One word 'Joker' led to South VS Bollywood Drama

In a recent Interview Bollywood actor Arshad warsi shared his opinion on the Blockbuster film of 2024, Kalki 2898AD expressing "Prabhas, I am really sad, why was he… he was like a joker. Why?" and that led to an outrage all over social media. As more celebrities weighed on and countered the actor's choice of words, it slowly tuned into an ugly fight raging the age old war of South vs Bollywood But a mature response from the Director Nag Ashwin finally (hopefully) brings it to an end. Here is a breakdown of the whole Drama #Joker #Prabhas #kalki2898ad

If he had said “Prabhas’s comedy didn’t work for me.” It would have been fine. The choice of word took it to this level and he himself is to be blamed for everything came later.

Me saying “Nona’s review of Kalki was nonsense” and me saying “I didn’t like Nona’s review of Kalki” is two different things.

“Insult” and “criticism”

[woranto]

But He said it correct. thats fact its character and world development so thats correct.

You tried hard to defend Arshad Warsi here, but here is Arshad's opinion about South Indian movies (and film-makers) in an older interview - Arshad answers, “I think mere ghar mein jitne log kaam karte hain, vo sab dubbed south films dekhte hain, sab ke sab. It is highly entertaining. Rajinikanth jo itne bade star hain; kuch reason to hoga hi. Zyada sochne ki zaroorat nahi hain, zyada dimaag crack karne ki zaroorat nahi hain. Aap dekh lo gadiyaan ud rahi hain, log udd rahe hain. Sab popcorn khao, picture dekho, ghar chale jao. (Everyone who works at my house watches dubbed south films. There must be a reason why Rajinikanth is such a big star. They don’t require much thinking. You see vehicles and people are flying everywhere. Eat popcorn, watch the film, and go home.)”

Comedy was pushed in so that the equation of film will be complete.

i feel like i am getting a deep dive into some Indian culture here. i am unsure why calling a movie character a 'joker' when the movie character was very clearly comedic on purpose. the character was a bit too comedic but so what. it is the reason i referred to Prabas' character as 'Indian Han Solo' who was nothing but jokes in the first star wars movie. i guess i don't get it. love the shirt/turban combo today.

[RudraVarma-uk]

If You want to enjoy comedy, You got to see in the original language. The halls were bursting in laughter in the south languages. Prabhas is also known for his unique comic timing . I enjoyed first part more than second

It’s near impossible to get comic timing in dubbing and the dialogue conversion to Hindi was bad. I saw in Hindi too, halls were silent in first half

[kollurubharathsimha]

To give a chance he need to clarify himself like nani . Did he do it ?.issue is nani got scrutinized by entire hindi media no one asked arshad y he said so .having gray don't mean ur wise ur just old thats it . Being veteran doesn't mean speeking shit maintaining dignity makes u one . Every time prabhas is getting blame and even if he leavss we don't because irrespective of fan bases we all love him for what he was .think of laying finger u will lose hand 😂. This time celebs were also rexed too .

[kollurubharathsimha]

We loved comedy dude it worked here. U should understand its that prabhas we love and u should understand comedy is language subjective 👍

[abhijithsebastianbenny]

What about the hema committee report in Kerala

[Sanjay-]

Well kalki was good movie with good story but i felt duration of the movie was too long, 😅

[harshraj]

Arshad is old enough to know how to articulate words in a public platorm. joker, chapri aisi sabdo ka chayan karoge to gaali paregi hi....

[pumkingamer]

I know this is out of your usual content but please react to ''How Rockstar will change gaming forever again'' very very interesting and shocking video with lots of information to be attained and damm Worthy of a reaction from you

[ncsaketh]

y are you milking this topic so much. and y trying so much to defend Arshad so much. Y cant u see the other side of the argument as well. This topic was over a week ago when the director commented. Everyone felt the word joker was unnecessary.

Would srk or amitabh fans be okay if Arshad said Srk was like a joker in dunki or ambitabh was like a joker in thugs of hindostan or some other movie or would he even dare to say that.

Arshad couldve said, Prabhas character was too comedic and it didnt land, wouldve been fine. No the word Joker had to be used. Anyways.

[Blindtraindriver]

Arshad is right saying that Movie was not good. It wasnt

[JayPrakash-zmhy]

But the fact what nani said is true
People in hindi took stand for arshad its obvious
Nobody as a right to go against critisism for Director .he knows what is delivered and one of the greatest director in India. Immature hypocrite senseless analysis like arshad Warsi statement..
We know who's fans are edited clips makes it viral video wants to degrade cinema ( sr* fans)

[elkpound]

We just need arshad Warsi and all his supporters in telugu states ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ we are just better and more educated than you northies. South actors are always better

[yaswanthr]

I am asking the same make a movie on such scale then comment about anybody its good

[adharshrajkumar]

It’s not an issue with opinion of Arshad Warsi, but u should use better choice of words, wat if some actor will say that SRK was like a joker in happy new year, will that not be offensive, when u are in public platform u should be better, so don’t give me this bs, even politicians are accountable for their words, u can say whatever u want but not in public platform…so Nona please be more sensible when u say that we can say whatever we want, freedom of speech doesn’t mean that u can be un civil when u are giving opinion.

[Kkv]

If it crosses 1000 cr doesn't mean it's good movie, just marketing except baahubali all other Prabhas movies are bakwas

[denvorsden]

I did not like Kalki. Maybe because I watched it on Netflix.
