Their deaths are less real to you than Dutt's comical Munnabhai character. Dutt was consorting with people like Dawood Ibrahim, as do a lot of Bollywood types. Anyway, I don't think they should hammer Dutt in particular, but they should use this event to tighten the screws on Bollywood and its above-the-law mentality. 266436@desicritics.org Wed, 1 Aug 2007 01:29:27 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/07/31/111610.php#comment-266292 I dont think he should have been jailed for 6 years.another 6 years will only ruin his career.

But I'd say the 6-year sentence on this one guy is overkill, considering that his was a crime of foolishness and not terrorism. 266047@desicritics.org Tue, 31 Jul 2007 19:36:44 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/07/31/111610.php#comment-265717 Grimly humorous Kode at work...Quote from Judge Kode..""Act till the age of 100, I have only taken away six years," "Don't get perturbed for you have many years to go and work like the 'Mackenna's Gold' actor, Gregory Peck," Kode told the star in an informal conversation that lasted almost 10 minutes. In an apparent attempt to cheer Dutt, Kode told him that he had seen the actor's performance with his late father Sunil Dutt in Munnabhai MBBS. "In the film, your father looked much better than you," the judge said. 265717@desicritics.org Tue, 31 Jul 2007 14:32:01 EDT
