Bollywood Craze

A Pakistani teenager's craze for a career in Bollywood has landed him in an Indian jail and his worried parents are appealing for his release on humanitarian grounds.
Nasir Sultan, a Class 10 student and a diehard fan of the Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, crossed over to India illegally to try and join the film industry. After reaching Punjab in India, he called his parents in the North West Frontier Province to say he was in the neighbouring country. Fifteen minutes later his parents got another call to say that their son had been arrested. Sultan's parents, who hail from Chukiatan, a small town of Dir district in NWFP, are now running from pillar to post to secure his release. Like most Pakistani boys of his age, Sultan was an avid Bollywood fan and was fascinated by the many stunts in Hindi films that he hoped to excel at too. On August 16, Sultan left home for school wearing his uniform and carrying his schoolbag but instead crossed the border.
Two days later, his father Sultan Zareen, who works at a petrol pump, got a call from Sultan, who said he was on his way to Mumbai. This was followed soon after by the news of his arrest.
Sultan is being held in Faridkot Jail for the past two months. "I don't know what to do to secure his release as he is in another country where I have no influence or resources to use for winning his release," Zareen told The News daily. Zareen said his wife was depressed and the Indian Government should release his son on humanitarian ground.

Indian Film Industry

Indian film industry the so called bollywood is a dying industry ….
With over 800 movies a year ..most of them are copied from Hollywood exactly the same ..including the dialogues …..and the songs are copied from either Pakistani, English or Arabic music…and all this bollywood does in the name of Inspiration..without any credits given.

There is no originality in Indian movies…its only glamour and nude dancers they are selling their movies…leaving very few countables on fingers, which can be named as good cinema…

And now with increasing jealousy and war of egoes in between some major big names in bollywood, like shah rukh and amitabah, salman and shah rukh, …and many to name….
This industry is for sure going towards a disaster…..just for how long can u sell movies with half naked ladies dancing around with fast copied music playing in the back ground… they are selling only because of glamour nude dances.…
