Subhashji, did you have any serious creative differences with Mukul Anand regarding Trimurti. I was highly disappointed with that although I'm both a fan of you and Mukul Anand? Or else why do you think the film flopped so badly?


fdsfds (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:10 IST)
Subhashji: YOU SOUND LIKE FOSSIL. SO, I AM LEAVING, GOODBYE AND GOODDAY.....AND HOPE NOT TO SEE YOU AGAIN IN MY LIFE. VERY DISAPPOINTED BY YOUR THOUGHTS.


manian (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:12 IST)
O.K. Nandini. Ghaiji, What is yr. honest opinion? Will Mahima be a smashing hit? Q from Hollywood, California


rajg (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:13 IST)
Subhashj: Whom do u rate as the top 3 directors today in the country?? (including south and excluding yourself). And WHY??


Rana (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:14 IST)
I always wondered why there was never an airline action movie like the Airport 75, 79 series was about. I think that would be cool.


raj (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:14 IST)
Subhasji.... why do Indian movies always have a family-based stories... I have hardly seen a movie.. like Speed, Jurassic Park or even MIB


Anita (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:14 IST)
Subhashji: Sorry for being late. Can you tell me, how do you give break to new heroines. Do they have to send their CVs to you by post or do you have an e-mail account?


ALTAAF (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:15 IST)
Is Jackie your fav. hero? He's in a lot of your hit films.


ahmittal (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:15 IST)
Best Actors/actresses - what about from the current crop who are still in business ?


Rana (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:15 IST)
Mr. Ghai, would you accept a story idea from an amateur like me ?


rajg (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:16 IST)
Subhashj: You are handling this chat Better than our ex-Prime Minister Deve Gowda , who "ran way" from this place just an hour ago. Consider seriously about entering into politics. You can even become PM. (when Deve Gowda can become one , why not U?)


Anita (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:16 IST)
Subhashji: Is it true that Jackie was a 'Sadak Chaap' before you gave a break to him??


Rana (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:17 IST)
MR. SUBHASH GHAI .. CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH PLEASE ???


Anita (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:18 IST)
Subhashji: How did the idea for the film 'Karz' come up? I mean it was a completely different film from other Bollywood cinema of those days, except the film 'Kudrat'


MOHAMMED KHAN (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:18 IST)
SUBHASH JI: you are a very good director. I would like to compliment for VIDHAATA. Specially for getting the excellent performance out of DILIP KUMAR. What do you think of SHAH RUKH KHAN as an actor, SUBHASH JI????


Kallicharan (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:18 IST)
How did you ever think of being an actor? Why is it that most of the actors and actresses in Bollywood are city slickers and not from the Hindi heartland like Dharamji or your good self?


Dr Dang (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:19 IST)
What is the greatest challenge, in your opinion, confronting India today?


Anita (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:19 IST)
Subhashji: Who is your mentor????


Rana (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:19 IST)
Mr. Ghai: Can you make a successful Hindi film without songs ? I have always believed getting rid of the songs will ensure a strong story line. Do you have that capability to do it ? If so why havent you done it yet ?


pummy (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:19 IST)
Mr. Subash Ghai, Why did you cancel Devaa. Ego problems with Amitabh? Honest answer please. Are you planning to work with him in future?


shiver (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:21 IST)
Hey Ghai, Is it true that you try to score with each one of your heroines? Filthy scum like you should think of retiring sometime. Guys like you make me wanna puke..


Rana (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:21 IST)

ALTAAF (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:21 IST)
Don't you think that I deserve a reply as well?????


Anita (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:22 IST)
Subhashji: why film like 'Mrityudatta' flops??


rajg (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:22 IST)
anita: Karz came up when SubhasG watched an English movie called "the return of Peter Pan". Isn't it, Subhash? Or do you call it inspiration? Anyway, I like that movie and watch it even now when it is shown on the cable.


Surya (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:23 IST)
Thanks for answering my question. But does it mean that you do not have any more police security, since the hafta thing didn't happen?


rajg (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:24 IST)
Anita: Because it Deserved to flop. Logoon ko baar baar Ulu nahi bana sakte!


Rana (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:24 IST)
Mr. Ghai, Does the "casting couch " exist ? Have you as a filmmaker ever used it ? Be honest now !!!


raj (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:27 IST)
Subhashji, I have an suggestion.... I will be happy if you make a movie on the Naxal Movement in WB in the early seventies.... I think it can be a great movie


rajg (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:27 IST)
SubhashG: Ye "masses" "class" ka chakkar kya hai?? Hasn't "shankar" (Gentleman, Kadhalan) and Mani Ratnam proved that one can make films which is enjoyed by all???


shiver (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:27 IST)
Mr Ghai, why is it that ANYBODY who is involved with showbiz becomes a media attraction? Even if they make filthy third grade movies like you..


ALTAAF (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:30 IST)
Rajg: Yeh masses aur classes ka chakkar yeh hai, ki quality films like Lamhe and Sisila flop ho jati hain.


Surya (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:30 IST)
I am sorry, I have to go to see my boss. The beeper just went off. It's been nice but would still like to know more about your police cover.. is it on or off?


ALTAAF (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:33 IST)
subhash, you turned your friend into a villain???


raj (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:35 IST)
Subashji, I have an suggestion.... I will be happy if you make a movie on the Naxal Movement in WB in the early seventies.... I think it can be a great movie.


MOHAMMED KHAN (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:36 IST)
SUBHASH JI: you are primarily an action filmmaker. what are your favorite films of all time(hollywood and Indian? And so is John Woo, an Hong Kong Filmmaker. What do you think of him as a director and his films, The KILLER and HARD BOILED if you have seen them???These both are considered as the best action films ever!!


prefhol (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:36 IST)
Mr Ghai - Hope your 13th will be lucky. all the best


ALTAAF (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:37 IST)
People do you refer to Subhash Ghai as "Subhashji" "Subhash uncle" "Mr. Ghai" "Mr. Subhash" even when your not talking to him???


shiver (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:37 IST)
Who is this Mahima Chowdhary????? Is she your latest, Mr. Ghai? I mean 'actress' :-)


marku (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:41 IST)
howz it going out there ??


ahmittal (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:44 IST)
In your next projects, would you cast Tabu ? Or you always are looking for a fresh face for your new film ?


MOHAMMED KHAN (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:45 IST)
SUBHASH JI: DILIP KUMAR and SANJEEV KUMAR are brilliant actors. ANIL KAPOOR and JACKIE SHROFF are good actors. Now that you have worked with SHAHRUKH KHAN in two films. How would you rate him as an actor even though it is too early to say!!! Your opinion please.


marku (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:48 IST)
Subashji -- a frank question -- how many heroines have u slept with or do u prefer the heros ??


prefhol (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:54 IST)
Read somewhere that all directors and producers are leaving India because of underworld fear. how true is it ??


MOHAMMED KHAN (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:54 IST)
Subhash ji: JACKIE SHROFF has shown that he is a good actor. However, in your movies his talent never showed up. Did you ever wish you directed PARINDA and GARDISH?


PmtvIndia (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:55 IST)
Hi subash .. Pmtv here


ranga (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:55 IST)
Subhashji, Do you have any favorites among the movies you have directed?? I think Hero was one of the best movies taken in Hindi..


rajg (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:56 IST)
SubhashG: U Have not commented on Shahrukh Khan. (frank opinions please!)


PmtvIndia (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:57 IST)

MOHAMMED KHAN (Tue Aug 5 1997 22:57 IST)
SUBHASH JI: Please..Your opinion of JOHN WOO, a Hong Kong film maker who directed FACE/OFF. He has also directed two of the best action films ever made on silver screen,THE KILLER and HARD BOILED!!! Your opinion on these two if you have seen them?????????????


PmtvIndia (Tue Aug 5 1997 23:0 IST)
Oi!! anybody here?? Why Isn`t the chat flowing?? I have to hit reload every time?


rajg (Tue Aug 5 1997 23:0 IST)
SubashG: You are very fast. this has been the best chat show of Rediff. All our Previous guests (except a very few like Gill)were very slow, vague and disappointing. U surely seem to be a Smart man!


amit (Tue Aug 5 1997 23:0 IST)
Suhbhasji, the technical qualities of Bombay films have improved quite a lot. But regarding special effects we still lag far, far behind Hollywood. Is it because we lack that kind of infrastructure or that our directors are technophobs?


Raj (Tue Aug 5 1997 23:3 IST)
Mr Ghai, what sound system is Pardes recorded in?


rajg (Tue Aug 5 1997 23:4 IST)
Thank You ghai, for a very Professional Performance! Good Luck to Your Movie.!! And please try to give us something new every time u make a movie.
