An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
The movie opened with that line. The movie was good, althouh it could have been shorter. Two sequences have been dragged for too long, but the movie drives home the point: exactly how damaging religion is. The movie covered all the aspects of the blasts, everything from how the bombers justified it ("Blass nahi oti to musalmanon ka jeena mushkil ho jaata is desh mein") ("if the blasts didn't take place, it would have been difficult for Muslims to live on) and a nice reply by inspector Maria "Dharm ke naam pe chutiya ban gaye tum log, aur bante rahoge. Tum bante rahoge, tumheinmaarne waala har woh hindu banta rahega. Har woh aadmi jisko kuch nahi hain karne ko, dharm pe naam par chutiya banta rahega" (loosely translated to "You became cunts in the name of religion, and you'll keep becoming. You, and every hindu who hits you back. Anyone with nothing better to do will, in the name of religion").
I also see why the movie was banned (got it off LAN). It took the names of real restaurants, godowns and places, easily affecting the businesses of these places. For example, the stomach restaurant of Bandra, where I recently lunched, along with the name of the owner who was questioned for connections, Rakhesh Khurana.
The movie skirted the Sunjay Dutt issue though. There were some pretty disturbing pictures in the end, of kids, people and properties injured or killed in the blasts. You end up feeling intense anger for Advani and all those perverted fanatics who got the Masjid down. If you ask me, the Hindu community should let the Muslims rebuild the Masjid as a gesture of friendliness.
Some notes I do not know how to elaborate, made while watching the movie.
Ak-56
Pakistan Army ka samaan hai (Pakistanis provided the ammunition)
cathay pacific (Plane used to escape)
khancha (setting, deal, so that the trainees could get into Islamabad without visas)
"6 december"
hamare masjid ko shaheed kiya
researched developed exploisive (fullform of RDX, stupid eh?)
madarchot- censored chutiya~cunt-not censored
CBI arrested Memom's brother from Khatmandu airport and left him at Delhi railway station and arrested hi again
Advani Thakery would be made into gods if they were killed
Hindustan mein musalmano ka jeena mushkil ho jayega
Kabhi musalmanon ko koi aankh uta ke nahi dekhega (has happened)
disturbing images of charred children
Liked the ending of the movie though. These lines showed up after the movie.
Rudraksh Khan is out on trust
Rakesh Maria is now inspector general of police, Maharashtra
Tiger Memom is suspected to be hiding in Pakistan
Bombay is now Mumbai
The message in the final line is so subtle, but so dangerous, and so explosive in its conent of what is exactly going opn and wrong in the city, that only the last line could have banned the movie.
