I don`t know if this films are made to create awairness for people or make laugh at differently abled. Check particularly comedy films ,tv show you feel like hitting directors, actors for their insensitivity. Even movie Black I don`t think was properly made, I donot know other peoples view Thanks Amit -----Original Message----- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of jignesh thakur Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 12:15 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Acting blind is difficult: Deepika Once I was walking on a road with my 2 visually impaired friends.

We couldn't understood, he was praising us or anything ells. What message the films spreads?
