Don’t know who the comic is, but he was definitely gross and unfunny. The hardest thing about political satire is the difference between sharp & cruel. This was not sharp, it was cruel, the timing was off, it landed badly even with Congress supporters. When your star campaigner is going to share stage with a performer you should have checked his jokes and done a dummy run in front of mixed audiences. Now the fallout is shared by your leader. The opposition had enough jokes to crack on Dr MMS silences or Mr ABV’s pauses or Deve Gowda’s napping or Rajiv Gandhi’s fumbles but the then top opposition leaders never indulged in it. They instinctively knew. They didn’t have MBA analysts with laptops egging them on. The office of the PM is respected & you might make fun of the person in private but on public platforms the language is formal, the criticism needs to be satirical and indirect. The Jantar Mantar event seems to have misled many people to believe that India’s public language has changed across the country. It might have to some extent, granted. But they don’t want you to adopt it. From you they expect decorum. That is why you are leaders, we/they are masses.

After 9 straight AFC West titles, 7 straight trips to the AFCCG & going to 5 of 6 Super Bowls, KC finally had a down year.
But that’s over & we’re back to normal. The AFC goes thru KC.
Our young generation must see this short interview clip of Smt. Indira Gandhi talking about emergency and give befitting response to those who are raising the slogans of azadi and accusing this govt of being dictatorial.
@bhogleharsha Our strength is only on flat pitches where we can slog blindly. We need more sound technique players rather than sloggers. Vaibhav is clearly not ready. Jaiswal/Gill/Sanju/Sudarshan better players instead of Ishan/Vaibhav/Tilak/Dube.
@Incognito_qfs Fyi, I’m not encouraging any woman to be objectified in any movie. It happens everywhere in hindi, bhojpuri movies as well. Don’t classify south vs north. After movie is finished, she is not some “abla nari” who can’t say “NO” is my opinion.
@Incognito_qfs Can you please tell me who forced Janhvi kapoor for those scenes if she is uncomfortable with the script or scenes? Deepika is walking out on movies she doesn’t like pay and other stuff. If south movies are the worst why is she acting in if not for clout and why this melodrama
@_mrchaturvedi But if the actor choses to do only 1 film per year and would like to work only 8 hours, its their choice as well. If the producer doesn’t want it, look for another actor. Why should anyone berate Deepika for putting that in contract?
@Shehzad_Ind@annamalai_k If people understand his comments, he compared Vijay to Annamalai influence over people and converting them to votes. As much as I want Annamalai to become CM of TN or better, people proved that they didn’t believe him twice. Sad reality and I want him to prove everyone wrong
