for all those saying why are Hindus targeted, are you serious? Hindus are the majority in India. They have the privilege. What rubbish is this about make something about Islam etc? Also most of these movies talk about the empowerment of women so why the objection? Even in fire the names Radha and Sita were symbolic to the power that these women had and the fact that they did not need men. Just as Hindu goddesses can fight their own battles without their male counterparts, these women found their own happiness without the men in their life. Why is that offensive?


aisi majority hone ka fayda hi kya jaha sab tumhe target karte rahe...pakistan, bangladesh me to hindus minority hoke target hote hai..ab india me majority hoke bhi target ho...wah bhai wah 👏

i don't know what kind of privilege u are talking abt?

symbolism ke liye hindu goddesses ke hi naam miley the... how would people react if the name of mohammad or jesus christ was used as symbolism for depicting a gay man...par nahi then to u will say why make something abt islam or christianity...lets just talk abt Hinduism...only hindus are open to all symbolism...


waise reaction ki baat to baad me aayegi...pehle koi apni progressiveness kisi aur religion ke saath dikha ke to bataye... sabko bas easy taregt hi chahiye controvesies ke liye...Hindus hi hai jisne theka le rakha hai tolerance ka

Being majority that doesn't mean we are expected to stay silent whenever our religion is targeted in the name of art. privilige? as far as i know india has equal rights for everyone but in the end our beliefs are targeted. why to mock our Gods? do it for all or don't target the one simply in the name of art. if art has no boundaries, then do it for all. oo left doesn't speak then! their agenda is quite clear and hindus have enough finally.

So if the same director made a movie with the name Mohammed or Jesus in the title then would you be OK with him making a movie called Sexy Durga? Or would you still have a problem?

Out of million of names available why did they choose Radha and Sita name ? can you justify it ?


Because they are Hindu goddesses that have gone against the norm. Radha was married and dared to fall in love with Krishna. She did not need a man to empower her. Also Sita was empowered enough to be a single mother. She did not need a man to support her.

So what kind of empowerment is to use Hindu Goddess name and show lesbian s*x scene between mother in law and daughter in law ?

Have you even watched the movie? You are reducing a two hour movie to a two minute scene. The sex scene was symbolic of the women breaking the norms and chains of society. It wasn't there to merely titillate the audience. It served a purpose if you look at the film as a whole, instead of just one scene

How can you comment on something if you have not watched the movie? A lot Indian names are Gods names. We have 300,000 gods. So what do you avoid? Also if something is offensive to you don't watch it. Why ban it? Who are you to control what everyone should watch. What is offensive to you may not be offensive to me

ewww...a sex scene between a MIL and DIL...and there was absolutely no other way to show a liberated woman other than having sex with her own mother-in-law?? How the hell is that liberation...that is wrong in every single way possible...is that idiot film maker out of his mind or what??🤢

I would still have a problem...but first dare to make such a movie... pehle karme ki himmat to dikhao fir poochna objection hai ki nahi...par aisa hoga nahi...kyunki they would dare not mess with other religions.

Progressiveness ka matlab sirf nangpan dikhana ya religious sentimenst ke saath mess up karna hi nahi hota...

these liberal talk abt equality and all...but have never dared to show any any man, forget even a gay couple, named jesus & Mohammad, or such names even in other controversial roles . this is ample proof that the progressiveness of such filmmakers takes liberty only with the sentiments of Hindus (who are easy targets for them as tolerance is expected only from them)... this shows the hypocrisy of such so-called progressive film-makers

Completely agree with the starting line of the article. Now it has become more like a morality certificate. No wonder BW movies and censor board is hugely mocked outside India. 😔
