Political problem
God knows why the Indian film makers only sensationalize political problems. Thanks to them, half of our citizens hardly know anything about the ground realities. Lamhaa, the new Bollywood movie is just far from ground reality in Kashmir. It deals with sensitive question of Kashmir but hardly understands that real Kashmir has nothing to do with flashy actors such as Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu and Kunal Kapoor, nor do Kashmiri separatist leaders behave like Anupam Kher who plays role of a so-called hardliner. For how long shall we depict Kashmir as a meatball! Shouldn't we try to understand the grim realities? This movie comes third if it is trying to start a debate. It rarely supports role of many silent social activists, who want peace back but also in a dignified manner. Rahul Dholakia would have done a great job, if only he had not given 'filmy angle' to a very sensitive issue. Perhaps, he has forgotten that Kashmir is like hero of his previous movie- a lost kid.
