women are commodified every where. The reason they are commodified every where is the reason why item songs like these are such big hits and women oriented movies are not well received. Even in a movie like TDP made with good intentions you would barely see a guy talking about acting- most of them would be discussing vidya's assets! so the problem lies in the society and its thinking and what happens in bollywood is a mere reflection of it. Not that i am justifying item songs- but i am explaining the link- its not bollywood causing it- its society causing bollywood to create such stuff

Am I the only one who finds his words honest?
My interpretation is that he's including HIMSELF as a film-maker, and doesnt deny that its wrong.
Its more a personal judgement as well.
Ofcourse, my first impulse when I opened up the topic was, look who's talking. But I see a man thinking about his own actions as well.


"If the society is in turmoil, you need to respond to that turmoil. If people feel that women are being commodified in the media, then you need to pause and introspect. You cannot go on a denial mode, and say, 'we don't do anything.' We should be brave enough to face it and make corrections," he says.

So good on him.

Well said MB! I don't think he is blaming anyone, I think he is accepting responsibility!
