Reader discretion suggested, for the following article !
Yesterday, saw the movie Kalyug.
A hard hitting film. More than the picturisation, what makes it so good is the story, a novel theme.
I'm not aware, whether it is inspired by some hollywood flick. But, the point I want to make is that the message conveyed strikes a chord with us, at least the youngsters.
It's an open fact, that the IIT LAN itself, is flooded with a lot of porn. And most of us are all part of its distribution, sustenance and continuity of the industry. After arms and narcotics, the porn industry is the biggest crime-industry.
Agreed, there might be some who are into pornography willingly ( ? ), but many innocent women/young girls are in it, because they were forced, decived, kidnapped, exploited, drugged, video-taped, blackmailed and had no way of getting out once they were trapped. Think of their status and situation in the society. Young girls are smuggled into other countries, sold, made addicts of drugs and coerced into making of sexual orgies. Use of technology and internet has only increased these in an exponential manner.
Kalyug forces a person to think twice, it reminds us of the pathetic state of the people involved, whenever we might tend to see a porn/blue film.
That one liner, which everyone is bound to take home is
" Kisi ek ki takleef doosre ka tamasha hotha hai ".
Caution : Probable plot spoilers ahead
The movie begins with the statement that the :::
56 billion $ porn industry thrives on the exploitation of the innocent...
The movie ends with the protagonist saying
" Jab mein India se yahan ( Zurich ) aaya tha, mein un logon ko takleef pahunchana chahta tha jin logon ne meri zindagi barbaad kar di. Lekin ab woh maksadh poora hone ke baadh bhi mujhe sukoon nahin hai. Aaj samajh mein aaya, baba sahi kehte the ki agar apne dil se uthe dard se chutkara pana ho tho kisi aur ke pair mein chubhe kante ko nikalo "
Then the hero goes on to tell Annie ( who was trapped in the Pornography racket )
" Kya tum mere saath chalogi " [ and thus, making the supreme step of taking a girl in the porn industry into his own life, in turn helping her by giving her a new lease of life & epitomising : " To serve others is to serve GOD " ].
