Somehow when one reads stuff like people getting all worked up about a movie and going about threatening the people involved really gets on my nerves. Just now read some BJP nut congratulated another good for nothing for announcing a 10 cr reward for anyone who beheads Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. . I just don't understand the hue and cry over a movie which is part of one's creative freedom.. It's just entertainment .. It's just something that a person conceives in his mind and wants to put forth to the audience. . They may have been inspired by some historical figure and might want the world to let know of the person .. and it's a commercial movie not a documentary where everything needs to be accounted for or should be exact. . Commercial movies are always a mix of fact and fiction. . Our country is said to be the largest democracy as well as secular but it only seems to be secular or democratic in paper Coz I don't see any tolerance towards caste creed color language religion or our so called fundamental rights in this country. Intolerance abounds. . The kar sewaks or karni or these so called moralists or protectors of their clan .. who are they protecting in fact.. A queen's legacy.. no offence meant. . From what.. A movie wherein her namesake is shown dancing or some imagined romantic scene between the queen and the Sultan (the director has been crying hoarse denying any such scene) . . Is this queen's dignity or strength of character or the respect she commands so fragile that it will fall apart just by a movie. . I don't think so .. If she was what I hear her to have been she wouldn't give a damn about what people think or how she's portrayed in a movie. . A movie cannot make or break any community.. If their values, beliefs and customs are strong then I dont think there is any reason to worry.. and people are intelligent enough to differentiate between fact and fiction. . Noone is going to judge the queen or her clan on the basis of a movie.. these so called moralists and preservers of their community if they open their eyes and ears and look around at the injustices being done to women and children in the society and hear their pleas or cry for help they wouldn't be wasting their time trying to ban a movie..
