Stuff I wrote for my college campus newspaper -22

Fact or Fiction? You Decide!

By SANKET KAMBLI

· There were many reports about the movie ‘Ab Tak Chappan’ being based on the story of some encounter specialist of Mumbai Police, but it is hard to believe that, no critic of the movie has even thought about the similarity it has with the characterization of the Hollywood movie , ‘Training Day’. Many parallel’s can be drawn between the two movies, especially the relationship between Nana Patekar and his junior officer, can be compared to the relationship between, Denzel Washington and Evan McGregor in the aforementioned movie.

· While commenting on the capacity of India and China to rival the western economic super powers, once Shekher Kapur had commented that “We will still have Spiderman but when Spiderman takes off his mask, he will probably be Chinese or Indian”. And it has been reported that Sharad Devarajan CEO of Gotham Entertainment had plans to replace Peter Parker alias Spiderman with a Indian dude by the name Pavitr Prabhakar sporting a whose costume consists of dhoti and kurta. Yeah! Now how many fans of this cult comic star will digest it is all together a different question.
