The murder of a movie

People did not like Chandni Chowk to China much - that is expected. It was a spoof, a movie to be watched keeping one's brains outside the theater. I did just that and had loads of fun with my friends. But not everyone did that. Quite a few people expected to get some sort of a guided tour into the historical relations between India and China. Some thought that it would be a meaningful, sensible story. But it wasn't. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But I was appalled to see the movie crucified by "critics" and media houses. Unfortunately, these people who mould public opinion, are not above petty politics and foibles - they are human after all. Did Warner Brothers not give them free premier tickets? Did they not give them good seats? Did they not shake hands with them? Who knows?

Akshay Kumar deserved better, and so did the movie.
