Seriously, the pseudo- patriotism has taken its toll to the newest height. The paradigm of our ever-narrower raison d'etre has manifested in itself, and we are the instruments to devise, sketch and execute the grand analogy of discriminate beliefs. What is the issue here? A review and criticism of a movie, or a fodder for linguisitic parse?
The thread, in itself, doesnot warrant any such patriotic ruckus over language.
I watch Japanese horror movies ( I read the subtitles). I watch Spanish, French, Chinese, Korean movies (albeit, with the subtitles). That doesnot make me a lesser person that doesnot love his language or country. Although, not vocally stated in previous posts, I sense a clear notion of scorn and hatred towards Hindi language. If dubbed in English or Nepalese, will it accepted by our so-staunch patriots? I wonder, if it will even be an issue, where the supply of salt and kerosene can be halted by a single bolt in the port as far as Calcutta ( And it has happened circa 2046 BS democracy movement, if I am not mistaken).
Our country is not developing or not even in the likes of potentially developing country. And I would unequivocally put our biased vision and narrow belief system to be the main reason. OUR RELIGION, and CASTE SYSTEM.
Ponder upon it, should you find hypocrisy in my words. I love Hindi movies as much as I love English movies or even Nepalese movies. If nudity in black and white is an art, why a color nude picture deemed as pornography? If you can find the answer to that, you will know what I am talking about. If not, ignorance is not bliss, revelry in ignorance is bliss.

PostScript: If I should offend some readers or posters, I apologize, as is not my intention but to inform you and share my ideologies. I am a hypocrite, yet I have a clear concept of the matter at hand.
