Theaters Pull Controversial Film After Blasts

2005-05-24

A controversial Bollywood film was withdrawn yesterday from cinema halls across the country after twin bomb blasts in New Delhi theaters Sunday. Police said it was not clear whether there was any connection between the film, "Jo Bole So Nihaal", and the blasts that killed one person and injured more than 60 others. The explosions took place at the Satyam and Liberty cinema halls in the heart of New Delhi within 20 minutes of each other at around 8:30 p.m. when the halls were packed with weekend moviegoers.

#7 Oh, I can see how that would go over.

"Yasss! The Hindus, who both fathered and gave birth to so many other major religions -- Buddhism, Jainism, part of the Sikh religion, and some nobody's ever heard of -- would be both the doinker (linga) and the Mound of Dizzy Pleasure (yoni) of the body politic..."

The conversation can deteriorate from there.

#4 It's Bollywood. They don't make any other kind. So long as the actors (M & F) are gorgeous, the sets and costumes are gorgeous, and there is lots of singing and dancing, why bother with a plot?

#2 OK. Sikhs on the rampage over what semi-blasphemous dialog. Can you imagine Christians or Jews getting this worked up over having their religion insulted? What. A. Bunch. Of. Savages.
