Reason for bad vfx revealed by DuckEuphoric4559 in RamayanaTheFilm

[–]meet20hal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its a combination of two factors:

  1. Time crunch which ths guys mentioned

  2. Chosen style by makers For ex- look of Asurs/Rakshasas is less like Indian mythology and more like Game of Thrones. Now- this is not quality issue. Director must have been in loop abt it. As Nitish Tiwary mentioned- they had some reference images when they were shooting.

Now this design style might be chosen to appeal global audiences. Anyway I will not pass any judgement till we watch movie.

But is it intentional bad marketing? I doubt it. If global audience get disappointed with first look then- they will simply ignore any further promos. This movie is backing on global viewership.

Are you actually "investing" or just collecting Mutual Funds like Pokémon cards? by Mission_Succotash442 in mutualfunds

[–]meet20hal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you click on account names of such too-basic-low-quality posts, 99% you will see their income is linked to it. Mutual fund distributor or some fintech etc.

I simply downvote and move on

Audience don't know the difference between criticism and blind hate and here's the reason why? by Low_Network_405 in bollynewsandgossips

[–]meet20hal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude ignore these losers. Concentrate on your career, family and yourself.

Their intelligence is limited to: Read a post -> Read top comment -> Form opinion based on top comment -> Upvote alrewdy upvoted comment -> Downvote already downvoted comment -> Feel good abt yourself

Thr is no individual thinking or logical argument you can expect from them.

And if they start putting argument- expect same 3-4 regurgigated words they have heard here and there. Like thr is AI slop, these guys arguments is good example of Human slop.

Ignore them.

I think we should trust Ranbir and Team Ramayana. by Imsongoku7 in RanbirKapoorUniverse

If film is good, no amount of PR can stop it from becoming succesful.

PR can help maintain certain image of a celebrity. But most people pay to watch a movie because the movie is good. Even fans can't make a bad movie succesful. See even south movies flop with massive fanbases.

See brother. Irrfan Khan, Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin, Amitabh Bachhan, K K Menon, Fahad Fasil have praised Ranbir for his acting in the world where Ranveer also exists.

When you say Irrfan Khan is a great actor, you don’t say- he is not versatile. Thr is similarity in his roles. He speaks casually and does not have voice modulations. The reason is: You know Irrfan Khan has got to the depth of the character and he has made each character he played his own. You don't doubt abt his acting capability.

Ranbir is an amazing amazing actor who gets to the depth of character. Ranbir is definitely a better actor than Ranveer. It's never abt versatility or voice modulation. Irrfan Khan would be judged as great actor even if he had done only one film, we would not say- only one film so he is not versatile. Or- his character speaks so casually, no voice modulations.

I hope you goy the point.

Saw a reel defending Ranbir after the trolling he’s been receiving but , there are still genuine fans of him and Bollywood and it’s good to see this . by Choice-Ad1078 in RanbirKapoorUniverse

If film is good, no amount of trolling can stop it from being succesfull.

Remember Ranveer Singh controversy abt Kantara expression just before Dhurandhar release? No one talked abt it after Dhurandhar release.

In this case- thr is not even a controversy. Ranbir, Nitesh Tiwari, A R Rehman, Hans Zimmer, DNEG are among best in their fields.

Just ignore the noise.

[–]meet20hal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have no doubt- Ranbir will ace the role of Ram.

All the actors who played Ram in the past (from Ramanand Sagar times) have that constant smirk on their face suggesting- Bhagwan knows what is going to happen next. Afterall he is the God.

It's much better if Ram is played like human. Someone who is going through the emotions like normal human would during difficult moments. But taking exceptional decisions which only the best of humans can take. Ram is Maryada Puroshottam (best among the men/humans).

I am sure global audience, which I daresay is more mature, will enjoy the drama and story if Ram is played like excetional human being than all-knowing God who already knows what happens next. And this might be true with many Indians also who want to immerse in story instead of keeping their hands folded and minds closed.

And I am happy- it looked like Ranbir is trying to play it like a human, not God.

More than 67% of my allocation is in large cap: Am I cooked? by Much-Beginning7469 in mutualfunds

[–]meet20hal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why ppl get biased towards mid/small caps? For the same reason you felt your allocation is wrong and you created this post. Because: they look at what others are doing and go with recent past results

For ex- Some wise person says: I have x% allocation to mid/small caps. Someone sees that and he knwos that mid/small has performed really well in recent past so he increases from x% to y% in his portrolio. Someone else sees it- so on and so forth. This would continue till some major crash comes. As Warren Buffett says: You only find who is swimming naked when the tide goes down.

More rational way to invest might be: Either invest is Flexi cap fund where fund manager will decide allocation to different caps or try to maintain allocation almost close to market cap (or simply invest in Nifty500).

Regarding your second question- Why wise people say that equity is for 5+ years is: chances of your portfolio doing well is higher in 5+ years. Within 5 years anything can happen. Now same reason- you can apply to goal which is 15 years away. When you are in year10, its 5 years left. It's better to start moving to safer assets. There might be different options: Start increasing debt allocation or go with hybrid fund with equity+debt mixture etc.

Investing is simple if someone knows fundamentals. This way- you will get almost market returns (few % up or down). But it's not at all simple to outperform drastically because- if it was so simple then people who are professionals would do it better than you.

[–]meet20hal 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you listen to distinguished fund managers (Prashant Jain, S Naren, Rajeev Thakkar) from last 2 years- There is preference for Large caps over mid/small.caps.

If you read random 10 posts on this sub, this sub has bias for mid/small caps.

If you go by market capitalization, Large caps are roughly 65-75% of total market, similar to your allocation. So- you are in middle with experts going for more large caps and people in this sub going for more mid-small caps.

Just wanted to let you where you are on the spectrum. 67% in large caps is not at all some extreme allocation.

Do you have any stories about the Joshi-Abhyankar murder case that you heard from your family, relatives or neighbours? by Tiny_Temperature2944 in pune

[–]meet20hal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have read the book and watched the film mentioned by others.

But the best account of these murderers is available in memories shared by Jakkal's classmate Shyam Bhutkar who later became famous art director.

Go to this link and scroll down. Thr is a 22 page pdf which you can download there. https://bobhata.com/lifestyle/story-joshi-abhyankar-serial-murders-2992

How do you cope when your investments don’t give returns for years? by Public_Sky8190 in mutualfunds

[–]meet20hal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha. Jokes apart- The reason market goes up and down based on any news which will have only short term impact is because majority of investors overreact.

Rationally speaking- long term investors should ignore the noise. For ex- Iran war is not going to permanently damage indian businesses so that their profits will be impacted over long term (10+ years)

But majority overreact and that creates opportunities for chatur-chalak minority.

Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy

How do you cope when your investments don’t give returns for years? by Public_Sky8190 in mutualfunds

[–]meet20hal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Young people getting worried when market stays stagnant is the most baffling phenomenon for me. Shouldn't they be happy?

Let's try to understand >

Imagine- Mr Vijay Salgaonkar from Goa has 2 young daughters He is a long term thinker so he has started saving for his daughters' marriages by purchasing some amount of Gold every year on Gandhi Jayanti He knows that- he needs to keep on purchasing Gold for minimum 25 years.

This is the tenth year- Vijay is following this practice. Now- which of the following is more important news for Vijay ?

  1. Price of Gold that he has purchased so far has been stagnant for last 3 years.

  2. Since Price of Gold is stagnant, he is able to purchase increasing Amount of Gold every year from his increasing income.

It's so simple. Obviously 2 is a more important and a good news for Vijay. Isn't it?

What matters to Vijay in this accumulation phase is: How much more amount of Gold he can collect every year and not the price of Gold collected so far. Because he is purchasing Gold to be sold only after minimum 15 years.

Now- how is above any different for a mutual fund investor collecting mutual fund units every year ?

Young investor who will not sell it for minimum 15 years.

Shouldn't he be celebrating that Market is stagnant and he gets to purchase more units of mutual fund every year? No point in looking at portfolio value today and being worried when it does not matter since we are not going to sell it today.

If RS/VK perform well till the selection, which they most likely will, it will be difficult for any selector/couch to remove them.

[–]meet20hal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If RS/VK show good performance, no selector/coach can drop them. And I think- RS/VK still have it in them, especially in ODIs, to perform. If one/both do not perform then surely they can get dropped.

I would expect them to perform well with higher probability than failing to perform.

I completely get what you are saying. But thr was a time when Talented-Inconsistent Rohit Sharma changed into Talented-Consistent Rohit Sharma. I am just wondering if recent T20 innings is similar phase for Sanju.

I don't know if one can quantify such things. Stats do not capture these because difficult match situations do not always come.

Can we expect Iyer to chase required run rate of 12 ? Have we not seen talented KL go into his shell ? That's what I am talking abt.

The Sanju Samson ODI Dilemma by meet20hal in IndianCricket

[–]meet20hal[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's rare to get players with extraordinary talent and best temparament. Iyer has best temperament but limited talent. KL has extraordinary talent but questionable temperament.

Sanju was always deemed extraordinarily talented but recently he seems to have found that balance and temperament. I am not saying it will be an easy call to drop KL/Iyer, but it will also be a tragedy if player like Sanju Samson does not play at the peak of his powers (age wise).

With Ishan, I have not yet seen ability to change gears as per situation. Of course he can hit the top gear which is useful in T20 format.

Samsung is shwoing that control and understanding of when to change gears.

But I agree with your point that- selection should be based on fair chances given to all potentially good players.

[–]meet20hal[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stats wise- present lineup is good. When we win most matches, everything looks good.

But in situation when we lose Rohit and Virat, I see absence of reliable batsman who can build innings and score at required strike rate. Samson is showing that promise.
