Dhoom 2 Kissing Affair : Lawsuit Against the Actors

Well today our (Oh so highly) judicial court would be passing their judgment on whether they think the pair i.e. Hrithik Roshan and Ashwariya Rai are guilty of corrupting the minds of our innocent youth and offending 'Bharitiya' women.

The law-suit was filed in the court of judicial magistrate first class R K Batham by advocate Shailendra Dwivedi under Sections 292 (vulgarity) and 509 (derogatory to women) of the Indian Penal Code.

For those who read my blog on a regular basis would be aware of my thoughts on the kissing episode. According to me it was totally "thanda", so one can totally forget the feeling of being offended and definitely no arousing. I thought Hrithik did a good job, as in he kissed well but Ash did not give her 100% to the act. Now that could be due to the presence of the other 'A' factor in her life or she is simply a bad kisser.

I was really amused when I heard couple of newspapers reporting that this particular sequence actually caused a tiff between Ashwariya and (maybe soon to be in-laws) the Bachchans. But to actually have a lawsuit filed against the two stars for this one scene is not only unjust but downright idiotic.

Now whatever may be the "actual" reason behind the lawyer's decision of going to the court, what I don't get is the fact that if the Indian Censor Board gave the shot a clean chit then who the heck is he? I mean isn't that the very reason why we do have a censor board in place, so that they can chop of all the unethical, vulgar, anti-religion, etc. types of intentions from the film industry?

If any and every one can file a lawsuit or stall a film in spite of it being cleared by the ones in authority then we might as well get down with the whole practice of having a censor board. Doesn't it make more sense?

Another thing that pricks my mind is that where was the lawyer when the Indian film audience saw the arrivals of Sherawats, Hashmis and the likes. And doesn't he watch Mahesh Bhatt films? How come his personal moral police woke up only when he saw a big-budget film with two of the most-salable actors in the country? I guess when you look at it this way, it becomes quite clear as what made the lawyer "do the do".

It is my opinion that the judicial court should have just dismissed the concerned lawyer's petition the very first day instead of actually setting up a date to pass a judgment and thereby wasting time and giving undeserved publicity to the people and the film involved. In a country like ours where thousands of crucial and deserving cases go through a never-ending waiting period, giving priority to such matters serves no purpose for the nation or its people.

Hopefully the court's decision on the concerned matter would be in favor of the actors involved and it would be even better if the court sets the record straight over such lame cases which could actually help in refraining others from coming up with more such cases.

To make things even more clear here is the video of the talked-about scene, so you guys can judge it for yourself. And just one thing though, do not blink or you might miss it.
