I had the bitter misfortune to watch the trailer of “The Love Guru” at the movies this weekend. It promises to be just as delightful as I expected. With sight gags and the inclusion of Verne Troyer in the cast- do you honestly believe that this movie will threaten Hinduism? ( See earlier posts 1,2, 3)
The main feature was the immensely watchable “Iron Man”. Without giving away too many spoilers , some points to ponder:
- Why would terrorists in Afghanistan speak Hindi and Hungarian ?
- Why is there a saffron flag in the background when said terrorists shoot a ransom video where they read out their statements of demand in “shudh Hindi” (”pure Hindi”)?
This leads me to suspect a big Hollywood plot against Hinduism- first “The Love Guru” , now this - irrefutable proof that they are intent on perverting everything that is good and holy.
If you ask me , instead of wasting time over the “Love Guru”, we should be protesting the “Iron Man”.That way we stand to get free tickets to a movie that is at least watchable!

Thank you for your reviews. When I landed on this page, I was pushing up the mouse curser to see the whole pic with the car - lol, great!

[...] Why and how should Hindus protest this movie? - If you desire free tickets - desi ishtyle. Become a Hindu fundamentalist and protest the references to the Bhagavad Gita as the Bible, which as we all know is against “Indian culture” and a blow to out already super-fragile egossensiblities. Who knows, you may very well end up with free tickets, as some people have successfully done with “The Love Guru”. p.s. Don’t forget to mention your entire family was offended.
