We do not wish to see this movie. We wish for it to be banned. The video with Jia Khan and AB is sufficient to conclude this. It makes a quiet and peaceful evening with family unbearable. It makes relationships complex and it poisons the psyche with pollutants. It is repulsive to watch an 18 yr old not look at a 60 yr old like a kid looking at her grandfather but like a lust bitten bytch soliciting an oldie. It is disgusting to watch AB play this part and even more annoying to hear him defend his actions in the garb that he is only an actor. It is unbearable to accept that someone like AB with so much money, fame, some education and apparently some mind has the guts to say that "senility does not signify end of desire". Are we to assume he agrees with his character? That he harbors such desires for younger girls? That he promotes men his age have such thoughts or fantasies?
Ordinarily, people like AB would hold no significance. However, in the world we have made, we pay a domestic worker who cleans the dirt off our homes a few hundred rupees whereas we pay these entertainment workers who inflict our minds with pollutants and who offend our sensibilities with millions of rupees. We live in a world where the media promotes such individuals and companies use such people as brand ambassadors. The actor compromises his values for money and garbs it as "Acting"; the director compromises his values for money and garbs it as "entertainment" knowing fully well that curious or corky minds will like to watch this filth and controversies could lead to some more money; the companies give contracts to such individuals because YOU the people go and watch these stupid films increasing their ratings. Everyone compromises for money and the looser is the iindividual as well as society. Everyone in the chain raises his hand up and says he is only a professional; sure he is but he is also a father, a grandfather, a teacher.he is expected to protect values not offend them. He is expected to promote wholesome emotions between the old and the young like those of protective feelings, feelings of care and affection, NOT feelings of desire. Realizing this does not take intelligence. It requires responsible behavior.
Each and every one of us owes our existence to the society we live in. We must know that Modernism is not mutilation of all delicate and pristine bonds. Modernism is maintaining your boundaries in thoughts and action even in a world of materialism. This hypocrisy of going to temples, churches and mosques and making a public display of religious inclinations have no meaning if we loose our sense of human values - of what is right or wrong, good or bad and displace our priorities. Surely if money is so important to the Bachchan family we all can contribute a rupee for his fund and he would get 1 billion rupees.
Friends - DO NOT play in to their tunes. DO NOT watch this movie. DO NOT contribute to them making money in this disgusting manner by spreading moral dirt. DO NOT get swayed by those who will pretend to be elite or intelligent or connoisseurs of art because irresponsible social behavior is not art, it is not elite and it is not in the least intelligent.
BAN THIS MOVIE AND DEMAND A PUBLIC APOLOGY OF ALL THOSE INVOLVED IN IT.
