Can you separate the ethics from the aesthetics? Do you have any moral objection towards films being made which is based on extramarital affairs, promiscuity, murder, violence, et al?
Do you find it difficult to digest such films?
Also, how about watching movies that stars or is directed by or in some way related to people who are rapists, murderers, cheaters, etc?
I think I am okay with the first one. I may find some things objectionable, but I see no reason why they shouldn't be in the market, so long that children and the likes are prevented from watching such materials. But the latter...is tricky. On one hand, a film is made by a large many number of people, so we aren't exclusively paying one specific person for his or her effort. On the other hand, many criminals have gone unpunished, and watching their movies is equivalent to (directly or indirectly) paying them a living to stay well and healthy - which is exactly what they don't deserve.
So, what's your view on it?
P.S. I know this isn't exclusively related to Bollywood, but I am mostly talking about the showbiz world here, so posted it right here. If moderators have any problems with this thread, then I will urge them to just close it instead of trashing it - so that I can repost it in some other sections of this site.
