Idiotic Promotion

Our friend (not a great friend of some bollywood colleagues) Aamir Khan is up to his antics again.



This time, in order to promote his film THREE IDIOTS (he being one of them - why did he not perform all the three idiots himself? One wonders.) he is visitng various places in India with a dress change tactic.

The tactic is obviously not intended to hide his identity or his idiosyncracy at all. In fact, he is going out of his way to make sure that media is made aware of all his moves and his visits to various places is given good coverage.

No wonder, his arch adversary Khan Shahrukh is not amused and is passing snide remarks against Khan Aamir. Other rivals may just be waiting for the right opportunity to give him a jab here or a jab there.

The media, like the fools they sometimes appear to be, eagerly gobble up such opportunities and give him free publicity, just to fill up their own time slots. One suspects that media must be charging him normal advertisement rates.

Judging by the manner in which our public also rushes to see such movies simply based on idiotic publicity stunts, Aamir Khan and the likes of him laugh all the way to the bank.

Let us hope that the public will become wiser and more mature, unlike those who indulge in such stunts only to fool the people.

  1. Aamir has his own eccentricities.Yes,the media also plays up everything -even the print media-they have columns by celebs ! Really,people like us are just left out-no outlet for saying what we want in print also.
    Let us wait & watch how the movie has shaped up -worth all this publicity ?!
    I will feel sorry for Chetan Bhagat if the movie fails.

  5. To me it appears they are fooling the general public and now the rescent episode involving the writer is nothing but a stage mangedgimmic to create in the eyes of the people the craze. But as a whole the movie is worth enjoing
