well, i dont know what to say to people like you... you show all the signs you are decrying in your posts, namely ignorance, hypocrisy, patronising and idealism.
Ignorance, because, if you didn't know (clearly you don't), the film was a big hit thanks to the multiplexes... it even won a national award, which is very uncommon for films like these. It did pretty decent business too- it was declared a "surprise" hit when it first released and is today counted among films like "Bheja Fry" in terms of business they did- only it is a notch above them.
Then, Ranvir Shorey got noticed in this film and that was when his career kickstarted. Do you think he would have got so many mainstream roles by in mainstream movies if the producers were not convinced of his saleability (which they were, why? again- the success of KKG!)
Finally, have you met anyone who didn't like the movie?
So, OP, don't be presumptuous and patronising to people in thinking that you were the only one who discovered this gem and it is a pity that other people don't know about it. They do. And they are not busy telling the rest of the world that they know something we don't- unlike you of course.
And Mr. Bailey, after reading the above, you will quit being a hypocrite and patronising I hope. Why, hypocrite? Well, you talk about the need for getting out the pathetic frame of mind of idealism that is currently besetting much of our society and by extension, our movies, right?
Well, guess what you are being the same thing. Why? Because KKG has idealism and feel-good factor written all over it, even if it is presented realistically. It is this 'realism' that runs wools over the eyes of the viewer that it is in fact, a typical "make-believe" he/she is watching.
Where else, tell me, would a bunch of noobies take away land from a land shark and he wouldn't notice? Can it happen in the real world? NO!!!!
So, please THINK BEFORE YOU POST ANYTHING HERE! IT WOULD SAVE TIME- YOURS AND MINE!
