Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation and announced that the government was invalidating Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes, the film industry united in praising the PM and the government for the war against black money and corruption.
From legends like Amitabh Bachchan, Rajnikanth and Kamal Hassan, to filmmakers and actors like Karan Johar and Anushka Sharma, here’s what Bollywood said about the big announcement last night:
Amitabh Bachchan: The new 2000 Rs note is PINK in colour…the PINK effect!!!

Ashish Chowdhry: I admire u @narendramodi Speechless. Superb. Stunning.
On one hand we have a great PM like narendra modi who is doing everything to make his country great in true sense and on the other hand in USA, we got elected the worst, least deserving and worst person like donald trump as the 45th president some one who doesnt know how to respect women, doesnt know any constitution, racist person, and list goes on. Shame on USA for electing that clown as president.
This is historic good step by Bjp government & P M Modi corruption will stop & those have black money they should fear .
Trump won , all peaceful terrorist is in danger ,now srk too will think 1000times to visit usa and he may can make my name is not khan
Btw I’m extremely happy and relaxed after the landslide victory of Trump in USA Presidential elections.
Doesn’t mater if he cuts the job of foreigners (which will ultimately hit thousands of IT professionals like me) or comes up with more strict and stringent visa/immigration policies, but if he fulfills his pre-election promises made on “Radical Islamic Terrorism”, then I will consider his election worth.
Hope he cuts all the grants to Pakistan – which was ‘intended’ to be used in fight against terrorism- though was being used otherwise i.e. for funding the terrorist activities against India.
how can the people coming from another country for treatment can exchange cash ? what they require ?
what about black money in abroad
Good decision by Government of India.
Bad news for corrupt people and black money holders.
But Aam Aadmi( Mango People) face very problem regarding change of money ? 100.
Common people how to handle banking issues.
what about poor family’s especially living in remote areas… slums… farmers… one thousand note equals lakh in value for then.. what they will do. kya khayega…. bank mai line lago.
Its harassment to poor peoples…. no problems to any leaders as their is safe in foreign bank especially Swiss bank.
If you have guts #PM , bring back black money deposited at swiss bank.
Good decision… but sudden n strict decision will harassed poor peoples only.
Congradulation Donald Trump now u are President of America . Yogi Adityanath will be very happy some fireworks from him .
KRK also praise the no1 critic with 100% success ratio
@ akki- i know how to recover my money. I have single note of 500 so i don’t mind but you will see extra ordinary traffic in banks so get ready for that.
I think this plan was done after the Modi Ji won the election, that why last year he said open your bank account. and he executed the plan on right time after Diwali. Hatts off to Modi Ji.
What about the big sharks of Black Money who has stashed their wealth in swiss and foreign banks. What about the Black money pumped into constructions and foreign investments ? That will be the bigger concern that this. I guess many ministers and politicians may be cursing PM for this step because they are the one who hides too much of Black money. And some poor people like small vendors who do not have any bank accounts will suffer too.
I Salute from my heart to the legendary PM of India…Mr. N.Modi…
What !! Today Salman didn’t twtt a single word abt this move ??.cri…
this not 1st time in india….in 1978 janta party also done this…..
there is no benifit in long run….its effect will remain only for 1-1.5 yr….
No effect on corruption….. because now sarkari babus take bribe in form of new currency….if they took 100 rs for some work in past,they will double that.. because they lost some money in the form of black money…?
if there is lots of black money in,form of currency,in beginning there will be deflation…..after periode of 1 year steep rise in inflation…..
wait and watch…
.
Look whoz talking ???
Raj kundra..who was accused n tried for match fixing..wasnt black money involved in that.
I would like to spare panama papers accused because of obvious reasons.
[4:44PM, 11/9/2016] Aàmî? ?hâ?: Perfect Move…
As its announed 500&1000 notes getting invalid, people will forget Najeeb, BhopalFakeEncounter, Ndtv ban and all the failures and corruption of govt. And each one will be concerned for currency notes..
[4:44PM, 11/9/2016] Aàmî? ?hâ?: Inconvenience to common people who will
start running to the nearby bank to
exchange the 500 and 1000 currency
notes.
Cost of replacing the 500 and 1000 Rs notes.
If all this additional money (a
spectacular Rs.6.666 trillion) had to be
printed using Rs.100 notes, it would cost
RBI about Rs.11,900 crore, which is
more than a four-fold increase. This is
without taking into consideration the
increased costs of operating ATMs (since
they would need to be refilled more
often), and of handling money in
general. Scrapping Rs500, Rs1000 notes
a costly idea
Very difficult for more than half the
population who are not well versed with
the card transactions.
This move deeply impacts the working
sections of society: drivers, maids,
cooks, electricians, plumbers. Anybody
who provides services in the informal
sector and depends on monthly or bi-
monthly cash payments.
How do you expect a chai wallah to
leave his business and stand in a queue
to deposit these notes in bank?
What will happen to the common man
who finds out that the note he is having
is a fake one? How is the Govt going to
handle such situations?
The small businesses will be affected at
least in the shorter run.
Jan Dhan scheme, UPI/digital payment
stack and payment banks are still in the
nascent stage. It will be a long time
before rural India moves to completely
cashless transactions. In the short-term,
people in rural India who have a
significant amount of Rs 500 and Rs
1000 notes, but no official form of
identification will have a tough time in
exchanging their notes.
The big fish will be left out whose black
money is in the form of foreign
currency, gold and stashed away in tax
havens.
All the questions and doubts are answered on the RBI website.
People who cannot find an excuse to blame the government, come up with silliest of excuses.
The surprise element is that was needed to weed out black money.
It is a masterstroke.
Even though there is a little discomfort to the common people, all of them do accept the fact that it is for the greater good viz., Nation.
It is not only the duty of the army men on the border to be in discomfortable situation to save the nation.
When we need to clean the system, every Indian should stand up to the task. All the petty and silly excuses are to be forgotten and stand together.
Let us not narrow our thoughts and vision on the basis of political parties and religions. Nation and national interest should come first.
Just two words – Jai Hind !!!
raj kundra is talking about black money, seriously, he has crores of black money
@Rickshaw : 1:19
Please type your complete id as ‘Rickshaw wala’ and do you think Salman is some astrologer or baba ? He wished Hillary because it is his opinion and his choice to support whoever he wants. No Salman fan in sense said Hillary will win just because he has tweeted. Fools like you call others as illiterate and Rickshaw wallas but dont have IQ of even theli wala !!!!!!!!
What a idiotioc decision that has been.. the decision without thinkg of the poor and the middle class families… a Person takes out 400 rs. not from ATM to have food and the restaurant guy refuses to take the money…
When the exchange and new currency will get introduce people will try to overpower the week and loot the person.. what a brave decision … take it in ur ass
Good decision…
hi guys ! i’m from Iran and i don’t understand how it’ll help finishing corruption in India . can someone explain it to me plz?
Aam admi ke to l lageve
Hai
Meanwhile Shivaay crossed broken pankha today (domestic) collections. Indidice will you post any article on this ?
Kudos to @narendramodi ji for taking such a bold step. Appreciated a lot. For initial stage, we might face some difficulties but in the longer run we are going to be ever grateful to our dear PM for taking such bold decision which I believe will certainly bring changes for betterment and upliftment of our society. Just brilliant Sir.
