Pratz, as part of an Indian audience, I did not like your statements because it seemed to me that it implied that the audiences in India are by and large hypocritical and unable to accept the essential part of life "passion"... Not everyone watching these shows in India adheres to the views of the topic-starter, so I don't think its fair of you to stereotype the audience living in India, and bunch them all into "narrow-minded, unprogressive, hypocritical" people... Sorry, it came off as a bit preachy and judgmental to me, Pratz though I don't think that was your intention....
And, I have no problems with boldness, as long as it isn't vulgar, and isn't put in to garner views... Like when people put in gawdy item-numbers just so that people go to watch the movie and not for the script itself...
However, looking @ the other side of the coin, I don't think passion is synonomous with boldness and physicality!!! So when you say people are unable to accept certain bold (verging to vulgar) scenes, I don't think it necessarily means they are unable to accept "passion"... IIt depends on the kind of boldness shown really. It is vulgarity that I've a problem with, and IMO the MICHI scene though bold by Indian TV standards wasn't vulgar according to me, so I enjoyed it...
