We can comment on or criticize that vision after seeing the film, but if we expect director to make film as per our vision, then that would be our film and not director's film. There is no rule that good side has to be shown along with bad side. > And look at the absurdities…A boy becomes a national hero > on a game show.

Is this kind of confinement > possible in this age when television cameras enter your bedroom? The confinement was only for one night or at most less than 24 hours. Nobody might have even come to know about his confinement so they are not able to take any step. As per government rules, even a warrant is not required, even an FIR need not be filed for such a "detention" which is not an arrest. By showing that, Danny has highlighted another ugly part of indian administration. Real Police is much worse than the one depicted by Danny Boyle. > If > one of our filmmakers had made the same film we would have blasted him > out of business." he he he. Our filmmakers have made many films on riots, poverty, torture, and every topic. And we would not have felt bad about our our own filmmakers showing all those bad sides. We are finding it hurting because an outsider is showing us it all. > > "Let them give as many Oscars as they like. We don't need to be > impressed," ends Priyan angrily.
