BOLLYWOOD AND TERRORISM! REALLY?

Should bollywood be allowed to promote terrorism and anti social elements even in its most modest form?
It's said that 'A pen is mightier than a sword’ but also ‘A single picture is worth a thousands of words! ’
Should we be promoting a channelized terror and their business? 
The irony is this is not the first time ever!
So Saturday I happened to watch Haseena Parkar on screen! The movie left me thinking what kind of sense and message a movie is giving to our society in a shadow of disclaimer! Here a person (Dawood Ibrahim and gang) who uses terror for personal gain is shown in the light of being victim of system rather than a criminal before the law!


This forced me to question about intentions of such film makers and artists who are portraying such negative personalities heroic!
Food for thought for #shraddhakapoor who plays role of dawood's sister, who uses her brothers name (Dawood Ibrahim) for terrorizing people for sake of earning more than a lavish livelihood!
What message goes to the youth and society? To take up anti social and terrorism as a means to earn a living?
The horror of blasts and riots in Mumbai aren't their doings?

Sunday back to back I happened to see Newton!
I was so glad to watch it as it nullified the effect of Haseena!
Here A simple hard working intelligent fellow in a government service was posted to conduct fair elections in naxalite prone Aadivasi populated central Indian region.
The frame includes  a forgotten population of country, the armed officers, the young Newton and the ruckus of media gives me a message to be more conscientious Indian! 
They all are trying to make this small population active in democracy by mode of vote. There is no doubt media has earned to be known as presstitute which never highlights these realities.
Yes this hard working moral man at end sits in a corner of government office on a table and chair getting award for being punctual to office everyday. While the same army personnel on duty during voting campaign had to think twice before purchasing a daily grocery for his family. Superb blending of social message with sarcasm!


A day in the lives of people involved in the painstaking process of conducting elections in a dangerous area deep in the jungles  really wins accolades than a film where an obese gangster who is sitting on couch, making fool of people and government! The reel world should portray the real message and not alter the facts like here where they sympathize the criminals!The makers should atleast be loyal to one's country if can't do anything else!


Yes the patriotism for one's motherland and humanity will make me boycott such films where a gangster and his family living life king size are shown to be herofied victim of system!
Will be waiting for the day when Indian filmmakers will make film on real life True heroes like Swami Vivekanand, Dr APG Abdul Kalam,Rani Laxmibai, Savitribai and Jyotirao Phule et all….
