<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Talking about whats realistic - entire movie industry is based on unrealistic stuff - thats one of the most bogus criticism that one can think of.

Rajeshji atleast the criticism about being "unrealistic" would have some merit if these reviewers applied the same standards to other movies like Dhoom 2 or other blockbusters, but they selectively pick and choose which one is unrealistic or not.
Also I didn't find anything much unrealistic about the way it depicted the marriage scenario, in my own extended family I only know of one love marriage and many of these people lived in AP cities, in my village I know of no love marriage, so this whole "progressive" nonsense doesn't even apply to the majority of Indians. Heck I even know one of my Gujju friends from UK (born and bred in UK) who went to Gujarat last year and had a routine arranged marriage, so I fail to see what's regressive or unrealistic about it especially when we are talking about small town and village India.

The whole movie is your routine anti Hindu progressive trash. The reference to the Jewish guy comes when a bunch of Hindu rioters stop a bus and ask the passengers to point out any Muslims on the bus so one guy gets up and points to an old Muslim couple who are then taken down and persumably killed, after the rioters leave he justifies himself by saying that he is a Jew and circumcised hinting that they would have probably killed him also if he didn't do that thinking that he was also Muslim.
You ever heard of a movie named "Mr and Mrs Khan" and you know why u never heard of such a thing cuz the movie makers all piss in their pants since they know what will happen if they show a high caste Muslim married woman with a kid falling in love on a bus ride with a Hindu, Mani Ratnam got the message when his house got bombed for making "Bombay" showing a Muslim woman running off with a Hindu.
Here is some info:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The commies have now started brainwashing urban Indians through commercial movies. Commie Aparna Sen's movie - "Mr and Mrs Iyer" - is winning rave reviews for her film-making with nobody raising a voice against the blatant anti-Hindu bias in it.
Hindus have been showed as "extremists", "fundamentalists", etc while Muslims are the "innocent victims of HIndu Talibanism".
Its been called "a movie on communal violence" while not a single Muslim rioter has been shown. Hindu rioters have been explicitly shown as epitomes of cruelty and inhuman-ness.
One particular scene takes the cake - an inspector rushed and declares to all the passengers of a bus that communal riots had broken out and they should not leave the bus. A passenger makes a passing comment that wherever there are Muslims there are riots, to which the inspector gets frustrated and yells, "They are HIndu fanatics".
The words - "Hindu fanatics", "Hindu fundamentalists" have been repeated over and over again, there is no "Muslim extremism" or "Muslim terrorism" or "Muslims fundamentalism".
Moreover, its a display of the worst form of stereotyping. The Hindu heroine have been shown as highly educated with a masters degree yet one who highly believes in caste - the Muslim hero questions her and displays awe at her beliefs while she has been shown to embarassingly evade the question.
The Muslim hero has been shown as a so-called sophisticated and modern individual while the Hindu heroine is old-fashioned. She has been shown so touched and influenced by his honesty and decency that inspite of being an orthodox, traditional, tamil brahmin and married with a small child, she falls in love with him and smooched him.
So Muslims of India here are the "progressives" and Hindus are "fanatics" and stuck in orthodoxy.
All the bad things in society are the result of Hinduism is the conclusion. There are uncountable number of scenes where subtlely, anti-Hinduism has been shown.
Its a one-sided movie with Hindus the aggressors and Muslims, the innocent victims. Aparna Sen is winning international awards and 5-star reviews from national newspapers on a biased movie.
The movie is like the media's one-sided slander campaign and biased coverage of Gujarat in a commercial movie form.
AID and ASHA are now going to show this movie in universities all over America, raise funds for the anti-Hindutva campaign while brainwashing Indian-American kids.
South Asian studies have one more tape to show in their Hinduism classes.
Now that the commies have started it, it is high time Hindutva upholders start financing movies which show the Hindutva view-point.

I also found it to be a great movie exposing the fanatics among us in my "secular" days.
