The awareness factor
A person’s take on any situation depends upon his age, gender, profession / occupation, family background, experience in life etc.
I am happy Pradeep’s comment for The type of movies l like gives me the right opening to write about Consumer Awareness. He says he likes clean, wholesome movies like 'Quick Gun Murugan'. Incidentally Pradeep and I saw this one movie together. I was sitting next to him and I know he enjoyed it very much from the way he was laughing.
But I didn’t feel that way. I endured it for the great company I had. The movie is a spoof (which ridicules its subject).
The climax of the movie was very objectionable to me and I couldn’t understand how the Censor Board allowed it. Whether anybody else felt that way I haven’t heard. But surely I can’t be that unique!
I wrote about it to a Tamil Daily’s Sunday magazine, but they neither acknowledged nor published it. (That is also one of the reasons for starting a blog of my own, so that I can publish everything I write. I am working on collecting the readers.)
The story happens in Bombay. A restaurant owner develops a special kind of ‘masala dosa’. Wanting to make his business prosper he decides to destroy the Bombay ‘Dabbhawala’ (Real organization, not fictitious. Bombay Dabbhawalas are world famous for their Six Sigma quality standards.)
He carries out this unethical business practice by planting bombs in the tiffin carriers and placing it along with the Dabbhawala’s other genuine tiffin carriers.
The movie shows step-by-step procedure to perform a terrorist attack.
Shouldn’t we as consumers be aware of and object to such anti social themes / scenes in the movie?
Madam,
ReplyDeleteYou are right and i too agree to it.
Many of us see it as movie and quit from the scenes after 4 hrs.
But few learnt from the movie and execute.There are several examples to it.
I think a review of similar movies which scenes the anti social act can be highlighted to Central Board of Film Certification.
