Marigold Sucks, Simpsons Rule and Chak De Rocks

Cliched,stereotypical-thats Marigold. One of the 'east-meets-west' movie Marigold flounders in every field.Whether its the script,the direction,the sound track every sucks. It tells the same old cliched story-Girl from west meets boy from east,they fall in love. But whats more embarrasing is the way India is portrayed-people with funny accent, cab drivers who are ought to fool you. I hope noone watches this movie-especially people from the west,because this is not how India really is, because this is not the best cross-over movie(it makes Bride and Prejudice and Mistress of Spice look like Citizen Kane in comparision) for that matter the best movie to come out of the Indian stable.
If people want to know the real India, i suggest people watch Chak De India. Chak De is all what modern India is about-bold,aggressive and daring. And if people want to see what Indian film industry is capable of ,watch Gandhi,My Father-one of the best Indian movies ever made. This is probably the only movie about a controversial subject which didnt land in any kind of controversy and partly the reason is that the movie portrayed the character as they were,the movie didnt try to preach,it let the audience decide for themself.
If you want a dose of laughter then The Simpson Movie is the choice for you.Superably made it clicks with the hardcore fans as well as with people who are watching it for the first time. Great going Matt.
