I havent watched the movie yet. Your post is more like a spoiler for me Jokes apart,I no longer feel surprised at people's reaction these days. More than a reaction people simply comment to make their presence felt or to stabilise their position in the society
I am a great proponent of freedom of expression without any ifs and buts. India is a nation of composite cultures. Someone or other may always come up with hurt feelings for every creative expression of an artist. But if we are to move out of the medieval, barbaric mindset, and move towards a liberal, modern outlook, we have got to defend the right to freedom of expression doggedly. In other words, the rulers have to crush the violent agitations of loony, parochial organisations like Karni Sena. Unfortunately, we found the two major political parties keeping mum in fear of losing few votes!
