How not to do social media ‘analysis’: a lesson in two stories - #GeorgeSoros and #Bollywood

All to the courtesy of Associate Professor Joyojeet Pal @joyopal of @UMich and his intern @SheyrilAgarwal

Thread: Image
𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 1: #𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘀

Laced with data & gimmick, डाटा नंदन posted a thread on how Soros was vilified by Indian RW

But he DIDN’T challenge any facts at all. Not even that #Soros himself takes credit behind regime change

So what’s the point? Soros mustn’t be criticized!

2/11 Image
And what’s that appealing data and analysis?

He presented a collage of people reacting to the story on Soros as evidence of a coordinated campaign- a data taken in a course of just TWO DAYS!

Wishing you Good Night with the song "Abhi na jaao chhodkar" from the film "Hum Dono"( 1961), in the voices of Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle.
©️ with owners.
Narration: Capt Deepak Kanathey and Col Gyan Prakash.
#GoodNight #DevAnand #Sadhna #GoodNightSong #Bollywood
This fantastic song, that has become a memorable song indelibly etched on the psyches of music lovers across the generations, was a magical song when it was released in 1961. This song, picturised on Dev Anand and Sadhna has remained popular ever since.
Few people have much idea about the movie (Hum Dono) or about the music director (Jaidev), but the song is the one which was never forgotten, so there is no question of this song being not known to any music lover.

Considered one of the classic romantic comedies of all time in #Bollywood history, #Padosan starred a series of stars.

For the first movie of his own production, Mehmood wanted #KishoreKumar to play the role of one of the leads, Vidyapati. However, Kishore was not interested in acting and only wanted to sing.
#Mehmood followed him for one month and was convinced after spending a whole night in front of Kishore's house asking him to do the role.

Later while filming the #MeriBindoo song, the choreographer was not present. So Kishore Kumar stepped in and briefed the cast on the lyrics.

कुटिल चालबाज #Bollywood

पठान फिल्म में लड़की को भगवा रंग के कपड़े पहनाकर अश्लील हरकतें करवाना.यह हिन्दूओं के छल है फिल्म मेकर्स का.

क्योंकि फिल्म मेकर्स खुद यह बात फैलाई की हिरोइन भगवा रंग के कपड़े में अश्लील डांस कर रही है

और इस प्लान के मुताबिक विरोध शुरू हो गया और वालीवुड👇
के भंड़वों ने डमी ट्विटर अकाउंट से विरोध करवाया.

पुरे गाने में भगवा रंग का कपड़ा कुछ ही सेकेंड के लिए दिखता है.

अब आइए.
जब विरोध ज़ोर शोर से होगा तब प्लान के मुताबिक डायरेक्टर शाहरुख खान और पुरी टीम श.हिन्दू समाज की माफ़ी मांगेंगी और उतना सिन गाने से काट दिया जाएगा जो पुरे गाने
के अंत में सिर्फ ३.४ सेकेंड के लिए आता है
और सब हिन्दू ख़ुश हो जायेंगे कि,हमने अपने भगवा रंग की इज्जत रखवा दी अब फ़िल्म देखने के लिए खर्च करने में कोई समस्या नहीं और हिन्दू फिल्म हिट करवा देंगे

गाना तो कुछ दिनों से आया है जबकि , #Boycott_pathan ट्रेंड तो महिनों पहले से चल रहा है

A thread on "The Downfall of Bollywood Music".

Reasons:

1) Death of Song writing
2) Technological Advancement
3) Change in Audience's Taste
4) Rise of Regional Content
5) Rise of Alternative Music
6) Commercial factors

Do you remember 02 good songs to come out of Bombay based Hindi Music Industry in the last 5-10 years?

Something that you have gone back to and listened on loop!

Very hard to find some. Lets look at this decline where Bollywood songs no longer have a shelf life.
I am not going to give a brief here on Bollywood music, but it can be roughly categorized as following:

1950s/1960s: Semi Classical
1970s: Era of Pancham and R&R
1980s: Complete Crass Content
1990s: Neo Classical Revival
2000s: Remixes and fusion
2010s: Hooks & Taglines

Watched ~40 min of another #Bollywood antiHindu Masterpiece, starred by @SrBachchan. That girl (@iamRashmika who seem to be super modern) is dating a Muslim (obviously shown as innocent) comes home after mom (@Neenagupta001) death & LITERALLY HATES everything about Hindu rituals.
I cannot understand what kind of poisons did the foreign invaders & Marxists feed the Hindu people? Have we ever seen such kind of movies/documentaries about some other religions? The freedom Hindus were given, the ability to question, debate, discuss had been completely MISUSED?
Deep hatred of Hindu religion, traditions, rituals, culture are ingrained in every institution...HOW the hell did we reach this point? How did we put the Bollywood people in pedestal of "icons", "heroes", "celebrities" who spewed venom against Hindutva(ism) & continue to do so?

#November26 or the 26/11 will always be a date that I wouldn't forget. I did not experience the terror attack but my extended family did. In fact that family broke!

It was my father's maama living in #Mumbai , he lost his life in the blast that ripped through the train
..and I saw the family suffer quite a lot post that, selling their only property, eldest son & daughter in law passing away and my father's maami having no place to go but to an old age home!
I'm sure many families would've gone through worser times post the #MumbaiTerrorAttack
What hit me hard was the absolute lack of will to exact revenge by the Central Govt of the day! - BTW I was apolitical at that time

What hit me harder was the Hindu terror angle trope that Congress played and #Bollywood supporting it!

Bhawanrao 'Balasaheb' Pantpratinidhi (1868-1951) who ruled Aundh in #Maharashtra was an unusual king. His work at reforming criminals & convicts inspired V.Shantaram's acclaimed ‘Do Aankhen Barah Haath’ (1957). Balasaheb was born on 24 October 1868
#history #Marathi #films #art
Unlike rulers who tried to cling to power even when the end of British rule was evident, #BalasahebPantpratinidhi handed over the reins of the state to the people much earlier in an experiment inspired by #MahatmaGandhi. He also helped freedom fighters & revolutionaries.
In a sense, #BalasahebPantpratinidhi was among the reformist kings who tried to birth welfare states in colonial India. He was also associated with one of the most popular forms of exercises—the suryanamaskars.

#Brahmastra wipes out over ₹800 crore wealth of PVR and Inox #investors

businessinsider.in/stock-market/n…

By @jainrounak
Forget making back money, it looks like Brahmastra is taking down PVR & Inox investors with itself. With early reviews pouring cold water on #Brahmastra’s prospects, India’s largest theater chains PVR & Inox have cumulatively lost over ₹800 crore in market capitalization today.
In Indian mythology, #Brahmastra is known as a weapon of unstoppable destruction, which can only be stopped by its counterattack astra (weapon). Ironically, the movie could end up being a victim of the weapon it is named after.

रिमेकचं भूत
जेव्हा मी लहान होतो, तेव्हा आमिर खानचा 'गजनी', सलमानचा 'वॉन्टेड' आणि अक्षय कुमारचा 'रावडी राठोड' आला होता. त्या काळात रिमेक म्हणजे काय हे कितीतरी लोकांच्या गावी नव्हतं. त्यामुळे सीन टू सीन कॉपी केलेला चित्रपट आम्ही
बघायचो आणि अचंबित व्हायचो. त्या चित्रपटांनी जवळपास 100 करोड गल्ला जमवला. ही झाली 2011-12 पर्यंतची गोष्ट. नंतरसुद्धा हॉलिडे सारखे चित्रपट रिमेक होऊन येतच होते. हिटसुद्धा व्हायचे.
गोष्ट अशी झाली,की त्यानंतर भारतात OTT ने जम बसवला. Youtube तर होतंच. डब मूवी च्या
नावाखाली जिथे सेट मॅक्स वर नागार्जुनचा 'मेरी जंग: One Man Army', 'Don No. 1' यासारखे मोजके चित्रपट बघायला मिळायचे, त्या जागी आता बरेच मूळ चित्रपट,मग ते दाक्षिणात्य असोत किंवा जगभरातील कोणतेही चित्रपट उपलब्ध होऊ लागले. माझ्या मते शेवटचा सुपरहिट ठरलेला रिमेक 'Simba' आहे.

From #BoycottLalSinghChadha to #BoycottBrahmastra, every time a #Bollywood movie is announced, Twitter goes abuzz with the boycott trends.

Here are some things, that we should be thinking of boycotting instead of #BoycottBollywood

timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/spo…
1. Smoking

This is one habit that has absolutely no positive effect of any kind on anyone.

Why are we not protesting against it rather than boycotting a work of art and creativity - our movies!
2. Rape

It is the most violent thing you can do to a human being - physically and mentally.

Why are we still tolerant towards this evil?

THREAD on #AamirKhan and #Bollywood - In the last few years, there has been a sudden explosion of Bollywood actors/actresses taking political stances, specifically against @narendramodi and #hinduism - Lets look. (1) is the support they are receiving from those countries. /#1
(2) Secret Superstar & Dangal - Aamir Khan as a producer - garnered 60% earned by the top 10 grossers in China. #aamirkhan and @ayushmannk have benefitted most. Andhadhun’s Chinese earnings were close to 5 times the earnings from the rest of the planet, including India! /#2
@ayushmannk became politically vocal right after Andhadhun - Supported #CAA when condoned violence by tepid response - it was an insurrection as like #CapitolRiots which he and others called "protests". Andhadhun's 75% of its total global collections were ONLY from China! /#3

Gauri Khan says #Bollywood glamour becomes a baggage for business #women like her

@gaurikhan @bonitodesigns

businessinsider.in/business/news/…

By @Bhaktimakwana18
Starting a business is never easy, more so for women. It is hard to find validation and convince people that you mean business.

Movie producer turned interior designer #GauriKhan, who ventured into creating luxurious spaces has not had it easy with her brand Gauri Khan Designs.
In conversation with @BiIndia, #GauriKhan says it is difficult for people to have real faith in you. “There will be a lot of people especially in my field, when they will have faith in you it is because you are married to so & so but on the other hand it's a drawback.” said Khan.
