People came in and advertised themselves. Where is the NATION in it??<br />In the earlier video, we saw common people too and the song almost flew from one person and region to another, signifying the national integration. In the new video, it seems everybody does their bit and moves off.. It doesn't hand over the baton of the flow of the song to the next person. People say its all commercial but there are certain areas where buggers shouldn't prowl and MSMT is one. In short, HORRIBLE. <br /><br />M never clickin on that 16 minute video again..

It's more out of necessity. As you know we address our elders as dadas, didis or bhaiyas. There were two problems on online forum - first, the age of the person couldn't be determined. Especially, if the person is female, then it's offending to ask age. Second, is gender itself. A lot of names are self explanatory, but some aren't. So, i chose ji-ism as you put it. It's gender neutral - remember the phrase "computer ji" made invented in KBC? Also, you can call append "ji" without worrying whether the person is bhai, dada, kaku or dadu.<br />And later, i realized that it is very unique to Mundane Journey :)<br /><br /><b>Anonymous ji </b><br />Not sure which anonymous you are.

Look at the title theme of the song - it is solely aimed at portraying national unity and integrity in India.... with its rich ethnicity and diversity, Bollywood as well as Cricket can only get a very short slot within the 16 minutes.... for example, one can show how a punjabi and a muslim teamed up under the Indian cap to defeat the british (Yuvi and Kaif in the Natwest trophy)...Aritra Dashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671748849705480416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372782620110680840.post-86459427596548189092010-01-31T15:28:09.731+05:302010-01-31T15:28:09.731+05:30That's precisely my point...

Zoom may be great in doing in whatever they are good at but come on.... they didn't stand a chance when it came to making a remake of MSMT, they have really messed this one up. The intentions are good and creativity is fine at some places. But, things were definitely not at their places. The modernification of every aspect was exasperating. The scores are horrible at places. Key personalities, whom you expect at a video of this stature are absent. <br /><br />Zoom may be for entertainment but sorry to say MSMT is definitely not. <br /><br />You need to highlight sports, science equally... but as far as this one goes.. it's miles away. And, as we know, (i don't want to use loud statements)'things' like these aren't here to stay, and this is not going to come even a bit close to the level set by MSMT..<br /><br />If they had broadcast this one with a new name, and a new song or a remix on another song.. then things would have looked a bit acceptable...<br /><br />Kudos to good ol MSMT.. it'll live forever!!! :)soumyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04652415688016650623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372782620110680840.post-10918416733585412652010-01-31T12:42:49.969+05:302010-01-31T12:42:49.969+05:30kk...If d whole video was based on only Bollywood ...kk...If d whole video was based on only Bollywood guys..then i would hv no problem..But when u r showing people fm different fields..even showing sports persons((hope u hv seen))..then wht??? ny Hockey player ya S.T..r nt Page-3 member!!!!!!!!<br /> Mean Motive of my criticism s..if u r making such a gr8 video & releasing dat n such a gr8 day...then obviously der shld b feel of nationality there...Otherwise u may release it n ny friday of ny month..y n 26th Jan??And if ur intension s 2 motivate people..then show d real icon...Otherwise..i hv no problem with Zoom..or 2 ny Bollywood flicks...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372782620110680840.post-57550036844002485752010-01-31T12:32:16.051+05:302010-01-31T12:32:16.051+05:30Anonymous ji

It's our mistake that we expected Zoom to showcase national integrity when it is just a page 3 bollywood entertainment channel....<br /><br />I was just wondering... some time back (maybe a year or so), an AIDS caompaign video was being shown in probably Sony.... the video had hardly anything to show about the AIDS campaign - it just showed a large group of bollywood stars, all dressed in white - dancing to a nice song... Not really sure, but I never noticed anybody protesting against it... then why PMSMT? just because it is a remake of MSMT? then, it's DD whom we have to blame for allowing the remake rather than Zoom....Aritra Dashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671748849705480416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372782620110680840.post-35505867378934214642010-01-31T11:50:36.293+05:302010-01-31T11:50:36.293+05:30Amazing Prashant....
