Do we just sit down and crib “this is how things are, and this is how it will be” Come on People! Bid good bye to your resigned and cynical attitude. Let’s rise up and take action. Yes, the walls might get pasted again with mindless graffiti and posters of B grade pictures. But with vigilant twitterers spying we could prove that we don’t live in a land of lawlessness. And playing with the law of the land and raping the creativity of the cities is not something that anyone would tolerate. I wish to assert that we aren’t against the movie industry or bollywood at large. We enjoy films with absolute My plan of action is as follows. 1) Write/call to the producers and the production house who look after the publicity design in most cases 1. Swadeshi Entertainment for “Canvas”, (looking for details) 2. Eros international for “Aladdin” @ + 91 (22) 40538500 email: customerservice4@erosintl.com 3. Gair (looking for details) 4. Blockbuster Movie Entertainers London dreams (info@blockbustermovieentertainers.com ) 2) Call Municipal Commissioners Shri Rajiv R. A. Additional Municipal Commissioner City Office: 2262 0809 Residence: 2368 5676 Source: http://www.mcgm.gov.in/irj/portalapps/com.mcgm.aDisasterMgmt/docs/DirectoryListMC.pdf 3) Meet on a day and rip off the posters ourselves if no action is taken. 4) Have a constant vigil by twitterers . What’s happened now, could happen again. Be the citizen Blog-Activist. 5) Speak about this, or at least, copy this blog and paste it in your web spaces… be it facebook notes, twitter docs or blogs. 6) Send this as a forward. #ProtestAgainstVandalization keep up the pace. It doesn’t matter if you participated in #TheWallProject or not. You could help your city by simply protesting.

Seriously this is so embarrassing! All I keep reading is how they insist it wasnt done on purpose and how they are more than willing to repaint the wall but that doesnt fix the problem. And just a mere apology is not sufficient -- what about the time an effort these painters have put into painting the wall? Who is going to give them that back? They should be punished,fined and if not their films should be boycotted. http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2780 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:26:22 +0000 http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2780 Being a Delhiite, when i heard about this on Sunday i thought to myself, wow......this is sooooo cool. The pictures told us that people care. But it was such a shame to see what happened to all that effort. No words can do it justice. And apologies are just lip service. http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2778 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:11:36 +0000 http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2778 I feel somewhere that this might be done for publicity. You guys are twitting this, asking people to spread the word, but in return the movie makers are getting free PR. I hope they take a severe action, but I am not sure if they really care. http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2775 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:13:21 +0000 http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2775 High time that someone deals strictly with companies who indulged in such mindless & cheap publicity acts.. the best will be to find that company's office and repaint it inside out and make it look like a art gallery http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2770 Amarjeet Kumar Singh Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:16:00 +0000 http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2770 This is only the publicity stunt, we should teach them lesson. http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2769 Yogesh Waradkar Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:08:08 +0000 http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2769 Art was the part of the wall, until people with holes in the head came and made this stupid call. The license of these companies should be canceled. People are not mad to put in so much effort in creating such a beautiful wall.. Really shameful act by the AD companies!! Where are the authorities ?? Gone on vacation ?

Though they have millions to spend on making movies with absolutely no sense of script and story but they dont have enough money to buy proper space on billboards to put their posters. Also pasting posters on the wall without taking necessary permissions is illegal. its also the job of the civiv authorities and the BMC, its high time they should take matters in priority and stop ignoring these issues. and start putting BAN on these type of publicity. http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2767 Saif Diwan Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:38:30 +0000 http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2767 Hello we don't want their apologies. I mean, what the hell! So much of hard work and time has gone behind the painting. And its for a cause for God's sake. Boycott Ritesh Deshmukh and Sujoy Ghosh!

Alas, the way it goes here, authorities have 2 blind eyes and 2 deaf ears. I'd rather Ritesh Deshmukh and Sujoy Ghosh use their clout to have the offending Aladin posters removed. As for the other posters, the wall painters must be given the honor to these off with their own hands. The authorities are incapable of action, period. http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2759 Dinesh Lalvani Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:38:27 +0000 http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/blog/post/pradnya-ranaware/plenty-reaction-but-no-action-the-great-wall-project-at-tulsipipe-road.html#comment-2759 This is an embarrassment for the Mumbai authorities. The topic is trending on Twitter (#wallproject), the newspapers, TV stations and online media are all over it, yet we can't seem to get it taken off. Can we have a name and shame for the company responsible for this? Not the guy who stuck the poster on, but the company that told him to do so in the first place.
