Its really sad.. this was on the top of my list of must-watch movies. :(
The TN elections are just over and ruling party needn't care a shit about public sentiments for the next few years.Then why the ban and who are they trying to impress?
Is it the same Catholic lady that Punjab's CM Amrinder Singh was trying to impress when he banned the movie? Is some reshuffle in the central cabinet expected?Man, this is getting crazier than I could ever think of.
@Anu: I hear the movie isn't all that good. Maybe you are saved.
@Bishu: Yeah, nothing can explain it.
True, I read CNN's report. But then, its one of my favorite books, and Im curious to see what they have done with it.
hi,
the film is nice for people who had not read the book
.tOM HANKS HAS not showed his talent.any other guy in place tom hanks the film would be hit.
the silas description is book doesnt match character
I am waiting for the day when the state goverment approves the screening of the movie, and the local councillors would then exercise their power and ban the screening in their respective wards, circle or whatever.
