Ok, The new 'Phir Mile Sur Mera Tumhara' is bad. But is it really so terrible that everybody has to make such scathing remarks?? Sorry but i beg to differ. Though the song is long, there were some wonderful moments. Infact I believe the good outweighs the bad and not the other way round.
Everybody is yelling at Salman for appearing shirtless. Well, that's how we all know him. Moreover I thought, his part was the best of the song with the deaf-mute kids doing the 'mile sur mera' part with signs..Guess nobody could see beyond the biceps of Salman. Thumbs up to that.
What is Priyanka doing? She doesnt deserve a place rite? Well, Priyanka is not important but what she was depicting definitely is. She takes a book from girl which obviously is a point to prove that 'Girl Education' which was considered a taboo (which unfortunately still is a taboo in many places) is getting it's due importance now. Thumbs up to that.
Just want to mention here that Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai were both 'Miss World' which allowed INDIA make a bold statement in the fashion world.
Shilpa Shetty is not needed. Agreed. But she sings in Rajasthan showing the harnessing of Solar Energy. Again i believe its just to show that, one of the most dry / arid lands of India is not accepting the defeat but accepting the challenge and is winning.Honest effort indeed.
Music...There was Sarod(Amjad Ali Khan), there was Sitar(Anoushka), there was Tabla(Zakir Hussein), Santoor(Shivkumar Sharma), Sankhar-Ehsaan-Loy, Louis Banks (Jazz ..), Sivamani, there was Fingerboard and what's missing? NATIONAL INTEGRATION..haan? It just proves India has not forgotten its classical instruments and is also accepting the new waves of ROCK and Jazz..........
Somebody was talking abt sportspersons missing. I thought it was very brave to get rid of cricketers and to show that INDIA is beginning to stamp its authority in other sports . Did you notice that there was Abhinav Bindra(shooter), Vijender Kumar(Boxer), Sushil Kumar(Wrestler), Baichang Bhutia(Football), Gopichand and Saina Nehwal(Badminton) and Mary Kom. Mary Kom is a four time consecutive World Amateur Boxing champ from Manipur, INDIA.
There was the Golden Temple, there was Onam, there was Kuchipudi, there were kids who were under the age of 10 and there were kids who were more than 60 years old , there were temples, there were rivers, there were Elephants, there was Qutb Minar, there was Jama Masjid, there was Red Fort, there were backwaters of Kerala..gosh ...its never ending....
I might even say Deepika Padukone is there to just say that the 'next generation' is taking over with her father being part of the previous 'Mile Sur'. Relax I would not say that. Honestly.... Shahid, Ranbir, Deepika, shah Rukh, Karan Johar, Shiamak Davar were never needed...
Ok guys...just as you struggled to find all the 'negatives' I just struggled to find all the positives and guess I found many..I liked it and will watch it again and again..
PEACE!!!!

blog is nice, but i guess u strgld to find +ves in this.. :P
The point is.. why do they have to show Salman without a shirt for the hearing impaired? Why Priyanka Chopra for the girls education?.. Why not Kiran Bedi or someone so prominent as her..? Where is Abdul Kalam, man?? Shilpa Shetty for Rajasthan.. just because she owns Rajasthan Royals? That is a joke!
They could have put prominent people in their places to represent India's strength and in areas in which India is growing. The +ves in the video were overshadowed by the -ves and therefore it sux.. especially coz of bollywood stars.
As for cricket, there is no denying that it is a game loved by most of the people in India and Sachin Tendulkar definitely deserves a place. They did show other sports people, but how many of the viewers would get a grab with their, hardly, 2 sec presence on screen?
I guess the debate will go on..
But like you mentioned, there are some good parts in the video :)
Pick a random person on the road..what are the chances he knows Kiran Bedi and what are the chances that he knows Shilpa Shetty??
And Kalyan...did the old 'Mile sur' did not have Bollywood stars??
And why not priyanka..she was the Miss. World ..only the second one in 60 years..
And Shilpa...ok cut the crap..
you want to see ppl or you want to see INDIA????
