Indian TV viewers sit and watch Sheila, Munni, Fevicol item songs on TV.

Compared to that ArVi PMS and Ekta's shows are just nursery rhymes! 😆

Ive heard abt the amount of scandalous stuff shown even on Regional channels like Star Jalsha, Zee Bangla etc...there are EMAs galore, out of wedlock babies, mistresses, cheating husbands, etc.

People sit and watch such stuff and laugh at it but dont take it seriously. Its just entertainment to them just like gossiping.

Indians in India are not that puritanical anymore. Attitudes have changed. Then they would not accept movies like Vicky Donor, Dirty Picture etc. which have won National Awards. Its mostly Indians living abroad who are still stuck in a time warp, clinging to age old morality which has very little relativity to modern day India.

The other day, I was watching Yeh Jawani hai Deewani in a movie theatre in NJ, the hall was filled to the brim with Desi families including children from 3-4 yrs to 11-12 yrs old and also many seniors/parents visiting from India.

Some of the scenes and dialogs in the movie made me uncomfortable but these families seemed to be enjoying them, laughing. I even heard a kid laughing at an X-rated dialog. Indian families actually sit and watch movies at home like Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore, etc which have a lot of vulgar dialogs and item songs etc.

I think the Americans are more sensitive to this sort of thing, they see the ratings of the movie whether its PG, PG 13 or R and then decide whether to let the kids watch.

👏 very good analysis. i could not have said it better pallavi. I too sometimes feel awkward with my children around when watching some hindi films with the scenes shown.
