Dabangg
fever
is
almost
like
DDLJ
phenomena.
It
isn't
a
fair
comparison
on
a
lot
of
levels
but
the
hangover
is
similar.
With
Dabangg
came
back,
the
long
forgotten
sweet,
innocent
love
story,
the
brave
hero
who
beats
up
the
bad
guys,
the
unforgettable
one
liners,
the
impromptu
song
and
dance
phenomena
and
a
story
line
that
urges
you
to
throw
rational
thinking
out
of
the
window.
With
a
lot
of
hooting
and
cheering
by
the
audiences,
the
abandoned
single
screen
cinemas
were
the
place
to
be.
An
Arbaaz
Khan
Production,
starring
Salman
Khan
with
Malaika
Arora
Khan
doing
the
perfect
item
number,
Dabangg
was
also
a
Khan
clan
film,
where
the
entire
family
participated
to
produce
this
box
office
phenomena.
Guess
who
is
irked
by
all
of
this?
It's
none
other
than
the
popular
socialite,
author,
columnist
and
self
appointed
film
critic,
Shobha
De.
This
correspondent
gives
you
a
low-down
on
all
that
happened
for
all
to
see.
She
speaks
her
mind,
she
has
ruffled
a
few
feathers
on
more
than
one
occasion
but
she
seems
to
revel
in
the
controversy
of
it
all.
She
has
written
about
celebrities
and
their
performances
on
numerous
occasions
and
at
times
received
flack
for
it.
But
she
honestly
couldn't
care
less.
She
has
perpetually
said
'au
revoir'
to
diplomacy
and
tact.
Post
the
release
of
I
Hate
Luv
Storys,
Shobhaa
didn't
spare
the
lovely
Sonam
Kapoor
or
Imran
Khan
and
even
director
Punit
Malhotra,
as
she
went
ahead
to
write
her
blunt
as
ever
review.
In
her
words
she
said,
"It
is
a
wonder
Karan
actually
approved
the
script
of
such
an
excruciatingly
pointless
film,
which
post-interval,
suddenly
takes
off
for
New
Zealand...one
is
ready
to
shake
up
this
bloke
called
Punit
Malhotra
(chief
villain)
and
spank
him
in
public."
Punit
Malhotra,
the
director
of
the
film,
responded
on
twitter
saying
"Guys
pls
(sic)
don't
take
Shobhaa
De
seriously.
She's
a
fossil
who's
getting
no
action
and
going
through
menopause." And
Sonam
responded
to
that
by
saying
"ha
ha".
This
didn't
happen
too
long
back
before
Shobhaa
decided
it's
time
to
rock
another
boat.
This
time,
she
took
a
jab
at
none
other
than
the
Khan
clan.
With
the
release
of
Dabangg,
what
also
came
out
was
Shobha's
bitter
review
of
the
film.
She
went
ahead
and
said
"The
one
scene
that
really
and
truly
created
history
and
will
go
down
as
an
astonishing
cinematic
moment
is
the
one
of
Salman
Khan's
shirt
tearing,
popping
and
flying
off
his
back...
all
by
itself!
The
shirt
deserves
a
special
award
for
performing
this
remarkable
feat
-
perhaps;
it
marks
a
first
in
world
cinema!"
She
continued,
"Those
looking
for
a
plot,
be
warned
-
it
is
flimsier
than
Munni's
(Malaika
in
a
sizzling
item
number
that
out-beedis
Bipasha's)
barely
there
costumes.
Both
are
'badnaam'."
Now
this
was
a
typical
De
humour
that
bordered
on
being
nasty.
During
the
time
of
'Id' Salman
got
a
lot
of
flak
for
making
statements
on
terrorism
and
26/11
terrorist
attack
in
Mumbai.
His
lack
of
diplomacy
and
articulation
rendered
him
apologetic
to
the
masses.
Shobhaa
De's
comments
on
the
situation
were,
"Salman
Khan's
shocking
statement
about
26/11
smacks
of
arrogance,
ignorance
and
plain
stupidity.
A
lame
apology
won't
do
Sallu
bhai.
Boycott
Dabangg."
There
is
just
that
much
anyone
can
take
lying
down
in
the
name
of
dignity
and
self
respect.
Shobhaa
De's
callous
comments
and
opinions,
quite
uninvited
though,
have
been
ignored
on
numerous
occasions
by
celebs
as
they
either
feel
its
giving
the
issue
too
much
importance
or
they
feel
it's
pointless.
But
a
certain
Khan
brother
had
just
about
had
it.
He
decided
that
it's
about
time
he
gives
it
back
to
this
self
acclaimed
moral
crusader
and
film
critique.
After
all
if
she
has
the
columns
to
showcase
her
opinions
he
has
twitter.
And
in
no
time
started
the
barrage
of
tweets
which
were
retweeted
by
the
general
public
who
love
Salman
Khan
and
epitomise
Dabangg.
Arbaaz
started
the
whole
discussion
by
addressing
his
followers
as
he
said,
"Hey
guys
what's
your
opinion
on
Shobha
De
a
writer
of
sleaze
and
pornographic
novels.
She
writes
a
lot
of
sh*#
about
Salman
and
Malaika.
Her
claim
to
fame
is
marrying
some
rich
industrialist.
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
3
or
4.
Pl
lemme
know."
Once
done
he
started
an
anti
Shobha
campaign
of
sorts
on
twitter
as
he
said
"Mr
De
hold
on
to
your
money
or
Shobha
at
60
can
still
compete
with
Elizabeth
Taylor...
One
thought
that
age
makes
you
wiser
but
unfortunately
it's
not
happening
in
the
case
of
Shobhaa,
who
is
60...
Shobhaa's
opinions
on
my
family
reeks
of
bias,
jealousy
and
frustration.
I
have
have
been
ignoring
her
comments
for
the
longest
time
but
no
more...
This
idiotic
woman
had
recently
said
ban
Dabangg.
Who
the
hell
is
she?
Is
she
the
god
damn
law?..
She's
a
frustrated
sleaze
writer.
That's
it!
If
this
woman
was
not
to
write
about
celebs,
she
would
not
even
be
entertained...
Honestly,
I
hate
to
give
people
like
Shobhaa
any
importance
but
she's
been
writing
personal,
biased
stuff
4
the
longest
time.
Enough
is
enough." Arbaaz
got
immense
response
from
his
followers
on
twitter.
