We
watched "Life of Pi" (3D, in Hindi) last weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed its
wonderful visuals and an award winning story. Also, could not remain without
being touched by the sensible portrayal of Indians and religions in
the film. There was no insensitive provocation, no blunt remarks on religion,
no tagging and no stereotyping done anywhere. References to Baby Krishna, Lord
Vishnu, Jesus, Vegetarianism or even religious conversions, were made in a
manner which would offend no one. I found this in contrast to what Indian movie
makers and even popular TV shows are doing these days with their philosophy of
doing social service by offending people. Even the most difficult subject - the
concept of God - is shown in a very beautiful manner in the movie. The young
actor Suraj Sharma is so splendid. I think India's domestic film industry
should learn many things from such movies.
