A
voluntary organisation
working to root out the ragging problem recently complained to the Supreme
Court-appointed anti-ragging committee that ragging was being glorified in 3
idiots. I am afraid that the nightmare I had few days back would soon be a
reality. I saw a few new cases in the court. Few important ones as
follows
1.
Ramesh
Sippy for Sholay: Gabbar Singh glorifying dacoits. Some NGOs
feel that Gabbar Singh inspired Veerappan to take on the similar profession.
They also claim that there was a secret meeting between late Amjad Khan and
Veerappan where some training sessions were conducted by the former. As
reservation of ladies is a must, the session was also attended by Phulan Devi.
Sources say the Osama Bin Laden was denied visa to attend these training
sessions.
2.
Amir
Khan for Lagaan:
(Looks like Amir has a hidden agenda of making controversial films for no
reason.) Character Lakha deliberately drops Russel’s catch in the cricket match.
Some NGO says that Ashutosh was ready with the story much before the match
fixing scandal and he played an instrumental role in inspiring Azharuddin and
Cronje into fixing matches. Some sources also say that he was with Cronje in
that plane trying to convince him that how a cricketer can still drop catches
even if he has no agenda. Just before the plane crash a South African villager
saw Ashutosh jump from the plane and land safely on the ground unhurt. Must be a
strong man. Else how can you explain a man remaining unhurt even after
distributors beat him when they lost all their money in What’s you Rashee.
Coming back to the point, that NGO is still trying to pull Amir Khan Productions
to court for inspiring cricketers into match fixing. BCCI and ICC (first time
together) have a valid argument against that. They say the Indian cricketers
drop catches anyways, be it match fixing or not. Latest example can be India –
Sri Lanka Series.
3.
Boney
Kapoor for Mr. India:
Boney Kapoor now a days is busy in pre-production of Mr. India Sequel. He was
caught napping by an NGO (supposedly had a noble cause of save water – save
earth drive). They have sued him for wasting thousand’s of liters of water on
Sridevi’s famous rain-dance number. But many men through social networking site
have objected this stand by NGO saying that the NGO doesn’t care for the
sentiments of millions of us who have grown up watching Sridevi dance. In fact
after this news, many idiots (read again as film makers) are taking proactive
measures against these NGOs hitting them. To name a few, Subhash Ghai, Yash
Chopra, The Kapoor Khandaan.
4.
Yash
Chopra for DDLJ:
An NGO has sued Yash Chopra once again for “unacceptable” behaviour by the
hero’s father with the groom’s aunt. The NGO says that the scene where Anupam
Kher flirts with Himani Shivpuri has inspired a few soon-to-be-father-in-laws
into flirting with random women during weddings in some village in North India.
In defense, Yash Chopra’s son Aditya Chopra said that he will make another movie
with Shahrukh Khan where Shahrukh now (as it is the age now reflects on his
face) will be the father-in-law and instead of flirting with women, he will
flirt with some good looking men during the wedding. He is sure that this will
negate all the negative impact the movie has had till date.
5.
Ram
Gopal Verma for all his films post Sarkaar:
An NGO says that a significant amount of film goers have got a permanent
headache might be termed as migraine after watching his films. And they want
Ramu to stop making movies completely in the larger interest of the
nation.
All
these issues were raised by the NGOs “in the interest of the people of India”.
And I thought I am one of those people of India. I wonder whom these NGOs are
representing
