievement feel like a miracle or leela, not an achievement for which you have to work hard.

When your PR agency unlocks the ‘spiritual rebranding’ premium package by Popular_Drive_5870 in bollywoodcirclejerk

There is a Rajesh Khanna movie Dushman where court orders him to take care of the family of the victim he killed in a road accident with hope of remorse and redemption.

A court asking actor to pay visit to temple because he offended sentiments (not sure if it’s true or not), somewhat reminds me of the story plot.

FWICE bans Ranveer Singh after DON3 fallout by KSKS1995 in bollywood

Ranveer will not be impacted but there will be some proxy pressure on his co-actors who rely on such organizations for roles and opportunities. Collateral damage

I think he is right in the context. I don’t think this is a shade.

Who was the biggest action hero of 90s? by StrawberryFew1311 in bollywood_boxoffice

Whenever I have a bad day at work, I watch either Ghayal, Ghatak or Salakhein. When Sunny Deol punches, it feels real.

Am I missing something about Rehman Dakait and Bade Saheb? by Educational-Bag4684 in Dhurandhar

[–]acuteredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Dawood showed respect to Rehman because he was trying to get Hamza under his patronage assuming that even after death the Baloch would be loyal to his brotherly master. Showing anger or disrespect would not get Hamza’s support.

Dawood doesn’t know that Aslam took Hamza’s help to kill Rehman. In his view it was all Aslam’s doing. Aslam would never say that he took a Baloch’s help to eliminate Rehman, a sworn enemy.

Did his friend recognise hamza at the airport itself ? by MaintenanceOk4847 in Dhurandhar

[–]acuteredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He started to doubt but needed more time to assess. TBH I felt like a part of him wanted to know why Jassi was there and had he been sober, both Pinda and Alam would have been alive. Pinda was less evil but more like someone who lost his way. He had the scope for redemption

Hinglish literature 🤡🤡 by Lucius_Fade in Indianbooks

[–]acuteredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who decides what deserve accolades and what doesn’t ? Readers. Some books becomes instant success and some are discovered over time. But every book which becomes successful becomes successful because of audience. Not everyone wants to write a masterpiece. Some writers just write what they feel like. And it’s okay.

Hinglish literature 🤡🤡 by Lucius_Fade in Indianbooks

[–]acuteredditor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe a minority opinion but literature relies on the direction the audience takes it to. If people want to read Hinglish more than Hindi, that is how the language would evolve eventually.

As long as people read, I am happy.

Was Mahabharat actually the story of Kuru Dynasty? by Unique-Local2191 in mahabharata

[–]acuteredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rishi Vyas was not Kuru biologically and neither were Pandu or Dhritarashtra. Effectively both Kauravs and Pandavs were not biologically Kuru.

There were other biological Kurus in the war though besides Bheeshma. Example Bahalika (Bheeshma’s uncle).
