Maligning Hindu Festival Holi - Page 2

Instead of focusing on the religious festival looking bad, you should be focusing on other issues. Women are harassed in many crowded places including concerts, festivals, the streets. The point of that scene wasn't targeting Holi, it just happened to be a crowded setting. He could easily have said concert. Would people have started complaining that movies are making concerts look bad? You missed the whole point. It's not about making something look bad, it's about portraying the truth.

Old bollywood movies are filled with the sh*t that you are highlighting and I really cringe over that. But I intentionally wanted to point out the association of Holi only.

Christmas, moharram, Lohri all are celebrated in a crowded setting only but it's always Holi. That's a trend

when I was very small and the first holi I can remember in my life, my brothers friends forcing themselves in to our house, banging doors and dragging my brother out to apply color. This traumatised me after that these movies made me phobic further. I still have night mares of this festival atleast once in a month.

But I realise today my mom was not letting my brother to play and his friends are actually helping my brother to come out and play..

There is one more festival in Telengana that brings shivers too. 😭 The guy who gets drunk and chases people on roads to whip them. As a kid I didn't understand and get traumatised instead.
