For the love for god's and cinema, we need to think of a sociology of religion in which gods and humans are intimate to each other!
India has been witness to many cases against popular films dealing with issues related to the dominant religion, that is, Hinduism; for example the recent #Maharaj directed by Siddharth Malhotra, #PK (Raju Hirani, 2014) and #OMG (Amit Rai, 2023) trib.al/bjEFhrm

वक़्त के साथ-साथ समाचार चैनलों के भीतर यह आत्मविश्वास पैदा हुआ है कि देश के दर्शक उनके कार्यक्रमों को देखने और उसी अनुरूप व्यवहार करने के अलावा दूसरे किसी और स्रोत से ज्ञान और तर्क समझने की कोशिश नहीं करते। यह भले ही उन पर किया जानेवाला कटाक्ष लगे, किन्तु एक के बाद एक वे जिन सामग्रियों और मुद्दों को अपने कार्यक्रमों में शामिल करते हैं, इस मामले में की गई उनकी कोशिश गम्भीरता और मेहनत कम प्रशंसनीय नहीं है। बौद्धिक समाज का एक छोटा-सा वर्ग जिन समाचार चैनलों, एंकरों और उनके कार्यक्रमों को हास्यास्पद और फूहड़ मानकर यदा-कदा शान से यह घोषित करता रहता है कि मैं तो टीवी देखता ही नहीं; न्यूज़ चैनल और उससे जुड़े लोग इस बीच कैसे तथ्यों पर आधारित पत्रकारिता के पेशे को बड़ी तेज़ी से नैरेटिव आधारित कारोबार में बदल चुके हैं। @vineetdelhi की किताब ‘मीडिया का लोकतंत्र’ का एक अंश #मीडियाकालोकतंत्र #MediaKaLoktantra #RajkamalBooks #साथजुड़ेंसाथपढ़ें

#HeeraMandiOnNetflix isn't as bad as the reviewers' prejudiced reviews project. It has cinematic weakness. But it dazzles with the formidable performance of #manishakoirala, #SonakshiSinha and many more. Just that the male characters don't get their due space. Kudos #SLBS
