I was 13 when I went to the movie called Speed starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. I went with my dad to watch the movie and it ends with a kissing scene. I happened to see this movie in Sathyam theatres in Chennai with my sister who was 11 years of age then!
The movie was rated 'R' by MPAA for violence and language and not obscenity. Now lets fast forward by a decade. Dhoom 2 releases, creates a big controversy for a kissing scene. Dhoom 2 vs. Speed - Not even close. A public litigation is filed accusing the actors for "Obscenity" and the scene being "Deragatory to women". Two words - "Grow Up".
First, the kiss does not last for more than a few seconds. Second, please define the word "obscene". Third, the movie is provided the appropriate rating by the Censor board. You don't like it, don't watch it.
I see lots of "Only in India" and this is one such instance. The previous instance was "Da Vinci Code". Even the Pope himself asked Christians to just boycott the movie. In India, they wanted a ban, protesters take violence as their aide and damage theatres. The book carries much more details than the movie. They were happily sleeping at that time and made an issue when the movie released.
Not deviating from the original topic, what does he want? Publicity? He has got that now. The Indian Judicial System has hell a lot of pending cases to clear. Give them a friggin' break. Don't waste their time.
Makes me wonder "What if I sue him for causing mental agony after reading such news?"
