Reactions to reactions:

Instead of reviewing reviews of CONTRACT I decided to do that on my series of reactions henceforth. If the idea is to react to the reactions of various people on my thoughts and works then why should I give special attention to the Khalid’s and the Deepa’s of the world? I find more juicier, bitchier and insightful comments coming from others. Come on guys. Let’s have fun!

1. Words can make you or break you – at least that was what I was taught in grammar school.
Ans: I was bad at school and worse at grammar.

2. If only ideas and thoughts matter what is the logic behind “A film by Ram Gopal Varma’s” in the end.
Ans: I love to see my name on screen.

3. If you don’t need acknowledgement and perception, why do you seek attention?
Ans: I am like a kid.

4. Why do only stars get paid bundles and not the people who worked behind?
Ans: Money is never paid to talent or work. It’s paid to the names who get people to buy tickets.

5. Are you a follower of Ayn Rand’s objectivism philosophy?
Ans: Yes. But I rarely apply it.

6. I believe it takes more faith and persistence to become an atheist.
Ans: I really think that is a wonderful observation.

7. Do you read only crime sections in newspapers?
Ans: I definitely don’t read articles on politics and social welfare, and yes, I love watching pictures of sexy babes too.

8. What was the budget of Kaun?
Ans: Rs.75Lakhs shot in 12 days.

9. Why does an army man in Contract listen to a terrorist ranting about his purpose?
Ans: Because he found it interesting and that’s the point of the film.

10. In Contract why is a kid perched on the Commissioner’s desk?
Ans: I just called her and asked her and she told me that the kid is her younger sister’s son who came for holidays.

11. The lawyer Bhansali beats up an invisible woman.
Ans: She is not invisible. She is off the frame and that was intended to capture the kind of man Bhansali is.

12. Why is the gangster permanently stationed at sea with a family of intelligence officers and spice girl?
Ans: Either pay more attention or ask another viewer with more brains or better still don’t watch my films in future.

13. How can the protagonist finish off the entire gang in a jiffy?
Ans: It’s not in a jiffy. If you noticed it was shot in a suspended time.

14. Who killed R.D and the Home Minister?
Ans: The point was to leave a doubt in the audience’s mind which would be more interesting than to clearly tie-up all the loose ends.

15. Why did you engage in blasphemy by calling Contract a trilogy after Satya and Company?
Ans: I didn’t. The media dubbed it as a trilogy. I was only trying to highlight the variance in the concepts.

16. Contracts requires serious trimming?
Ans: Where?

17. What was Shama Sikander doing in the so-called item number in the party sequence?
Ans: Dancing.

18. Why did you make a film like Contract?
Ans: That is a secret.

19. Not bad… is not good enough.
Ans: Point taken.

20. Next time I will wait for one of those pathetic critics to review your film before I rush to see it.
Ans: That just explains how much more pathetic you are.

21. Who keeps financing you after you keep making such turkeys?
Ans: The same people who will never finance you for the classics you are planning to make.

	pochathirumal发表: Thirumal, Hi Its pleasure to share ur blog. This was conversation among my friends and myself,one of them was saying he is feeling nothing new how u have been carrying out ur movies these days.And he is fond of yash chopra and karan johar films too but he is not feeling bored while watching those movies. On the other day i was watching TV changing channels abruptly in searching of a programme and suddenly one of them said 'Some ramu movie is coming there,check it.Then i returened and it was Antham.(he took it with just a small glimpse of a camera angle). I know their sensibilities and their preffered movies.They r the front runners for CHIRU,BALAKRISHNA......movies(and they r well educated too). What i wanna say is,their reactions r saying that what the impact that u thrown on from ur movies.Starting from charecters,camera angles,plots etc. They r the decisive audience in this country and they r not feeling bored of those candyflose movies. Would u like to change format or presentation of ur movies in ur own style. whats ur take on this. 8 月 1 日
	CaseyChris发表: Greetings, once again! Forgive me for posting yet another comment, but I just had forgotten something I wanted to mention. The climactic gun-battle between Aman/Amaan and Sultan's gang reminded me (in a good way!) of the final confrontation between the Bishop gang and Mapache's soldiers in Sam Peckinpah's classic THE WILD BUNCH. That suspended beat, just after Aman shoots Sultan...the reactions...then the gunplay...nicely done! Bravo! The more I think on it..the more I like CONTRACT. Perhaps, that is one of the reasons the film isn't doing such great box office---it requires the viewer to pay some attention and to think (and I don't think that is a popular thing among moviegoers these days! ha ha!). I can't wait to watch CONTRACT once again! Viva Varma! 8 月 1 日
	CaseyChris发表: Greetings, Mr. Varma! As I had stated in my previous comment, I had been anxiously awaiting the chance to experience CONTRACT for myself. And thanks to the DVD which was just recently released here in the States, I finally had that opportunity, this evening. And my verdict is that CONTRACT is a fine bit of cinema, indeed! I know it all comes down to mere opinions and personal taste, but I truly do not understand why some people find the narrative confusing or why they take exception to the manner in which some events are played out in this film. I personally felt that the plot unfolded in a very clear and clever manner. I didn't think the film was at all boring or a mere re-tread of your past work. I don't see why people seem to think this film must be held up and judged against SATYA, or COMPANY, or any of your other works, for that matter. It is a different film and should not be viewed in the light, or shadow, of the others! In my estimation the film stands on its own merit. It was executed quite well and accomplished its mission (i.e., it was highly entertaining!). Having said all that, I must confess that I did find Adhvik Mahajan's line delivery annoyingly drab at times. But, at other times, this type of line delivery actually seemed to fit with the stoicism his character required. Apart from that minor quibble, I found the movie to be damn fine! It might not be a perfect film, but it is perfectly entertaining! But, of course, that is only my opinion. Good work, Mr. Varma---thank you very much!! Now..on to the next one! All the best, Chris 8 月 1 日
	saipraneethgouravaraju发表: watched contract, the movie idea was good but....dont think it is a suggestion, this is my opinion. your films are going in the same kind of screenplay and contract is not an exception. got bored with the monotonous one. please try to tell your stories in some other and fresh way. you are capable of doing it. who else can think in a different way than my fav RAM GOPAL VARMA. all the best and hope you react to my opinion. 8 月 1 日
	kailash Rao发表: RAM GOPAL VARMA NEEDS REST SERIOUSLY ...............

GET WELL SOON Regards Kailash Rao Borivali 7 月 31 日
	Sankalp 发表: Hi there RGV... well let me just ask you one thing... is Phoonk is a copied version of exorcist, the ring & omen ??? 7 月 31 日
	yr-fan 发表: hi rgv. i have been a lover of your movies since Shiva. with all your initial movies, you really made steady improvements and were all instant classics.In hindi, up until company and then later sarkar and sarkar raj, they have all been really great. AAG was painful, but i guess you will agree too. thats ok, you experiment a lot and something which you conceptualized did not actually translate onto screen. But just when I thought you turned it around and back in form with "sarkar raj", you come up with "contract". I liked the story of it, but not the actors, the lead actor has no expressions on his face and not to mention the rest of the cast. SATYA was brilliant because of the actors in it too. I think you need to take a break for a while and revisit your thought, that an idea is enough to make a movie. I think you strongly believe in the concept of just having an "idea". I cannot watch go down this "assembly line' production on movies , almost one - every month - pumping out movies one after another, to damage your reputation. you have a great name, great marketability, please dont keep making movies like a factory . take a break, write a great script or get a great group together and come back with a bang. please dont sarcatically reply to this one. I am sincerely giving you a suggestion. please do reply to my comment, since this is first time, I am writing one , though I have been reading your blog for a long time now. thank you. BV 7 月 30 日

	ajay发表: finally got to watch contract ... hope it sticks around in the theatres for another week.. want to watch it... primary reason.. the villains... goonga in particular.. and that scene "nanga is important... enjoy the situation"... the cacophony of the husband wife... was brilliant.... it hurt my throat to hear me... that's impact... and there are few filmmakers capable of achieving that kind of impact... to hell with those reviewers.. really.. am glad ur sticking to responding to 'aam admi' rather than those critics with their holier than thou attitude... (altho many of the site are no different!) contract was very different from satya and company... .. i wonder how ppl even think of calling it a sequel or part of a trilogy or anything.... its a more human story... its a story thats supposed to affect us.. not just hit us... its clearly seeking a different sort of an impact ... watched sarkar raj again... its still playing in noida (thank god for a freelancing career!!) ... might go again on thursday.. am afraid this might just be the last week... did u happen to watch aamir btw? and if u did wht did u think of it? do u really get time to watch movies? any plans of coming to delhi? switching to my wishful thinking mode ... I'd love to meet you and discuss a few movie ideas i have... two almost complete screenplays.... very different from the things u've been doing tho... lets see wht the future holds for us... looking fwd to phoonk... handwriten.livejournal.com 7 月 30 日

	dipu发表: Dear RGV This is my view about Sarkar Raj. Too much predictability ruins Sarkar Raj... Also there was no need for romantic angle between Abhishek and Ash. Please don't make Sarkar 3. Regards Dipu P.S.Can we get an Indian interpreation of "The Departed" from you? 7 月 29 日
	Aman发表: Mr. Verma, Do you get affected by some wave.. I mean some time you go behind Ghosts to a level that u make continuous movies on BHOOTS.. Then you remember Gangsters..u for them! sometimes u go mad behind people--u want them badly... Urmila, Antara,, Nisha... amitabh and so on... Are you eccentric? 7 月 29 日
	Anil发表: An interesting article I came across today. You MAY have fun reading it. The eccentric film maker Ramgopal Varma is one man who is known for his controversial statements and also for the hard hitting films he makes. Whether the movie clicks or not, it sure makes news and develops some sort of sensation that is relished for a long time. This time it is the turn of his latest release 'Contract' which conked at the box office but then it has now come into attention since a scene is shown in the movie which has bomb blasts in it and unfortunately, the recent bomb blasts at Ahmedabad has been done in the exact way. While uproar has already started as to Ramu has been giving ideas to terrorists on bomb setting and places of exploding them, the irony is this is not the first time such formula has been applied. Going back few years, the serial bomb blasts which were the master mind of underworld kingpin Dawood Ibrahim was on same lines and he ensured that people run from one place to another and set another more powerful bomb to get maximum casualties. So it is high time that people stop blaming and finding reasons to hit out at someone. They must be united and open their eyes in the real world to be alert and sense if something unusual is happening rather than sticking the gun out on a film maker.
