The gory memories of 26/11 may have finally reached a dormancy in the minds of the affected, but the tragedy has certainly not been forgotten. And with B-Town movies bringing forth cinema reminiscing the bitter moments, putting the past behind hardly becomes any simpler.

Madhur Bhandarkar's much-awaited Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji is seizing attention for the same reason. A scene from the film, making a clear reference to Kasab, is raising eyes enough! However the genius film-maker sternly denies any intentional reference to the Indo-Pak issue or the 26/11 catastrophe. He insists on the film being a light romantic comedy and trusts that the smart audience shall receive this scene without unprejudiced nonchalance.

The said scene causing controversial waves, is, according to the film maker, set out as a funny one, wherein a dog is being ridiculed by calling it 'Kasab'! No doubt it attempts to throw a direct taunt by naming a dog after the infamous terrorist. In its own way it makes a statement of what attitude should be met out to such anti-social elements. The makers insist on it being all in good jest despite the much ado caused.

We hope and pray Dil Toh.. successfully bails out of controversies, and succeeds at the box office eventually.
