it's all numbers. 1 middle class doctor's life worth more than a few working class'. 3-4 rich politician (double positive!) son's freedom worth more than the total dignity of 100s (or 1000s) middle class girls (pollachi).
The ethics that frown upon police encounters as a way to deliver justice would (should?) also frown upon the convicted being punished beyond their awarded sentence. Encounters deliver instant punishment without due process. The prison hierarchies deliver inhuman treatment to prisoners with no avenue of escape. Such experiences in prison - raped, beaten, tortured - turn the criminals into people who come out of prison and commit more or worse crimes. Instead of getting reformed, they become even more hardened criminals. The guilty going through inhuman treatment in prison is also justice denied. Just because they are guilty of rape and murder does not make it OK for them to be raped, tortured or beaten in prison daily.
I agree. I am not proud of that sentiment. Now that I think about it I don't think I would endorse it. Deep down I know it is wrong. It does not align with my moral code. We are all evolving. I am too.
The movie Kabir Singh/ Arjun Reddy is liked coz.. The hero is very good looking He is a rich,well educated surgeon He is a football player He is a topper on studies His love for the girl is over the top and many women do like it if their guy is crazy over them He is dynamic The BGM for the movie Isn’t it an attractive package?? When people are blind over something which is attractive,they forget to see the flaws.. Imagine..same storyline.. The hero is not good looking He is arrogant and rude same like Kabir Singh/Arjun Reddy He is not good in studies He is poor He is studying in a man average college and he is behind the girl.. he behaves arrogant The movie would not have fared as well and the hero would have been irritating. I am guilty of liking the movie just like many others. Only when I think deep..I felt the hero was so wrong in many ways!!!!
I watched the first half. The petrol pump owner says how long those guys worked at that pump and whether he had problems with them. He says that Mohammad worked the longest, had a few arguments with him (owner), like about where to park the lorry at night in the pump and not blocking the CC tv camera. The reporter probes further for some dirt on Mohammad and the owner says some other guy once bought Mohammad a cell phone and Mohammad did not pay the money for that. The owner seems to say that Shiva was more trouble, worked there for only 2 months, misbehaved with women who came to the petrol pump even if they were filling petrol and he was at the diesel pump, had blue films on his phone, and spoke in a vulgar manner. Then, he says the four used to come on one motorcyle, sit at a hotel opposite till late hours of the morning.
@anika987 ,you or the media didn’t know that victim’s real name cannot be published according to rule of the land. How can you expect uneducated wives and families of accused to react like convent/English educated upper middle class? Their anguish will be different. Give them break. They didn’t do the crime nor did they advise their children to do this heinous crime, so it is utterly shameless of media to stick a microphone to get sound byte to get TRP.
Shravs, As for as what I understand is, they belong to below poverty line and they lost their main bread winner. We can't expect humanity/maturity from them and we need to feel their pain, too.
