or what is the full form of UPA, or the last Indian to receive the Nobel (forget about asking in which field), or anything that relates to society. They seem to be completely ignorant about the nation, state, society and even neighborhood except for the Page3 supplement that comes with daily newspaper. These are the people who do not even think about casting their vote during election but takes pride in saying “politicians sare chor hote hain. India ka kuchh nahi ho sakta”. These are the people who cannot tell the name of a single minister in the parliament, except for the PM’s name. These are the people who go to McDonald’s for lunch, and take pride in doing so.

Nice post, but sorry. I cannot agree with you totally. Even more on the point that it is a conspiracy, and the actors are a part of this nexus. Actors are as helpless in the industry as the viewers. Which the viewers will never understand. No one listens to the actors, no matter how infulential the actor is. Everything goes on as the producer and the financer wishes it to be. Nobody listens to the actors. They are just paid for their work. Even the scripts change mid-prodn, without prior notice to the actors. And if they do not complly, they are thrown out, and cast is changed. Everything goes on as the financers like it. Not even the directors are aware of it always. And the actors are exploited to the point of no return.

Tara chaile to nijerai ekta movie’r financer hoye jete pare naki? Kintu oi je, “image” er bhoy, unpopularity’r bhoy… bhoye bhoyei jibon ta gelo. Nahoy ekta cinema ki ekta gaaner album flop holoi, since they are so highly regarded in our society, they have a duty towards the betterment of it, don’t they? Why do they only have to think of their own profit and being politically correct all the time? They can make a strong relevant statement for once and face criticism fro a few days. I’m sure it will improve their image in the long run.

hello all, back after a long time. A long list of comments already. I told you, you wont understand. I dont know why people think of actors to be responsible of social responsibilities. Why dont you people understand actors are like any other people doing their jobs? And we are like any other employee in the corporates getting checks at the end of job? I am asking you all, you are corporate employees, there are corruption in corporate level aswell, so do you all resign and protest? if the actors protest, their image may develop in the public eyes for a time, but they will be getting sidelined by the industry and wont be getting jobs. and after a few months, public will forget them public memory is short. so what’s the use? its not a q of B.O success, its about your career.

@Bonny:
Tomar comment pore eta jana gelo je tumi ekjon actor. Let me start this comment by saying that I, personally, did resign from my corporate job, and one of the reasons for that was that I was fed up with the corruption. I cannot prove it to you, of course, but I have told my close friends so many times that I could never be a successful manager as I would never be able to play with people’s careers. I wrote one or two blog posts on this (not too many, as I didn’t want to get into legal trouble), and finally I did resign and came to academics and have decided never to go back to the industry again. I am earning about 25% of what I would have done in the industry. Ruined my career? I don’t think so… I chose an alternative path. Money is not the most important thing for me.
You cannot really compare actors and corporate people, you know? Tell me the name of one IT employee, apart from those whom you personally know or the top bosses. Can you? We are simply not in the public eye! The newspapers don’t follow our every step, the public don’t feel tempted to imitate our gestures and hairstyles. Nobody cares what we do. There are exceptions: when Satyam chairman Ramalinga Raju admitted to those frauds, he did massive damage to the image of the Indian IT industry, but see, he was one of those “top bosses.” He was in the public eye, like you. And that is why, you are not just people with jobs. You do have social responsibilities. “With great power comes great responsibility,” remember? You, through a popular movie, can change the country’s hairstyle, dress design or ringtones. That is why you do have social responsibility, you cannot avoid that.
Having said that, let me say that I perfectly understand your concerns about not getting offers or being sidelined. I am not saying that you can refuse to dance around trees and demand protesting roles all the time. I am only saying that once in a while all of you can do a memorable movie that protests against the corrupt system. I do not know how famous you are, but if you are one of the senior actors, you know you can finance your own movie. aami eta bujhte parchhina keno tumi nijer poisay political corruption er against e ekta movie baniye taate acting korle tomay industry boycott korbe. Does that mean you do agree that the producers and directors ARE part of a large conspiracy along with the corrupt politicians?
