Hello!
You may probably be very interested to know how one can make real money on investments.
There is no need to invest much at first.
You may begin earning with a sum that usually goes
on daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one company's work for several years,
and I'll be glad to share my secrets at my blog.

Sarath,

Was not defending this video-maker (is it still Lok Seva Sanchar Parishad) but was trying to analyze the reason they chose many cine-artists from all over the nation to deliver the message.

Masala movies are made with the only objective of making profits (not for artistic expression). This video attempts to unify a nation at a time when every hillock and hamlet wants

@Anonymous

Thats a interesting argument which always pops up if there is a masala commercial movie which most of the people around us 'don't like' , the movie is for the 'masses'. And where are these so-called masses? Somewhere in India..I guess ? and who are we ? MassLESS maybe ?

I understand the impact of movie stars. From that point of view one bachan

Too much bollywood imho. The previous one was far better. At least we got Yesudas and Mammooty instead of a mahout this time! :-)

Balu, Sarath,

This video is for the masses. To make them feel they are part of one and the same nation. Movie artists and sportstars are revered in India and can make significant impact on the masses.

This video is not a video to recognize outstanding individuals in India in various fields.

For this reason, the selection of individuals for this video is very

2010-01-27T03:03:26.121Z

I agree with Sarath, people from other cross sections should also be there. Also in the old one, stress was given more to showcase the cultural diversity of India by presenting the song in different languages. In the new version, the extended the song, only to showcase some movie actors.

2010-01-27T00:33:09.058Z

Interestingly this seems to be largely dominated by the movie+music artists for 90% of the length of both parts combined. The sports bit in the 2nd part seems to have been added like an afterthought!

Should have given more time for sportspersons and where are all the corporate or industrialists ? They should have been given some time too....atleast Tata and maybe Narayanmurthy should

2010-01-27T00:05:32.634Z

One thing to be noted....the instrument A R Rahman is using in this is called 'Continuum'. Its a newly developed instrument in University of Illinois. As you can see the way Rahman plays it can produce continous variation in the pitch of a note (by x, y movement of the finger and pressure on the surface) which a conventional piano lacks. Conventional piano produces pitch variation only

2010-01-26T23:21:54.136Z

The Older version is better. I feel this is more a bollywood dominated video. There is very little national integration. Deepika, Abhishek Bachan, Salman Khan, and some similar profiled actors need not be there. Its sad that Sachin Tendulkar, Vishwanathan Anand, Dr Kalam, was not included in this video. The older version did have the song sung in different languages. In short, I feel that the new

2010-01-26T18:47:30.558Z

What I liked best was the passing of the baton from one generation to the next- Anoushka, Vijay Yesudas etc performing with their parents (did we see Rahat Fateh Ali Khan? not sure). It is awesome that the rich tradition survived the cellphone generation. From the video, it seemed like there was hardly any change in India 20 yrs. The ghats of Ganga and Hooghly look the same and so does the

Really good attempt!! and so With the times!! But I liked the older one better too probably because we grew up with that...But we never move away from film stars do we??

Fabulous isn't it?

I saw the preview last night but the video was due for release only today. Caught it early morning but still the old one carries more charm :)
