Sandeep, I beg to differ. The industry definitely needs a control mechanism as it is already way out of its perimeter.

There are many ways to show otherwise crude scenes. However, these are blown out of proportion by the very media that marvels at movie making by transforming these acts into lewd ones and dare propogate as if it is the norm. Which, in fact, is not.

Why do the female vegetable seller needs to show her body?
Why do the 'innocent' village belle need to take off her saree?
Why do the dancers need to perform suggestively?
Why do the comedian's love interest show her body?

Are there any demand for these at all?
Would the audience refrain from viewing a wholesome family entertainer for the lack of such demeaning scenes? I don't think so!

The problem is, the industry is very much into creating demand for a market that they themselves are trying nurture.

As much as smoking scenes are abhored by many, the industry should stop at all cost filming such third rated ones too. Enough of the hypocrisy displayed by the industry and stars.
If only they know how ingorant and foolish they sound.

If smoking scenes are banned for the well being of the youths, so should the lewd ones.

Well said, a.r :thumbsup:

Cheers to ur post too A.R! :thumbsup:
Incidentally I recall watching the trailer of Thuvalutho Ilamai (teenage story, *ing Dhanush as a high school boy) on TV a few yrs ago.......in one of the songs they showed how all the boys in the class stare at the exposed waist of the teacher while she teaches, to the extent of moving their heads as she moves to the side! Tat was downright disgusting!! :evil: :banghead:
And to top it all, they give an excuse tat all this happens in reality.......but they don't bother to think.....this was a movie meant to be watched by teenagers, wat respect for women teachers r they creating in the minds of students w/ such lewd scenes, in the name of "entertainment" as Sarat Kumar the gr8 puts it :hammer: ! And its not as if many teachers wear Sarees in tat manner either!
Projecting women in this way is only stereotyping them as sex objects, which is a far cry from the women's lib. tat is being aimed at today!

Lambretta (LS)!

It was dhanush brother (Kasthuriraja's son, Selvaraghavan) who directed that movie. *******. Pls dont dig(care) to know about his next 2 films KK & 7G RC. Horrible!

FYAI, He has been honoured as a successful director in TFI :banghead:

A.R. agree with you.

Movie industry sure requires self-censoring and that 99% vulgarity in movies are not needed and doesnot tell the reality.

But I will add "dont just blame the movie industry. They are giving whatever sells" . There are hundreds if not thousands of men (note i am saying men not boys, most of them married) drooling over those scenes.

Why doesnt anyone from TNT do anything to stop these scenes. Why doesnt the general public boycott such movies. We have successfully done it in kerala. Where is Shakeela now. We forced the most popular star in kerala, Mohanlal, to stop acting in scenes by simply boycotting his films. His movies continuesly failed because women simply refused to go for them(2001 2002 years). There was no mob violence, no politics, no demonstration. But the message was delivered to him and the difference is seen in his movies in last 1-2 years.

True......I rem. reading sumwhere in the old TFM page tat in theatres in Madras, whenever scenes showing the pallu/munthani of a woman falling appear, the male audience gets all excited & claps/whistles over it! :evil: Imagine the plight of ladies who come there to watch those movies (which r assured to be "family" movies!)......

Wow! Tat's amazing to know! So does tat mean even porno/blue films r no longer made in Kerala (most of which I believe Shakeela acted in)??
I agree, if Tam. ppl. r as concerned abt culture as they demonstrated w/ Kushboo, they shudn't hesitate from taking such steps to prove it!

Adult movies are still made and shown but in a very limited manner. Unlike in the shakeela time.

But then the movies we are talking about are "family" movies not adult once. If movies are advertised as family movie then they need to confure to that otherwise fail. In one Lal movie (family) the only vulgar aspect was he makes double meaning verbal comment to the heroine (He uses the english word 'gap' is suggestive manner). Thats it in a week there was no family audience for the family movie and rest is history.

Why even consider the movie tamil movie 'Boys'. I read somewhere the movie was rejected by families because of the double meaning dialogs and message it gives. The personnaly felt the movie was well directed though the message it gave was utterly foolish and impractical.
