Movie is full of very crude jokes & situations. <strong>At least two scenes in the movie will make you sick in your stomach. One of them, is students studying in a “gurukula” fighting with Guru’s urine. That is disgusting even for those who love all types of comedy. </strong> I cannot believe a world renowned spiritualist & Best Selling author like Dr. Deepak Chopra has come out in defense of this movie. How can he support an ethically and morally sickening movie? That is the million dollar question. Let me give him the benefit of the doubt. May be Dr. Chopra was totally unaware of the extend of vulgarity in the movie, until it was released. Movies like The Party [1968] by Peter Sellers made fun of Indians and their mannerisms. But The Party was very tastefully done and as such even Indians love to watch that. But The Love Guru has absolutely no charm at all. Even those who are dead against Hindus and Hinduism will find this movie distasteful for its disgusting portrayal of things.
