Questions David Dhawan did not answer

David Dhawan with Govinda
hemant (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:35 IST)
Davidji, did you always wanted to be a film director?


Manji (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:36 IST)
Why do you vibe so well with Govinda? What does he have that you utilise so well?


MrKhiladi (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:36 IST)
Ankit >> Rekha ko sirf rekha (line) maar raha tha . .. BigB ... abhi spastic society ko dhoka de chuken hai .. woh humaare maamle me dhakal nahin denge ...


Sridhar (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:36 IST)
I am so very happy to hear that. How do you know Deewana Mastana is a hit? On the basis of advance bookings?


MrKhiladi (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:37 IST)
Hi Davidji ... late kyon hua ?


rang (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:38 IST)
David bhai, Yeh kaunsi movie hit hi. Kuch batayiye na...


rang (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:39 IST)
Davidbhai, Kya rang aapke zindagi mein pasand nahi hai kya? Kuch jawaab hi nahi hi. Ya sirf ladkiyon ke rang chahiye.


Ankit (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:42 IST)
Agar humko ek film banani hain to aapko kaise contact kare?


rang (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:42 IST)
Davidbhai, Which other actor you find as versatile as Govinda? Which actress you like to work with?


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:45 IST)
What sound system is Hero No. 1 recorded in?


rang (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:47 IST)
Davidbhai, How do you react to the findings of the underworld connections to the film industry. Why cant the film industry boycott such people with connections.


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:49 IST)
hit music is NOT necessarily good music


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:51 IST)
Please don't direct anything apart from comedy; anything else will also turn into a comedy


BigB (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:52 IST)
When will Raju Raja Ram and Bade Miya Chotte Miya be ready for release, David?


Bazigaar (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:54 IST)
Davidji, aap 'Govinda No. 1' kab bana rahe hain. Ek Govinda ke naam pe special film hona chahiye, na?


BigB (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:54 IST)
How is it working with the BIG B?


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 21:54 IST)
I just watched Judwaa on a pirated VCD (I'm so sorry, but its your problem to stop piracy)and I actually found it funny. It could be slicker though


krishnav (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:0 IST)
What are your comments about the underworld connections in the film industry


BigB (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:0 IST)
Hey David, please tell me what is "Raju Raja Ram" about?


Ram Balram (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:0 IST)
How does being an editor help you with your films? Do you edit your own films?


hemant (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:2 IST)
do you think it is necessary to add some "nonsense" to make your film better?


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:3 IST)
So do you really earn a lot more money by using better sound systems?


ravi (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:4 IST)
With such a massive film following in our country, do you think our films will ever have a worldwide following, comparable to Hollywood movies?


BigB (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:4 IST)
HEY DAVID, IS GOVINDA YOR FAVOURITE ACTOR?


Bazigaar (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:7 IST)
David, now u should make one film 'DIRECTOR NO 1' after no 1 success.


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:10 IST)
Before you even think about releasing movies worldwide, think of the contents. As far as I know, Hindi films are only mocked at abroad.


anurag (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:11 IST)
Can you tell us an interesting incident with Govinda and Karishma on your set? Since they are good friends there must be some sort of practical jokes going around when they work together? *smile*


Sanjay (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:11 IST)
Mr Dhawan: Any other hobbies besides films??


BigB (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:12 IST)
David, Which project of yours are you most excited about?


nmalhotra (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:13 IST)
Are Govinda + Karishma indeed the pair u r most comfortable to work with? How do u rate Anil?


Prateek (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:14 IST)
Mr Dhawan: Sorry for joining late: You believe in the principle of HUM DO HUMARE DO :) :)


Prateek (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:17 IST)
Mr Dhawan: Who are your favourite directors, India as well as abroad??


anurag (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:18 IST)
David >> What is your favourite scene? (NOT from Deewana Mastana since we've not seen it) but from other movies. I especially like the scene from Raja Babu when Govinda and Shakti Kapoor are dancing (with Shakti's string hanging out of his shorts) *laughing*


DADATHAKOOR (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:19 IST)
Hey David, how's it going buddy ? Don't you think your Govinda - Karishma couple is getting kinda repetitive /stale?


Sanjay (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:19 IST)
MS David Dhawan:: Do you find time with your husband as I feel he is the busiest director in the film industry, isn't it???


anurag (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:19 IST)
David: Tumne pyar se mujhko Aik baar keh daala hai YAAR to nibha dena *laughing*&


Mademoiselle (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:19 IST)
David: A new heroine, huh! In that case...I'd like to volunteer! *laughing*


Akhlaq (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:20 IST)
Davidji: Now that you have mastered the art of entertainers are you planning to make any serious or "different" films?


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:21 IST)
What's your favourite Hollywood film, David?


anurag (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:21 IST)
David >> Don't take Madaemoiselle, she can't ACT AT ALL! Trust me! Yeah if you want to take her for a "mother" role then it's ok! *laughing*


DADATHAKOOR (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:22 IST)
Hey David > how about working with Kajol , she's quite talented , Don't you think ?amongst the men who do you rate as the better actors.


krishnav (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:23 IST)
David what is your opinion about the film FIRE


anurag (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:23 IST)
David: Don't you feel you're doing way too many movies simultaneously. Doesn't this hurt your creative juices? How can you be creative when you're working on so many projects simultaneously. For example, look at Yash Chopra (my fav director) he works on 1 film in 2 years and look at the quality of his films! *smile*


Kavita (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:26 IST)
*running in*...hope i'm not too late.......


DADATHAKOOR (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:26 IST)
David > which is your all time favorite hindi movie ?..all time I mean all time ....Don't say well there are many ...ultimate pasand batayiye !


krishnav (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:26 IST)
Dont you think atleast one out of every ten moives you make should be close to reality & Quality and not entirely behind making money.


Mademoiselle (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:26 IST)
David: Anurag is just jealous of my superior acting talent! **sticking my nose up in the air**..but okay..*sigh* I guess if you take me...you'll have to take him too as the hero..lekin only a side hero, mind you! **laughing really hard**


Akhlaq (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:27 IST)
Davidji: have you started any new films in the last 6 months?


anurag (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:28 IST)
David >> I want to be the villian! NOT the hero! *laughing*


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:28 IST)
I think something like Liar Liar is a good idea, so long as there is no blatant plagiarism.


Prateek (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:30 IST)
Mr Dhawan: Why did you join films? Is it for money or you enjoy to shoot???


anurag (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:30 IST)
David >> You didn't answer my question about some funny incident with Govinda and Karishma on your set!


Kavita (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:31 IST)
*excited*...new plot?....if you are you SERIOUSLY looking for ideas, we could REALLY help you out mr. dhawan............


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:31 IST)
throw in a few songs and it will become longer


Akhlaq (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:32 IST)
Davidji: What are some of your forthcoming films like HASINA MAN JAYEGI, CHAL MERE BHAI, BADE MIYAN CHOTE MIYAN about? How far in production are these films?


krishnav (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:33 IST)
Abroad, Indian movie is a subject of laugh . What do you think about it (like dancing in the fields , changing dresses during dances etc) ?


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:34 IST)
Yup I just realised it wouldn't suit a typical Hindi film - well unless maybe by directors like Kundan Shah or Aziz Mirza.


Akhlaq (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:35 IST)
Davidji: Are you making any other movies with AKSHAY KUMAR? how about a 2 hero project with Govinda and Akshay, it's a new combination


Mademoiselle (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:35 IST)
I think if you make a movie like "Liar Liar" with Shah Rukh Khan..it will be a total disaster! SRK already copies a lot of Jim Carey's gestures (EX.DDLJ..the piano scene) and hams a lot. I think the audience is tired of seeing SRK in that way!


DADATHAKOOR (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:36 IST)
Dvid > tumne severe pelvic jhatke kaise master kiye ?.....kuch tippanni kariye !


anurag (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:36 IST)
David >> You seem to work on a lot of movies simultaneously. Doesn't this hurt your creativity? Look at Yash Chopra he works on 1 movie in 2 years and look at the product he produces. Comment?


Shweta (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:36 IST)
Mr Dhawan: Which is your dream project? Don't you feel like making a film say like MUGHAL-E-AZAM?


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:37 IST)
Not all films should be about escapism. Otherwise what will happen to filmmakers like Mansoor Khan or Vidhu Vinod Chopra


Akhlaq (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:37 IST)
Davidji: so will you ever try your hand at production like RAJ KANWAR did or will you stick to direction?


Mademoiselle (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:38 IST)
David: Do you ever pay attention to what the critics say about your films? How do you handle it?


Akhlaq (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:39 IST)
Thanks Shweta I was wondering that too, will we ever see a huge canvas DHAWAN project or is RAJU-RAJA-RAM going to be that?


Raj (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:40 IST)
Dhawan: I can't stand songs like San San...whatever crap and A Aa Ee.....I mean GET A LIFE!


Mademoiselle (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:41 IST)
Rest well David! And Good luck! *smile*


Shashank (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:41 IST)
Davidji: How do these words come to your script writer which are so cheap and vulgar and often used in your films?? Like Chaddi, Nadda, Aaoonnn- The Shakti Kapoor 's style?? Don't you get some other decent words??


anurag (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:41 IST)
Good Night David and good luck! *smile*


DADATHAKOOR (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:42 IST)
David > Do you think Indian audiences will ever accept explicit language in Hindi movies ..like Maa, bhen ki gaalis. In Hollywood once a movie is rated R then all four letter stuff is cool. Hindustan kab khul kar gaali dega !..Imagine the most they say is kutte kamine ..etc..?


anurag (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:42 IST)
What Steve Martin film? There IS no such film! *frown*


Akhlaq (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:42 IST)
Davidji: I don't want to spoil the ending for others, but does a certain "Saajan" character get JUHI in the end of DEEWANA-MASTANA?


Akhlaq (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:44 IST)
goodluck David, i'm sure both of your films will be hits


DADATHAKOOR (Thu Oct 9 1997 22:45 IST)
Yaar david > tune jawab hi nahin diya , jaa khush reh !


Govinda (Thu Oct 9 1997 23:37 IST)
*$ Bye Bye Hero no 1, Rajababu, Dulara, Coolie No 1 #*


re (Fri Oct 10 1997 2:36 IST)
I have an idea for a potential Bollywood script. How do I show it to a film producer?


Nazir Patel (Fri Oct 10 1997 10:22 IST)
David you excel making comedy movies would you excel making a tearjerker and how about making one with the likes of Dilip, Rekha and Dharmendra along with Rakhi in a comedy?


Nazir Patel (Fri Oct 10 1997 10:28 IST)
David I met Govinda a few years back in British Airways first class on way to London from Bombay and he is a real good fellow, genuine and sincere. And a Michael Jackson fan. We had a long chat about music and songs and Lataji and all that dubbing controversy re. Radha Ka sangam. And he was quite supportive of Lataji. Anyway, you are lucky to be working with a very hard working and friendly star.
