Its been more that 24 hours I watched 'Bombay Talkies' and still cant get-over that passionate kiss shared between two men... The whole experience of watching Karan Johar's short story was mix of an embarrassment and a shock. May be first of a kind hence unable to accept that someone can actually show something like this on screen... It wasn't just me who thought this way, as i realized half of the people had left the hall after the end of first story...
But is that just the mindset or the fact that most of us don't belong to the category makes us so uncomfortable to the whole idea... so far we have seen rapes, gruesome murders, filthy language, vulgar item numbers on screen but no-one has ever left cinema hall due to them. In-fact these are purposely added by film makers to increase the viewership... two people choosing their partners as per their wish cant get worse than that.
It takes me back to my college days where the concept of homosexuality was first introduced to me... well yes, you can blame my small town upbringing the awareness about such a thing came pretty late. It can be my immaturity or whatever but I automatically use to become distant from the person who was either rumored or was really a gay. "Its not a normal thing, I think its a psychological disorder" my first claims. But it didn't take long to witness few most talented people who were nice human souls ,had a knowledge about the subject, were gays and were of course very NORMAL.
