Is Hansal Mehta being a) bitchy, b) bitchy, c) bitchy, or d) funny?

Hansal Mehta who made Woodstock Villa is feeling dangerous. In his deliciously wicked blog entry (which we love) on passionforcinema.com, he talks about mediocrity in the industry.

He hauls up everyone from Amitabh Bachchan, to Aamir Khan and from Akshay Kumar to Anurag Kashyap. And yes, his friend and mentor Sanjay Gupta.

The director doesn't spare himself either! He writes, "Can the words of the man who celebrated mediocrity with his 'classic' Woodstock Villa and who made a mockery of teenage hormonal imbalance in the all-time-even-more-classic Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai be taken seriously?" You decide. Presenting excerpts.

On Amitabh Bachchan: Mr Amitabh Bachchan gives us his exalted opinion about Slumdog Millionaire. He did not like this depiction of Mumbai's underbelly by a white man. Come on dear sir, there is no real underbelly in this film. SM is an enjoyable, polished and embellished work of supreme mediocrity.

Mr Bachchan created an industry out of mediocrity. Mediocrity from which our films are yet to recover. His films led us to a state of bankruptcy that is reflected in the ridiculously mediocre Chandni Chowk to China.

Why are you complaining, dear sir? Isn't Shantaram the same kind of poverty porn that you were happily about to embrace? Come on, Mr Bachchan.
