The man formerly known as the showman (he was stripped of his title after producing turkeys such as Yaadein, Kisna, Bombay to Bangkok, Black and White) is all set to release his magnum opus (well it does have a few big stars ' Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif) Yuvvraaj. One question if u are confident of your talent and your stars why the hell do you do this weird numerology thing? How the hell does one account for a spelling like Yuvvraaj. An extra V and an extra A. The V is guess would be for Victory (Vijay-bhava J ) but what is the A for? (****hole???)
Anyway, Subhash Ghai has had a horrible run at the BO and even movies he is involved with like Black and White and Bombay to Bangkok have bombed though one of them got critical acclaim (no no not Bombay to Bangkok, Nagesh, I meant Black and White). According to me Indian directors and artisted in general do not grow ' they stagnate. They don't read more, travel or study ' people, cultures, systems, countries ' they simply replicate the movies they make and end up getting a couple of successes and then when the audiences start getting tired of them their flops begin to pile up. Eventually after an eternity the financiers back out and they are left jobless.
In case of Subhash Ghai ' he is a big daddy and so had lots of moolah stashed away from his successful years ' the list is long ' Vishwanath, Karz, Karma, Sudagar (yeeeks), Ram Lakhan and finally Pardes. So he manages to keep funding his next misadventure. If he was only dependant of financiers ' he would be jobless ages ago.
Now lets see if he has done nay better with Yuvvraaj or will this be his death wish.
