Film: India's "Forrest Gump" (Bollywood)

Laal Singh Chaddha

(Paramount Pictures, August 2022) Laal is a simple man whose extraordinary journey will fill audiences with love, warmth, and happiness (and at least one reviewer with an ulcer and possibly one nation with some communal violence on its hands. The Sikhs are in for some trouble from the Hindus. How and why?

This is an official remake of the 1994 American classic film Forrest Gump for Indian audiences with cultural touchstones appropriate to their understanding and temperament, well, almost. It's being boycotted by the Hindu majority who managed to find offense.

(Dhruv Rathee) Boycott of Laal Singh Chaddha. Is it anti-Hindu?

Laal Singh Chaddha movie review and analysis

This movie is a labor of love...that truly misses the mark. #laalsinghchaddha starring #aamirkhan #kareenakapoor #nagachaitanya. It really does underdeliver the epic that was Forrest Gump. It's a #bollywood movie that will meet the fate of most films this year. What went wrong? Here it is, the (panning) review of Laal Singh Chaddha starring Aamir Khan, superstar Kareena Kapoor, and Naga Chaitanya.

"Buddha's Warriors" -- Tibet

CNN.com Thursday, July 31, 2008

CNN is using the provocative title "Buddha's Warriors" in a new documentary airing this week. Reporter Amanpour states that some Tibetan agitators, such as Tenzin Tsundue, are growing weary of the Dalai Lama's "middle way" strategy in dealing with Beijing. They disagree with settling on a Tibet within and part of China.

PREVIEW Pt. 1 (On the March: 3:13, AOL link)

Footage includes a Tibetan Bon-style shaman -- "the official state oracle" -- entering a trance to advise the Dalai Lama. The message the shaman channels in a secretive language only a few monks understand is to stay the course: Continue the current concilliartory approach and seek peaceful coexistence with China. Tibetan dissidents disagree and challenge the decision of Tibet's "government in exile" in Dharamsala, India.
