Ajay Devgan, Aiswarya Rai, Salman Khan, Vikram Gokhale, Jaykar, etc are ‘Gujju’ actors. WOW

Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan were NOT part of Aishwarya’s family.
Reference was related to Kenneth Desai, Ghanshyam Nayak and other extras in the movie.
Please read carefully.

But Vikram Gokhale and Smita Jaikar were very much part of the familly; infact they were parents.
The actors you mention are also working in other movies to earn their living. Is it wrong employing them. If the story merits usage of particular community actors why make dance and song of it. It will be ridiculous if south employs Hindi stars. Its just a matter of convenience.

I think you are missing the point.
Nahm had mentioned in the write-up regarding the influence of Rajasthan. And thats why the comment was made explaining several connections that this movie has with Gujarat.
It is not about this community versus that community and so on, which is what u seem to be indicating.
Hopefully its clear now.
Regards.

Btw the sport is called lagori. I have played it as kid. There is stack of 7 stones in the centre of the game. One team breaks the stack with a ball and scatters the stones as far as possible. the objective of the other team is to restack the stones as fast as possible which is made difficult by the frist team by hitting them with the ball. You are out of the game if you are hit by the ball. the team wins if it restacks the stones before all its players are out.
Thanks for this song. Its a personal favorite

There is nothing to do with Rajasthan. Everything in movie Bhansali has used from his Gujarat connection – Be it the Kite flying song, or the folk art “bhavai” with nimesh desai or that most of the family members in the cast are gujju actors or Nimbuda Nimbuda song or Dholi Taro Dhol Baje song.

I am aware of the Gujarat connection. I mentioned the Gujarati theatre artists, in the post for song ” jhonka hawaa ka ‘. Pl. see this :
Nimbooda… is a a folk song of some group who had performed it live in an award function, it must have been screen awards, that same year, when this movie won the awards.

cool. good to know that u know. i used to play this game too 😉 but i know its called by different names in different parts and different eras.
there is some anglo indian connection to bhansali as well, most likely, and thats why focus on christianity; ranbir kapoor dancing in front of a jesus look like wall size painting, hrithik roshan’s look/theme, etc in bhansali’s later movies apart from theme of earlier khamoshi.
