Sad, very sad. Some people would go to any extent to criticize and pass judgements on a movie such as TDP. However, they are probably the first ones to go and see it.
Now this is called as SELECTIVE MORALITY.
Good that you are brought up with Indian morals and values. Keep it up!
fortunately - we do not have to learn morals and values - we are brought up with it. Mohini - the type of language used in your comment ...
@urvash: If you haven't watched the movie, shut your mouth and stop being judgmental.
If you have watched the movie, then stop whining. No one asked you to watch it.
I am from the west as well and no one has forced you to adopt Indian morals and values. If you want to learn Indian morals and values, don't watch movies.
Vulgarity appreciated and given an award - what an impression on the youth - where to from here for Bollywood. more vulgar movies - they are appreciated by the Indian audience. do not make good meaningful movies. we in the west are adopting the Indian morals and values, what is the east doing!!!!!!! Glad Pakistan banned this movie.
