All We have stretched this thread considerably. Now let us keep it behind and move forward from the Kabil mania. Firstly, this is a commercial venture.I don't think the producers had a mission to work on the awareness problem. As a bye product, it did some awareness drive. For any main stream movie, we the audience have no say in how the story should progress and what shape it should take. Putting our 2 cents in the social media taking this movie on the back drop would certainly drive home our points. Here, we are almost talking to ourselves.

Cause indian audience is still foolish, as an honorable erstwhile SC judge had some time ago, pronounced. The scene in question reinforces the stereotype of the blind as helpless and hapless lot. Besides, tell me, which of the negative preconceptions about the blind movie breaks? Surely, you don't believe blind can really engage in the streetfights Ritik engages in to eliminate the enemies!? Smile? Only silver lining is independent living which movie depicts with a semblance of realism. Otherwise, even meeting of the hero-heroine happens in a pre-determined matrimonial context, couldn't they have met in ordinary life and fallen in love like sighted protagonists? -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of avinash shahi Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2017 10:47 AM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Kabil There are countless ways of analyzing that sceen. I found the Rohan's decision to look for Supriya through a myke from the dais was a deliberate ploy of Sanjay Gupta and Rakesh Roshan. As Rohan started calling Supriya's name on the myke, The crowd became thoughtful. How's possible that a blind man can have girlfriend? and even a girlfriend of a same disability? then once she listens his voice and seeks help to reach on the stage to meet him, the crowd gets surprised. The movie-makers have done amazing research and their targeted audience is not only we who are the blind and enjoy our love lives with ease. But the highly educated non-blind Indians are averse to the idea of blind couple making up in a publick place. The movie hits the jack post with precision. And the people are rewarding the efforts.
