Those who counter Zanjeer's lack of intelligence with the ready advice of, "Hey it’s a masala movie so turn off your brain and enjoy", but I don’t have a switch to just turn my brain off. If I did, maybe I’d be make a film like Zanjeer instead of writing about it.

Shah Rukh Khan tweeted about the incident saying that it felt good to finally turn the page. (Or maybe he was reading a book. Who knows?) Now all I’m waiting for is Salman’s reaction where he tweets something insightful and heartfelt like “Ye dekho makkhi. Mazza aaya? Kbye.”
