Last few days am seeing too many headlines being occupied by the Movie "Aarakashan". I think we live in democracy and are free to express thoughts and so has the movie captured the directors expression. I am not sure what the fuss is about. Do politicians not have work like not letting another building come up near the airport or talk of how not to let the Lokpal bill pass or how to let another CWG Scam.. There are so many movies which would have hurt the sentiment of one or another, almost every other Tamil movie would have hurt the Brahim community in terms of some character belonging to Brahim community. Why the hell now for "Aarakashan" Can some not tell them shut the F*** up. Can't we tell them to do the work i.e ensure the roads are good, inflation is down, pass the lok pal bill..rather why waste time on fighiting over "Aarakashan"

Slum Dog Millionaire!. Why the Hype! Apartheid in the Entertainment World.
I am movie Buff and view Movies on a regular Basis. I did happen to watch the Movie Slum Dog Millionaire on the day of release, of course after paying a premium. The Media Hype about the Movie and the n number of Oscar Nomination received for the Movie made me decide on paying the Premium. I do acknowledge it was a well made movie, directed very well, right actors for the right character and good music score. What a shame we talk of equality in the World? But I thought if this movie received so much of hype & attention than I thing the World has been very very unfair to Directors & Movie Makers of INDIA. There has been N movies which have been of the same class or even even better which hasn't received so much of Hype and Attention.
Is this because the director and producer are White collared People, Is Apartheid Surfacing in the entertainment world. Some movies which come to my memory off hand "Tare Zameen Par", "Lagaan", "Mozhi" , "Aarth", "Nayagan" the many Movies of Raj Kapoor, Shivaji Ganesan. Isn't this Apartheid in the Entertainment Industry!!
