the desi fillimi scandal

They'll whine about my ethics with flashing thigh. They'll be shocked and scandalised and blasphemed by an onscreen kiss. And yet, and yet, not one of them will ask about the ethics of portraying a stereotype, painting an inferior incompetent woman, or reinforcing the two dimensional character industry.
Just once, I'd like to read an article where the interviewer asks, in accusatory tone, "How could you support such filth as doormat wifeism, rehashed formulas and headache inducing buildups? don't you have any moral obligation towards your audience? is this how you uphold our culture?" Honestly, I'd rather do a graphic scene involving sexual intercourse in a film that has some real reflection of life than play a coy bride who needs her dishum dishum hero to protect her.
