I switch on the television and am assaulted by Sameeras, Deeptis, Yanas and Jelenas. A bevy of Indian and Czechoslovakian beauties have hijacked my TV. And someone hijacked their wardrobe. Dressed (?!?) in thongs and tutus, they cavort around poles covered in what looks suspiciously like a fishing net.
So is this the ultimate titillation then? Are item numbers the figureheads of our promised sexual revolution?
Can you spell s-l-e-a-z-e??
Is it the masses who want these girls stripping to a remixed R D Burman song? Or is it the media that dictates what the masses want? Did Kurosawa make Yojimbo because Japan needed it.. Or did Japan realize the need for it after watching it?
Mahesh Bhatt says that "high brow art critics" should shut up and he's giving "the masses what they want". Mr Bhatt, you are a peddler of soft porn. You have the power you know, to shape public opinion. So take some responsibility. If you want to make soft porn, then call yourself Hugh Hefner and puff a cigar. Don't hide behind the "mass" excuse.. The media is more powerful than that.
And as for the rest of you empowered ladies who "strip only when the plot calls for it" and don't mind the lack of clothes "as long as its done tastefully" .. Get your clothes on and get out of my living room.
