Dont slam ‘PK’ without even seeing it: Hindu leader

[Peaceful Civilian]

This is just a movie. Imagine if it happens in Muslim world, they will slaughter everyone. Hindus still have patience. I must admire and majority are still open mind.

You O.K.??

I was speaking of this...

The Politics of Deepa Mehta's Water - Bright Lights Film Journal
The Hindu : 'Water' shooting stopped again, Mehta `asked to leave Varanasi'

Are you in your senses? Read what you quoted. A person (tried to)kill himself to protest against the film, by consuming poison and drowing in the Ghat.

How is that equivalent to 'burning theaters, killing crew'?

I don't want pk banned. Just want to let my displeasure known. That is all.

Oh well, I need to spoon feed you now....

"On January 30 fundamentalist thugs destroyed the film's sets.

After wrecking the set, the mob held a meeting and vowed to stop the film. Police officers made no attempt to arrest any of those responsible.

The central government did not oppose the actions of its allies in the state government. Local BJP leaders, in turn, mobilised and led the extremist hooligans against the film production. After the thugs had done their dirty work, the state government piously claimed that it had to “keep the peace” and halt production."

"Ms. Mehta, 55, is no stranger to Hindu protests. Her 1996 film about a lesbian relationship, "Fire," the first in a trilogy, enraged fundamentalists in India, who burned down movie theaters."

If putting words in my mouth makes you happy, so be it.

I liked Water though, thank God we have rid ills - that was a valid criticism and not a cheap shot at Hinduism per se. The performance was also great. I will have to check Fire to comment on that and rest assured I will.

Coming to the point, Why deny what has happened? I posted articles which present events that have taken place(They are not opinion pieces).

Anyways please go through the following which is yet another paper which "stinks"

"Filming in India was abandoned five years ago after hardline Hindu protesters burned its sets, claiming the movie distorted Indian culture."

""I think their intention was to cause as much media attention as they could get," says Hamilton. "They wanted to make it visually strong. That's why they burned the set. So they wanted to create a fire and have big crowds."

Aah Sorry Charmy.... That didn't happen(Sorry to let you down) but don't you worry that would have happened for sure....!!!

Few excerpts from articles might be helpful for you....

"The anguish, the death threats, the politics, the ugly face of religious fundamentalism - we experienced them all.

It was sheer chance that Mehta and Hamilton hadn't come face to face with the rioters themselves.

Mehta, on her way to India for the opening in late 1998, was met by a phalanx of 40 armed guards assigned to protect her.

"Protesters burned Mehta in effigy, and although she tried to raise the cast's spirits by asking what the effigy had been wearing, the situation soon became intolerable after thugs set fire to sets and threatened the film's female stars with rape.(This has become Indian specialty)"
