Amitabh Bachchan has again been put in the dock as he is summoned on 29th November by the Panaji court here in Goa for alleged violation of anti-tobacco laws. An NGO here filed a case against him. The NGO has alleged that he violated anti-tobacco laws by appearing in an advertisement of Anchor Daewoo India which featured a photograph of him with a cigar from the film Family.

The film was released in Jan 06 after the law banning smoking in films active from Oct 05. And I remember Amitabh had then issued a public apology for smoking in the film. Though he dsnt in his real life.

Hmm… the hoardings seem to have been put up all along the highway from Margao to Mapusa. I hvnt got a chance to go out and see though. With preparations for the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in the final phase here in Goa, and which is to begin tomorrow, fans of Amitabh will surely be lined up at the high court here to have a glimpse of their so dear superstar! I wish I could also be there… But Uh! Sem exams starting the next day!

I do accept that having any scene of an actor smoking should be left upto the creative independence of the film director. Ask filmmakers how suffocating it is otherwise. But using the film stills for marketing other commercial products like in this case is certainly what should be brought to the court’s notice.

As if Mr.Amitabh Bachchan didnt have any other photographs to be put up for the ad hording???!!! And in what way does Amitabh’s smoking endorse Anchor Daewoo’s electronic appliances?

Smoking kills!!! And we really can’t make it out to be a ‘cool dude thing’.

All I can say is good work NGO!

Wondering what it has to do with Mimoh? Aah… I was just checking out my pal Deep’s Blog, a reputed blogger, and stumbled upon this post – Hamara Mimoh. Hmmm… after the recent bans on blogs, I didn’t want to see Deep’s blog ending up in a ban if at all Mithun Da had any sort of ‘Political Contacts’. ;) So I thought of helping Mithun Da with his son Mimoh’s makeover. :)

The sure thing this guy needs, is a decent haircut. So I logged on to www.makeoversolutions.com, chose a few hair styles, worked them out in photoshop, and this is what our new bollywood HER[O] Mimoh looks like!

The Real Mimoh:

Suggested Mimoh’s:

Hmm, Mimoh, looks like u are already into popularity by running into blogger’s posts… success is no far ‘beta’. I too have done as much as I could do for you. Hope you liked your new hair style options. ;) Do consider them before you try to work in any movie. Now I can only pray to god that you can atleast ACT! Goodluck Mimoh! :)
