Sandeep has a post praising actor Ompuri - Bravo Om Puri - for not backing down due to calls by certain morons like Mahesh Bhatt asking him to refuse the award of OBE (Order of British Empire) from thje Queen of England. Apparently Bhatt feels it is improper for Ompuri to accept the award because he doesn’t like the British Government’s war on Iraq.
Now, it is very interesting to note that the self-same Mahesh Bhatt had no problems with Dilip Kumar’s acceptance of the ‘Nishan-e-Pakistan’ award from Pakistan -Meanwhile, film-makers Mahesh Bhatt and Anand Patwardhan, actor Jayant Kriplani, journalist Nikhil Wagle and many others have come out in defence of Dilip Kumar.Apparently Bhatt protests award acceptances only when the country in question is killing non-Indians…nice going, doncha think?

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Hypocrites:
I’ve given up listening to what Mahesh Bhatt has to say in the press a long time back! He is a self-serving hypocrite to the core. Well, actually, the entire Bhatt clan is a group of pseuds!

No argument there, Sameer - they all exude a too-cool-to-be-understood aura for my liking.

While I do not know all Indian movie personalities, I’ve only seen Om Puri’s work in Western cinema, where he has always been strong, particularly in My Son the Fanatic. Why he should turn down the award because of unrelated matter like Iraq is confusing. But I guess Bollywood is just aping Hollywood again - fashionable leftist politics.

You are right, KXB - the only difference being that if Hollywood protests the Iraq war, it makes a little sense since it is majorly an American war. The Bollywood people do this when they have absolutely no bone in the fight.
Pathetic!

Exactly, Shanti.
I’ve ranted several times about Mahesh Bhatt. Something about the man annoys me…be it his idiotic interviews on TV or his insane Hollywood rip-offs.
Methinks his propah place is in the mental asylum. It’s another thing that he’ll cure the lunatics there :-):evil:

Sandeep, remember most of the “semi-autiobiographical” movies made by the Bhatt clan?
They leave me in no doubt at all that the entire clan belongs in an asylum :mad:
