Shit.

Oh and the torture doesnt stop there. They're also remaking Fight Club

FIGHT CLUB is an exhilarating journey of four friends Vicky (Zayed Khan), Karan (Dino Morea), Somil (Riteish Deshmukh) and Diku (Aashish Choudhury), who in constant endeavor to help each other get entangled in a web of incidents, some romantic, many funny and all that test the extremes of their friendship. An exciting journey is further accelerated when Vicky stumbles upon the design of a FIGHT CLUB. Now in a strange new city, these five boys from Mumbai experience love, passion and also the worst enemies in the form of gang lords that one can ever imagine.

The music of FIGHT CLUB is a real treat. It has been composed by the talented Pritam (of DHOOM, CHOCOLATE fame) and has got melodious and eclectic songs sung by some of the leading singers in the industry today. The music of Fight Club has been released by T-Series.

I'm emailing whoever Chan Wook Park and Chuck Paluhniuk and telling them to bomb New Delhi.

Edit: Holy crap, Fight Club is now a gay Coyote Ugly :O :x

holy f*ck.... only the indians could f*ck these movies up so horribly, I hope everyone involved with these films burns in hell.....

that being said, I also hope all the people involved with all these shitty american remakes of films also burn in hell

 

[Asuka]

This is ridiculous. Fight Club? ****ing shit.

 

[Greatgat]

It's about freaking time! I've been waiting for this, for like, forever! Whoooooooo! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Lucid]

That is NOT Fight Club.

That is an abomination to the film industry.
And why the **** remake a movie that only came out a few years ago?

 

[Steven]

My mate looks a lot like the guy on the right side of the guy in the middle.

 

[Cormeh]

That is NOT Fight Club.

Quoted meaning that it is absolutely nothing like our beloved Fight Club.

 

[Churack]

Wow you have freinds? Whats his name?

oh shut up, who the hell cares, just dont watch it. Hollywood has been butchering foreign films for decades

or must I remind you of this craptastic adaptation:

compared to this masterpiece

I like Bollywood movies ..some are unintentionally funny and they're for the most part entertaining (the few I have seen in bits and pieces) I dont understand a word they're saying yet I'll usually watch for awhile ...ever notice how many hot women are in these movies?

 

[Harryz]

"holy f*ck.... only the indians could f*ck these movies up so horribly, I hope everyone involved with these films burns in hell....."

Although David Finchers is my favourite director and Oldboy is my favourite Korean movie, the remake is not supposed to be directed at the western civilisation, its for Indian movie-goers. As an Indian, I enjoy some Bollywood movies. This however, looks cheesy and bad acting, but to tell you the truth, Indian people enjoy these movies.

 

[Sulkdodds]

rofl. That'll be a must-see for me whether it's good (good) or crap (hilarious).

 

[CptStern]

my 2 year old son loves bollywood movies ..they're so over exaggerated in their movements that he breaks out laughing whenever we watch one

one of the funniest scenes from a bollywood I saw a few months back was this scene that took place on a beach ..about 30 police officers had surrounded the villian (you can never tell who the villian is because sometimes the good guy is just as sassy as the bad guy) and had him cornered ..he just gave them sidelong look, a raised eyebrow (extreme closeup) and then threw a what I can only guess is a smoke bomb ..cut to reaction on Police chief's face (extreme close up of his eyebrows), camera pans to where the villian was standing, the smoke clears and the chief yells "there he is!" ..cut to villian/good guy driving a car on the road hundreds of meters from where the beach was smiling while the cops jump in their cars and give chase all in the matter of about 3 seconds ..this is with over the top acting, cheesy music and really garish 70's clothes and hairstyles ..oh and they only seemed to have 2 sound effects for the car: screeching tires and "vrooom vrroooom" ..I couldnt stop laughing it was so funny

 

[Dr. Freeman]

meh....
this wouldn't be the first time Bollywood has attempted adaptations and it won't be the last either.
and as Stern and Harryz have already pointed out, these movies are not targeted towards western civilization...mostly just for Indian cinema.

 

[Harryz]

meh....

You would believe how many remakes they actually do, you just don't hear about them. From the top of my head The Matrix, Fugitive, Lord of the Rings (I've been told its hilarious), Harry Potter and so many others I couldn't think where to begin.

Russel Peters sums up what I think of Indian movies (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-107100689292745836&q=russell+peters - Forward it to 50:30 seconds).

my mother is a fan of Bollywood movies...she keeps me more informed than i'd like to be

Likewise, Stern, just because Hollywood dishes out shit most of the time doesn't mean that people can't comment on how Bollywood dishes out shit most of the time.

[CptStern]

but it's not made with them in mind ..it's like complaining that chinese cinema is in chinese

 

[kupocake]

The music of FIGHT CLUB is a real treat. It has been composed by the talented Pritam (of DHOOM, CHOCOLATE fame)

Oh the hilarity of homophones. What I wouldn't give to see the Rock doing the whole shifty eyebrows thing before clearing a room full of Imps with some smoking Bhangra Moves. Would like to see Bollywood's spin on First Person Shooter camera work...

I hear FHINAL DHOOM is pretty hot too.

If you notice, I also made a comment about American remakes of foreign films, which are atrocious

I am personally against almost every remake ever made, now, if these were billed as parodies, I would have an easier time dealing with it

I'm glad to hear Indians enjoy them, along with many others, I just kinda wish they wouldn;t use the original names if they're gonna mess with the movie so much

Also, I had a funny thought about my original post - most Indians aren;t Christian, so they wouldn't believe in Hell anyway, at least not a Christian hell... that's kinda funny

 

[CptStern]

what you never heard of "On Golden Blonde"? or "Hannah does her sisters?" or "Sex Trek the Next Penetration"?

hmm...i don't know if you are aware of it, but "Dhoom" is not referring to the game turned movie or the game at all actually...so anyone that knows a little about Indian cinema would laugh at that post of yours.

 

[Harryz]

I did. But I wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic or not.

"Sex Trek the Next Penetration"

And anyone that knows a little about detecting sarcasm will probably find the above quite ammusing. Or perhaps the criteria is simply that you have two fifty firsts of a brain?

nah.. actually Dhoom is a word in Hindi, so sarcasm or not, people who understand my point of view are more likely to laugh at your post than to detect the sarcasm, nice try tho...

... You just don't get it do you? How does this matter at all? Of course it's a word in Hindi. It's a Bollywood film. The key phrase of the day?

Oh the hilarity of homophones.

thefreedictionary [/url]
One of two or more words, such as night and knight, that are pronounced the same but differ in meaning, origin, and sometimes spelling.

So i've said "Dhoom" sounds like "Doom" but doesn't mean the same. So why the hell are you wading in (again may I add) trying to make me look stupid by pointing out something that i've actually adknowledged in the first place? What level of arrogance does it take to actually believe that someone you hardly know is stupid enough to not tell that:

1) Dhoom isn't an english word.
2) Dhoom isn't a remake of a Game to Movie adapation starring the Rock and featuring Bhangra dancing in the place of shooting.

Sure, my post is a groanworthy joke... But to totally miss even that in favour of a chance of belittling someone for no reason whatsoever? How does that reflect on you?

Sorry that you lose.

And everyone who comes out with smart-arsed crap like this is in exactly the same boat.

Jeez, its the internets, dude. Calm the f*ck down.

omg im in the same boat as someone who posted that you dont know what youre talking about, and if you do you suck at making sarcastic remarks!

 

[Sulkdodds]

Well I thought it was a funny joke. It's all gone a-crazee!

SCREW YOU BASTARD ILL KILL YOU LIKE WHOAH! :bonce:

[Absinthe]

Bollywood films make for good hangover movies. When you've just woken up, you're confused, tired, and laugh at stupidity more than usual.

Other than that... just no.

I dunno... I've always been quietly intrigued by them. They can't be all bad..... Can they?

I would probably find myself throwing things at the TV on a bad hangover...

They are probably better when you're drunk

Saving Ryan's Privates? D:

Shaving Ryan's Privates? D:

Fixed!

 

[Steven]

Wow you have freinds? Whats his name?

WTF... you're the lonelyest guy I know.

 

[Que-Ever]

re...remake fight club?
*slit*

 

[Zephos]

Saving Ryan's Privates? D:

I thought that to be a shit idea, I mean cmon considering what the content was of Saving Private Ryan...I think they should be ashamed.

Anyway Bollywood films are fine, think of when Hollywood ****s up foreign films (The Ring etc etc)

 

[Absinthe]

I dunno. When I woke up to the sight of an Indian musical in front of the American flag, I bust my gut laughing.

Then I vomited.
