JUNE 24- Amitabh Bachchan is quite excited on India’s victory over England, but he is also disappointed with the Indian Commentators on the TV, as no one seems to be rooting for the Indian team. Big B has shared his views on his blog.
Huge excitement at India winning the Championship Trophy in Cricket, beating England in England… so proud the team makes us all…our appreciation and boundless love and congratulations to all the team members!!
They have played remarkably…did not lose a single game in the entire tournament and came out winners in the end, despite all kinds of criticism against them…
May they continue to excel in the future too…
I am though, most disappointed with the Indian Commentators on the TV (English). With the exception of Saurav Ganguly, no one seems to be rooting for the Indian team. It almost seems like they are pandering to the opposition.
An English player is bowled out at a most crucial point in the game and the Indian commentator, is more worried about how the player can play such a shot, than complimenting and praising the Indian bowler for his feat !
With one ball left to finish the game, and England requiring six runs to win from their last batsmen, the Indian commentator says” now all England requires is a six to win”…damn!! You have no words of praise for the Indian team that has played remarkably and brought the English team to such a pass…
The England batsmen are getting out by some remarkable bowling, and the Indian commentator is questioning the English batsmen why he played so…No praise for the Indian bowler who got him out???
Who pays your fee Mr…? We shall understand better…!!
I am livid !!
Anyway…a celebration followed and a film was seen, ‘Raanjhanaa’ starring Dhanush and Sonam and it was a delight. I get so envious after seeing all these wonderful films, and lament and regret that I am not in them, even in a small capacity, for I love the immense talent and finesse that today’s cinema with its young brigade brings to the world…
I shall be seeing some other unreleased films given to me by Anurag Kashyap, by some talented directors and actors…a joy always…
I wish to see ‘Fukrey’ which is garnering praise from all quarters. The performances are good, and one such, comes from Richa Chaddha, who Anurag brought to meet me on the sets. She was so good in GOW…and I believe has done very good work in ‘Fukrey’ too…
Ahhh…there is so much to do and so little time for it…if only wishes could turn round faster…
I must to bed now…and shall be with you in the morrow…
Prayers still for the victims of the floods, the survivors and those that have lost loved ones…
