Goodman i agree with you,
couple of years ago there was a protest in bangalore opposing the casting of veena malik in dirty picture kannada version. The reasin of protest was not to cast a pakistani actress and replace with india actress but the movie name is dirty picture hahahahah, cant stop laughing
I will go with Kumar and Boom. You people are correct. It is not a public game. We should support for such unbehaviour activity.
The so called BD VHP Etc etc are intolerant except for Sunny Leone
If they call themselves as nationalist, savior of Indian cultural let them demand ban of Sunny Leone films in India and will support them
We are with you. But do it properly
This is definitely a double standard of whoever opposing here.
Because,
First go and stop all type of romantic scenery in your own Kannada film.
Also stop films from any language in Karnataka.
You allow everyone to go to film theatres and watch is happily, with your family, daughters, sons.
For you this is OK to enjoy on the big scree meanwhile when they do it really, you oppose them.
We shall appreciate you if you dare to stop all romantic scene in any film. If you start doing it, we the Muslims will support you and ready to join you.
You need brain to think it and strong heart to dare it.
Well Being a Muslim we never entertain such things.And no Muslim men or Women will go for such things nor we support them.That means we will not Manhandle any one for supporting them.
Let police handle the case.We dont have any rights to pin point others because there are many things which are there to correct within our self.Let us correct them first then will see others.
They will support \PREM CHUMBAN\" but, never \"Kiss of Love\""
LOBY, Just imagine...
If Your own daughters kissing each other in public... Will U like it?
Never ... So dont support such activities which even ANIMALS dont do it openly...
