Hi Friends…
What kind of country we are turning into? What kind of country we aspire to be? Do we want minefields for our future generations? Some people definitely do. They are offended by even non-existent things. SLB @ Ram-Leela for forced to change the title of the film to B-grade sounding title. In fact this entire charade is a stigma on the country which is respected for its tolerance and freedom of speech.
Today they have a problem with a film titled after God and/or enactment of His life. Tomorrow they will have issue with people keeping names after Godly figures. What if a person named as Ram or Krishna turns out to be a terrorist or corrupt broker? Will people get offended by that? Let me brush memories... remember Delhi Gang Rape... 'Ram Singh' was the driver of that bus. Offended now?
Sanjay Leela Bhansali definitely wanted to get a mileage from the title of the film – that’s what a title should do. However, its silly to think that at any point he intend to hurt emotions of people. But wait, we get offended by non-existent things… right.
Sadly, in this country we are not able to make good films due to this very reason. The country, frankly, doesn’t deserve good and open films. We don’t. The social fabric is shallow and we are happy with walls we created around us. These walls, however are made of up of paper. We are not a failed nation though that day is not very far.
