The Obvious which is Unnoticed

How sad is that in Bollywood movies when making a music video they use American currency to show power of money?!

Yes! Its true, when they made the video of Bluffmaster, they at least had the pride to show Indian currency! However, in movie Cash, the title track, uses U.S. $100 bill with Benjamin Franklin. This just shows you how everyone favors dollars over Indian currency. But people, people, people, Dollar is starting to lose its value!!!

Another eye opening fact about Bollywood movies are Halla Bol & Jodhaa Akbar. Its intentions were true but the drama was not real! For instance, Halla Bol, the little skits in the movie were truly a slap on the public’s face, yet many walked away from theaters learning zip! The political drama was too much; however, fame has its price was true. No wonder celebrity likes to stay away from scandals; the media is a hungry Tiger for prey. The media ruins lives along with reputation of one without making sure of the facts!

With Jodhaa Akbar, if the research of the movie is to be believed, if a Muslim prince kept a Hindu Princess happy with pride? Why can’t the common man do that for thy neighbors? For the common man it’s not about pride, it’s about ignorance of accepting a simple fact that everyone is human before religion sets them apart.

But where does one start setting people apart by its religion? When one clan of religion gets favoritism or one is abused for the religion they believe in. It’s true that middle class people have no time or “hassiet” (value) to fight bureaucracy; therefore, people keep quiet. No one today has the time to create groups or organization to stand against what they truly believe in. People in India have no true powers! Because they are blinded by FEAR!

Many times the social problem in a country is set due to government control. Just like with parenting, parents set example for their children, the government is responsible for setting the right example for its people. They forget that Government is there because of people. Without the people, they have no one to govern!

I thank the producers and directors of the movie Halla Bol for attempting an eye opening issue in our free country. They are at least using their power to send the right message through right channels.

I also like to thank producers and directors of the movie Jodhaa Akbar for bringing out such a wonderful fact that when religions work together, they are unstoppable!

Sayonara!

P.S. to my readers, sorry for taking a long time, college is a bitch! But a wonderful experience I cannot miss out on!
