As they say opinion is like an a*****e. Everyone has one. With each film releasing, one or the other objection from some quarter or the other seems mandatory these days. However, many a times, a movie sees itself trapped in unnecessary drama including court cases and press conferences — although it gets free publicity in the process -- much against its own wish. The logic behind such controversies usually begs for... err... logic.

Ram-Leela

This Sanjay Leela Bhansali film made (bad) news for apparently hurting religious sentiments. With the film having a strong Gujarati background, it wasn’t even shown at several theatres in Gujarat. The funny thing about the row is it took the ‘offended’ party several weeks to realise that they are indeed offended. After all, there was no noise whatsoever when the trailers were launched. Besides, it’s not the first time the word ‘Ram’ is used in the title of a film. Ram Aur Shyam, Ram Lakhan and Ram Jaane instantly spring to mind. However, the invested parties took caution and changed the film’s name from Ramleela to Ram-Leela before finally pinning on Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela. Uff!
