My respect for Anurag Kashyap<\/a> has just gone up significantly.<\/p>\n

Over at PassionForCinema, Anurag Kashyap, dialogue writer of Shakalaka Boom Boom<\/a> has apologized<\/a> for atrocities inflicted upon us.<\/p>\n

Quote:<\/p>\n

… worst is every time the promos come on air my daughter calls out to my maid and says, “shamsu..papa ki picture”\u009d and i try and tell her don’t say it out loud.. i hope she doesn’t tell her friends in school..or her teacher, or her school bus driver…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and then a little later<\/p>\n

…but then did i take so much interest in the film when it was going on.. no.. was i there to tell them where everyone was going wrong.. no..did i fight for it.. no..did i care..no..well..when you don’t care then this is what you get baby..commercial or not..when you make a choice you gotta care and i didn’t..i didn’t bother..when they called me i went..what they asked me to write..i wrote..i did not add anything to it..so all i can say for it is I AM SORRY and that is not enough..all i can say is never again..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After Black Friday<\/a> (which he wrote and directed) and Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.<\/a> (for which he wrote dialogues) I had a lot of respect for him. Amazing versatility! That came back crashing down after Shakalaka Boom Boom<\/a>. But, now he has gone and redeemed himself.<\/p>\n

It takes a clear-headed and courageous person to publicly admit that some of his\/her work is bad. (Maybe I am partial to such people – I recently blogged about Leslie McFarlane<\/a> the author of the early Hardy Boys books, and how he hated his work. Mildred Wirt Benson<\/a>, who wrote some of the early Nancy Drew books, appears to like her work, and I have less respect for her<\/a>.) But in the case of Anurag, I wonder how much easier this apology became because of the fact that the producers stopped paying him for his work. I wonder whether he would have done a similar apology if he was still on speaking terms with the producers.<\/p>\n

Whatever the nitty-gritty details, I think this is a great step. I also loved the fact that Anurag blogged about why he made Black Friday<\/a> and then diligently and thoughtfully answered most of the readers’ comments there. This is a celebrity who “gets” blogging. That is a rather rare phenomenon. I don’t know any other Indian celebrity in this category.<\/p>\n

Read his entire article<\/a>. And the comments – those are interesting too.
