I really liked that. Now we are talking

On the above note- its also those that bathe in cologne or aftershave !!
edited to add: oops - i replied to this without reading the rest of the thread - and realizing we are back to Bhatt.
so I'd like to add my 2 cents:
Mahesh Bhatt has made serious films and 'fun' films..I used to read more bollywood gossip years ago
but it sounds like he and pooja bhatt like to challenge social norms.
I like quite a few of his movies: Satwaan asmaan, Naajayaz, dastak (well the songs were good), Papa kehte hain, daddy, hum hai rahi pyar ke, Sir, Duplicate, dil he ke mante nahin, chaahat, Jism, ashiqui etc.
I dont think there was 'sex' in any of these movies except Jism. Even if there was (as I havent seen all his movies) so what?

Yes I do agree with you that initially he really made some nice fun movies
But lately he is challenging to Change social norms particularly by showing everything wrong about one Community

I dont think that is what he is saying.
You wrote:
" They always shows All wrong things are done by Hindu, they always support Pakistan, take Heroine from Pakistan, go to Premiere of their movie in Pakistan, etc
Whenever any riots happen they First show support to Muslims.
What is this going on?
One more fuuny thing is:
Any movie made is always based on True story of Mahesh Bhatt.
Take examaple like 'Arth', 'Naam', 'Zakham', 'Woh Lamhe' etc"
how does taking a heroine from Pakistan support pakistan?
what wrong things are done by hindu's?
I am not a theatre major or anything but arent there many producers/directors that use real life stories as inspirations for their movies?
Can you show that mahesh batt's movies have a significant impact on indian societies views and social norms? For example - did watching the film "Fire" turn thousands of women into Lesbians?
No - thats silly right?

First thing 'FIRE' movie is not made by 'Bhatt'
Also most important by showing wrong things about one community, sentiments of that community got hurt.
Check with any recognised Hindu society, organistion in India & u will get to how unhappy they r with 'Bhatt'

About 'Fire' - As I can see, he/she was only providing an example. Movies are simply a medium of entertainment. If one is being inspired from the any negative movie, then noone else is more foolish than him/her.
How can you say that the community's sentiments get hurt by watching these movies, or by bringing in the Actors from Pakistan? Can you provide any statistics to prove it?
As far as the recognised societies are concerned, since when they were happy about something? Please don't be as sensitive that a mere air bubble sway you away.
My 2 cents. Watch movies for entertainment factor only. If you think there's a movie, which doesn't confirm to your views and beliefs, please ignore it. The best form of censorship and restraint is self-censorship and self-restrain respectively.
Bhatt is a storyteller, and I don't find any fault with any Actor that he brings either from Pakistan, B'desh, Honululu, or Congo. I laugh at the jokes of Omar Sharif and equally at Paresh Rawal's. Treat the story tellers, actors beyond the boundaries. Try it please, if you may.
