IT IS GOOD TO WATCH MOVIES ON TV WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY TOGETHER DURING FESTIVAL SEASON OR HOLIDAY TIMES. BUT WHEN THE MOVIE YOU ARE WATCHING BECOMES VERY VULGAR AND OBSCENE, IT BECOMES VERY EMBARASSING TO SIT AROUND AND ENJOY IT.
PRIOR TO THE DAYS OF PRIVATE CHANNELS, WATCHING MOVIES ON DOORDARSHAN WOULD BE AN ENJOYABLE ONE. THERE WOULD BE NO VOILENCE, NO SEX, NO KILLINGS ETC AND THE WHOLE FAMILY WOULD WATCH IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.
BUT NOWADAYS THE PRIVATE CHANNELS ARE VIEING FOR MORE VIEWERSHIP BY SCREENING LATEST MOVIES ON THEIR CHANNELS. ITS GOOD THAT THEY ARE DOING IT, BUT THEY ARE DOING IT WITHOUT MAKING ANY CUTS TO THE SCENES THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE TO CHILDREN.
FOR EXAMPLE, DURING THE DIVALI PERIOD, GEMINI TV SCREENED THE HIT MOVIE, SIMHAADRI, STARRING JR NTR AS ITS HERO. BUT WHILE SHOWING IT ON TV, SOME OF THE SCENES SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED, LIKE THE ONE WHERE THE VILLAN RAPES A YOUNG GIRL IN A MARUTI VAN. THE WAY THE DIRECTOR HAS SHOWN IT IS TOO CRUDE AND VULGAR. AFTER THE VILLAN RAPES HER IN THE MARUTI VAN, HIS SIDEKICKS ENTER THE VAN ONE BY ONE AND RAPE HER. THEY ALL COME OUT ONE BY ONE WITH SHIRTLESS AND LAUGHING. ITS NOT THE RAPE SCENE THAT THE DIRECTOR SHOWED ON THE MOVIE, BUT THE EMOTIONS OF SATISFACTION OF THE VILLAN AND HIS MEN THAT TROUBLED THE VIEWERS. I HAVE TWO KIDS OF AGE 10YRS AND 7YRS IN MY HOUSE AND THE YOUNGER ONE WAS ASKING ME WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE VAN. I COULDNT ANSWER HERE CORRECTLY AND SAID THAT THE VILLANS HAVE KILLED THE GIRL. BUT LATER IN THE MOVIE DURING THE DEATH SCENE OF THE VILLAN THE SAME RAPED GIRL MAKES HER APPEARANCE AND ASKS THE HERO TO KILL HIM MERCILESSLY. MY KIDS LOOKED AT ME AND ASKED HOW SHE WAS ALIVE. I HAVE TO QUIETLY GET UP AND MOVE OUT OF THE ROOM.
SO, THESE KINDS OF VOILENCE AND SEX IN THE MOVIES WILL DEFINATELY MAKE OUR KIDS THINK INTO WRONG WAYS.
I STRONGLY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A POINT TO THE PEOPLE OF GEMINI TV TO NOT TO SCREEN SUCH MOVIES IN FUTURE AND IF AT ALL THOSE SCENES EXIST, THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THEM.
