I'd not seen the movie 'Dirty Picture' and was therefore thrilled to hear that it was being aired on television, over the weekend. From the rave reviews the film got when it was released all over the country to Vidya Balan sweeping all the awards for her stunning performance, the movie has had an irresistible attraction!
Moreover, it was a sort of biopic that covered the lives and times of the sizzling south Indian actress, 'Silk Smita' whose life was sadly cut short, years back, when she'd committed suicide.
It was announced that the movie would be aired at 2000h, today on Sony TV. But, subsequently, the airing time was changed to late night hours - after 2300h - following directives from the ministry of Information & Broadcasting because, presumably, parents/elders would be available and be able to guide the children during viewing time! If that was the reason, I must say that we're indeed living in a fool's paradise and are pretty hare brained!! Our children will have the last laugh!!!
I can't understand the irrational argument and wayside excuses when I'd like to believe that the people who take these decisions are in touch with reality and have their ears to the ground. Otherwise, they need to have a break and take a walk.
Tailpiece.
Anyways, the upshot of the whole incident was that the channel was continuously apologising for being unable to air the movie as promised. Instead, it showed the movie, '3 Idiots' yet another time and thankfully, at a stretch, with no commercial breaks!
