Businessmen on the Silver Screen

Hollywood loves to hate businessmen. They are portrayed as evil and heartless individuals, whose focus begins and ends with money. They are shown to be greedy for material wealth, while disregarding the needs of the common man. Check out this interesting perspective by Ken Shepherd here.

Does Bollywood follow the same trend? Remember Shakaal in Shaan and Mogambo in Mr. India? The men who are concerned with personal pleasure over all else? What about the rival fathers of the lovers in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak? They could have been in any profession but they play businessmen in the movie.

What is it that makes businessmen easy to hate? We want to know what you think. Do post your comments... the more, the merrier!
