Nishabd
Nishabd means Wordless, in the literal sense. However, in the movie, the word accentuates more on the unexpressed feelings encompassing the emotional and quixotic love relationship existing between a 60 year old man and a sexy 18 year old teen Girl. An adaptive amalgam of the novel/movie Lolita and American Beauty, the movie brought into the limelight a new bold image of the Old Superstar, known for his larger than life image, and, more importantly, a sizzling seductive sensation in the form the young actress Jia Khan. And with the movie came, the very concomitant, controversy regarding the message that the movie would send to the society.
Jia Khan was invited to a tv show to answer questions directly from the people with a view to pacify the criticism against the movie and it's content. Flaunting her ravishing body recklessly in the movie Jia Khan may have been comfortable but, not so in the show, where people asked her a number of questions that pervaded the boundaries of weirdness and hilarity causing the NRI actress, trying to speak hindi, to get pissed and nervous. People didn't bother to ask her -" Madamji, in the real life, would you marry an old man like me ?" Most of them were more than eager to have her idea about the message the movie would give out to the kids, who were supposed to respect the elders not romance them and fantasize them nude. People felt outrageously bold to ask this - "Did Ram Gopal Verma really like your talent or you offered him something in the brief 10 mins meeting, in which you were offered the role ?" To cut the long idea short, people praised Jia for exposing enough skin to help them jerk off but, at the same time, rebuked her for acting in the movie opposite the old guy. Their treatment to her was like the treatment a road-side hooker gets with whom, given a chance, the same people would trade their daughters to get a mere blowjob. Consequently, Jia Khan, who just blew 18 candles in her last birthday, fell prey to the hypocrite junta, ending up being very equivocal and befuddled about why she had acted in the movie.
Censor boards and Ratings for the movie were ideas that were introduced to streamline creativity giving room to the film-makers to appropriately choose and display subjects, stories or skin with requisite mutual coherence. But with people coming out on rallies against movies, not only shows their worthlessness and leisure but also their petty-mindness. With so many Pedophiles, Pederasts and Rapists all over and News channels embellishing their stories in limelight, children and everyone in the society is aware of unconventional stuff and the consequence; so why criticize a movie, that shows an unusual relationship with a positive message to end with. At least this way, everyone gets to see actors like Amitabh experimenting with their images and sensuous ladies like Jia Khan in their full form.

Very interesting post. Liked it!!
indeed mr chokra. u have hit the point... far too often we miss the real picture and instead interpret facts to suit our base desires. to separate an "actress in a role" from the "true person" is an art that most of us, sadly, have not yet learnt. another thing that we miss is polish - be it is putting down someone or elevating, be it defaming or praising, be it in questioning or replying... there is an art of talking and reasoning we really do need to learn.

:) I like it. The post is funny and serious at the same time.
Watched the movie on Wednesday. I think everybody did an amazing job! Bachchan, Khan, Revathy, RGV... everybody! ...I thought, the movie was awesome!
@ Guruji : Honored to have your comment. The Blog's worth becomes priceless once you read and comment on it.
@Kaushik : U have hit the point too. Lack of reasoning is something that causes problems and exposes our biases so often but we are so very reluctant to learn. Awesome thought sir..
@Geetali : What worth is a blog if you don't like it. Having your presence, as a comment, is great ! And yeah..the movie's amazing indeed. Jiah Khan rocks.
Precisely. Moreover why the heck does a movie needs to propagate a message to society? People were crying over "Guru" that it is going to send wrong waves, I mean it just shows an aspect of life . Indian junta needs to overcome this "beneficial for the society" thing, nobody questions the social message a painting gives so why movie?
