Good review. I found the film quite revolting with their cheap references to body parts etc. Thanks for the link www.naatak.com
I'll check up their schedule and try to make their next showing. If indeed you find this film awful you must be a man with good tastes. So I think I'll try out www.naata...k.comRead More

After Border and Refugee, I was not too keen on seeing any war films. But after reading the review of LOC, decided to check it out. And I am not at all disappointed. It is certainly worth a watch. The subject of the film was a very worthy one. In fact I almost felt that the director did not do j...Read more

I dont see any social mesage in the film. If perhpas the author had shown eve-teasing etc. in a bad light then we can agree that he was trying to spread a social message. But instead this guy glorifies it.
I cant quite see where the social message is.

It is about time girls with good morals like you come out and speak up. Everybody justifies eve-teasing etc. by claiming girls enjoy it.
It is the films which is making degrading practices like eve-teasing, sexual molstation in public places etc. a big nuiscance.
I like the way Tamil Women ca...me out in protest against this nonesense. I heard Smt. Vasuki was planning a protest. Dont know if she carried it out. But good to see that Tamil people actually protested and made this film a flop.Read More

I dont quite agree that one should use American Channels as a bench mark. oK Americaan channels show sex so we can too is not a logical arguement.
My point is Taamil Cinema is mainstream culture. So the director should have gone through the Censor board.
Also in usa the law and order situati...on is very good. In eve teasing, sexual molestation etc. are all very common. To glorify such crass attitudes is uncalled for. Now I am not saying other TAMIL films are any better. baasically nowaadays I avoid TAMIL films alltogether. But since this guy has done so much advertisement and marketing he could influence the maasses more effectively. It this film haas to be more brutally condemned.
ANyways the film is a huge flop. So real boys like me can rest in peace.Read More

Come on.. Amitabh acting acting as a angry young man was not too bad. In a country like India there are a lot of angry young men. But showing scences like cutting fo the finger of your barber or just throwing out women from a moving car is quite disgusting. Hell I treat my garbage better than Amitab...h treats his woman in this film!
I dont have a problem with the three models winning in the end, but I have a problem with the way the way the three lunatics big medium and small miyas were potrayed. All these dark and sinister feelings should not be glorified, it can have an adverse effect on the viewers.

This seems to be the latest trend with Bollywood. I guess too much of money from the Underworld is flowing into Mumbaai and whaat we are seeing in the name of Cinema is nothing but the lifes of Underworld Dons . This really seems to be the trend in almost all films. If a person not acquanted with I...ndian culture sees a few Bollywood films he will come to the conclusion that Indam Men are are all Macho Maniacs with sexually perverted Chauvnistic egos and Indian women are all sluts and harlets.
I myself stick to Bharatnatyam concerts nowadays and avoid all Indian CinemaRead More

Sachin Tendulkar is considered a great hero by many. I was just showing he is no hero. He is a very average person. If he had never been born nothing would have changed in India.
It was that hero, saviour image I was trying to show was false. I agree it is the fault of the media and the common ma...sses and not eh cricketers. It is the common masses who read this web site so I thought I would write out some stuff against Sachin's so called greatness.
I still stick to my stand he is no great person or personality.Read More

Why do people resort to unparlimentary language? Is India a democratic counrty or what? If you disagree with I say please be polite to me. Unlike Gandhi I am not a Public figure. As for Suyog why cant you disprove even one thing in the review? For example I can show that Gandhi did not contribute to... India's freedom. Here is a quote from India's foremeost Historian B.C.Mujumdar. Consider the following lines from 'History of the Freedom Movement in India'(Volume III, pages 609 –10) by R.C. Majumdar, one of India's foremost historians. This work was suppressed by the Nehru Government of India an account of which is given in the appendix. The following lines is from a conversation between B.P. Chakravarti who was acting as Governor of West Bengal, and the then British Prime Minister Lord Clement Attlee who was on a visit to India. Chakravarti asked Attlee about the real grounds for granting independence to India. Specifically, his question was, when the Quit India movement lay in ruins years before 1947, where was the need for the British to leave in such a hurry. Attlee’s response is most illuminating and important for history. Here is the Governor’s account of what Attlee told him:
In reply Attlee cited several reasons, the most important were the activities of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose which weakened the very foundation of the attachment of the Indian land and naval forces to the British Government. Towards the end, I asked Lord Attlee about the extent to which the British decision to quit India was influenced by Gandhi’s activities. On hearing this question Attlee’s lips widened in a smile of disdain and he uttered, slowly, putting emphasis on each single letter — 'M-I-N-I-M-A-L.'
The pprime minister of Britian who signed India's independence is on record having said Gandhi contribution to the freedom struggle is MINIMAL. I could go on and on.

What about the soldiers who get killed maimed and tortured? It isok for you sit and have enjoy life, while some poor soldier gets his eyes gouged out. Why did the Indian Army not retaliate when the 16 Indian soldiers were sent home with their bodies and faces mutiliated. Just imagine what must have ...gone through the minds of the Mothers of a soldier who had given so much love and brought up the son to see the body with his eyes gouged out? I am suggesting a military take over. But when the Government provides such sub standard equipment, the army men Officers need to protest. The soldiers are the responsibility of the Military officers. If they keep quite it only means they are sending the Indian soldiers to face death so as to keep their jobs.
All I am suggesting is for the military to have more say in the purchase of military equipment and take military decisions. I am not saying they should take political decisions. Read More
