The Indian cinema saga: The Dirty Picture not to be broadcasted

Indian cinema entered it's hundredth year yesterday.

Disheartening to see that the I&B ministry has just darted the World TV premier of National award winning `The Dirty Picture` on Sony TV. Following the cancellation, here is a list of people who have suffered losses:

• Sony TV - for obvious reasons
• Advertisers - investing for the prime slot
• Media - foul name due to presentation of hollow news
• Viewers - now that was obvious. People are somehow daring to watch Ra.One today following the TDP tragedy.

Fully understanding the concern and awkwardness arising from Prime time broadcasting of 'The Dirty Picture' in India, I am somehow forced believe that the step taken is right. Indian audience is definitely not mature enough, escpecially the large group of viewers belonging to the middle and lower-middle class.

The awkwardness has to be shed. When we have borrowed the balls to make such films from the west, we must make a conscious effort to get some balls to  broadcast it in public, during the prime time. Only then can we say our nation has truly progressed.
