I was living in Mumbai when the blasts took place and have gone through the trauma. Few comments on the film: - the film courageously departs from all the established Bollywood norms and courageously portrays Kashyap's signature dictatorial style - Sanjay Dutt's involvement would have been a "spicy" addition to the script, however Kashyap's surgical razor's sharp focus kept it out as irrelevant - Making such a high-impact film, yet be impartial, is an achievement in itself. Nowhere does it cast a judgmental vote on any kind of moral ground. There are couple of Kashyap's interviews if you want to read more about the man who apparently owns the largest personal DVD collection in India: http://in.rediff.com/movies/2005/apr/05anurag.htm http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2001/oct/13paanch.htm Cheers, and let's pray for a safer world in the future!

I watched it when I was in Bhubaneswar. I didn't know back then that it hasn't been officially released. @PS I am not really sure whether the "banning the movie" on the request of the convicts was wrong or not; but then thing otherwise. What about a case where the convict is NOT guilty. Wouldn't the movie bias the views of the common public? So the law is, in my opinion, okay. ...but hey! Wait a sec! Who would get biased? Nobody watches these movies. <strong>::</strong>Working class is busy the whole week earning; and then busy the weekend spending at INOXes/IMAXes...Multiplexes. They don't have time to DEVELOP views on these issues. <strong>::</strong>Poorer class likes to see their superstars in Armanis, buying helicopters (KKKG) and dancing (any bollywood multi-starrer). <strong>::</strong>Media as we all know is priceless. They don't get time from Rakhi Sawant's ***** (wildcards), Abh-Ash Marriage. So.... What the HECK! @indisch

Even a film like "Parzania" which simply tells a story of a Parsi couple losing their child during the madness has been prevented from being screened in parts of the country. Dude, all this has got nnothing to do with the reasons dished out by the government. It all boils down to some jackass politicians finding the comments disturbing enough to accept it being showed to the common public. Its not just the case of Black Friday..
