A real Paheli It seems there were four movies being considered as official entry for Oscars .They were 1 Black ,2Iqbal 3 HazaroenKhawishen aisi 4 Page 3 .Paheli was not even mentioned in running .So it is a real paheli how and why it has been selected as the official entry .It is extremely culture centric and rather far fethed .I think Iqbal or Black would have done India proud .
Maybe it is being sent as it has Shahrukh Khan .This reminds me of his latest advertisement extolling the virtues of Lux.It mirrors an immense social change .Till recently women in various forms of dress and undress were used to sell the products Now the shoe is on the other foot .We have male models showingoff their brawn .It simply means that among the middle class women have the major say so they are being wooed by male beef cake .Just goes on to show there is no gender bias it is the consumer who is the king or should I say Queen .
