The PROBLEM with SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE? 🤔 Vir Das dissects the issues with Indian representation in Hollywood films and shows, and why Irrfan was special! 🎬

@thevirdas Bro thinks he is a philosopher, yet what he says, has already been written by some woke rotten tomatoes film critic. Half baked ideas taking offence anywhere, akash from flagrant is more american indian than him yet he thinks appu should be celebrated

@thevirdas Ok who are again and how many movies did you make?

@thevirdas The thing is it’s not that the Indian accent is different across India. And what they portray is a very thick accent yhat is generalised. But those accents are quite different everywhere. His accent in Jurassic Park is the proper Indian accent and what Dopinder had in deadpool no

@thevirdas Good insight

@thevirdas I am sick of this shit. Learn the accent as well. Imagine you are learning Japanese or Chinese, or even Hindi for some. And you insist on deliberately speaking in weird accent and not learning proper pronunciation when you can. That's dumb.

@thevirdas N No I hi uni

@thevirdas yeh toh devmaanus nikla

@thevirdas So basically he's okay using that accent in his sets but it pisses him off when others use it. Hypocrisy much.
