#True Salman Fans
At present … Shivaay v dil is like AJ vs arjit singh
I’ve seen it as I live in France and I can assure you that this is a masterpiece, but not for masala lovers. This one is a piece of art !
Ajay fans who make fun of Karan Johar for promoting “gay” behavior, for them note Ajay in competition is supporting “lesbian” behavior. This movie produced by Ajay has lesbian kissing and topless scene of Radhika Apte. I watch that scene daily before sleeping.
this type of film only earn award not reward lol
Ajay Devgn = Desi Dhakkan.
The film is leaked
Looking this movie have a awesome story
This is called really class. Neither media created nor paid critics like some guys always doing. salute AD sir. Thanx to u like great attempted shivaay gift us this diwali. Otherwise kuch logo ne to had hi kar di he romantic movie ki. Shivaay roxxxx
Har har mahadev
She crossed limited!! :'( I did not expect it from her.. very disappointed.
Sounds interesting. Wish it had bigger actresses. similar movie Lajja was awesome
This film promotes lesbian behavior and topless scene of Radhika. Shame who promote such movies
Waiting for #Shivay. Har Har Mahadev
This film has a shameful lesbian kissing and topless scene. Those people who make fun of karan johar for showing gay roles in films should also fun of producer Ajay for showing lesbians. Otherwise stop acting as saints and hypocrites.
This film is leaked on internet i download this movie
I am ajay fan and full supporting shivaay but I did not like when I read today comments on an article that only ‘real and true men’ will watch and support Shivaay. Mates we are ahead and will win this clash. why this stupid stereotyping? every one has different like/dislike/taste. Saying shivaay is for men and ADHM for women is ridiculous. Stop also this culture talk in films. Do ajay fans here know that Parched film has a topless scene of Radhika Apte and a lesbian kissing scene. Ajay attended the premiere of movie with his daughter. Parched has a great plot about women empowerment but topless /lesbian kissing scene is not our culture. What I want to say that this is art and films will made on different topics in different ways. Some topics we will like and some not. If any aspect of film is not in line with our culture/ ideology just avoid watching it. I personally dislike extra marital relationship based films so i will not simply watch it instead of crying about such films. If some one wants to watch it then it does not mean that person supports extra marital relationships or is promoting it. How about a person who enjoyed watching “American Psycho” movie in which a psycho kills people. Anything wrng with it? This is cinema and not possible that we all enjoy the same genre. Shivaay will win this clash easily mates and we do not need any stupid stereotyping to promote Shivaay.
Radhika apte is naked in this movie
I alredy seen this movie
And this is awsme
I rate this 10 out of 10
and this movie is not lesbian movie.
@ Ajay Devgn, thanks for supporting small budget and social message films.
Though majority of the people loved the social message of the movie, some could only remember and point out the nudity in the movie…..what a shame. I hope these guys grow up. If a women bares it becomes non-culture, but your heroes can do whatever they want. What a double standard.
Guys who talks about culture have not even 1% idea of real Indian culture. The idea of nudity being improper only came after the moghuls and british came to India. This country was the most free minded country of all in the world, until it was destroyed and filled with religious nonsense from outsiders. Shame on you guys. Go out and research the rich history of this country and you will understand what I am saying.
@ Sambudha Ranbir
