The word DK Bose is a masquerade for an abusive word. Everybody knows and understands this. If I am not wrong, it was first used in Tusshar Kapoor-Riteish Deshmukh starring sex-comedy Kya Kool Hai Hum. It instantly became a part of college slang however faded soon. Cut to 2011. The slang is back. A desperate Imran Khan is smeared in dirt and singing in a broken shriek-style rock.
Frankly speaking, I don’t have any issue with usage of slangs/abusive words in cinema provided that censor board can beep them or give a proper certificate. You always have a choice of avoiding any movie which might offend you. Also, sometimes you can’t avoid usage of f-words. If they are removed, the scene remains incomplete.

But I have some problem with public exhibition of such songs on TV where kids and youngsters watch it. It’s not like that they don’t know them. It’s not like that they don’t use them. It’s just that by putting them on TV, one ensures that every one catches the term. The word becomes a fad and causes unwanted embarrassment to many. The youngsters learn it quick and pass it on to toddlers… much to parent’s helpless angst. Deep down even Mr. Khan would accept that this is a shame. We want our children to be sensible and mature but not by means of learning words like these.
I know someone whose name is D.K. Bose. I can’t imagine how he might be feeling…
Anyways... the pic here is of Arun Ravindran who won the second prize at Between Breaths. The smile on his face tells it all...
Kudos... great work mate.

Hi,
The Citation for my short-film "Vitesse" has been received today by me. Thanks for your prompt action. This being the very first appreciation and recognition for my first work as film maker; value of this one will always be more than any awards in my life. In this way, The Reel Mag will be more precious than an Academy award to me. :-)
