OMG -The After Effect

Recommended the movie to many people, discussed it with many. But there is one discussion which I am going to share with you all now...


I was asked a question...Even though Muslim and Catholic religions were included in the Court Case, don't you feel the Onus was more on the Hindu spiritual leaders.

No...our discussion was not anti or pro any particular religion...we agreed to the point that no other religion has that kind of tolerance power. Seriously it true. Had the movie showed a case first against the mosque and church...or included the case along with the first case...the theatres would have erupted in violence instead of whistles and claps.

Ok..so if we Hindus are tolerant then why the riots. All religions are tolerant, it's the followers who are not.

Actually I like the way Muslims come together every Friday for Namaz or the way Christians for their Sunday Mass. It creates a Community feeling. Hindus with their numerous Gods visit the temples at their whims, at their timings. But then such community gatherings are often used to spread a message by those in control of the place where these gatherings take place. Mass messages good and bad are given out.

Somewhere all religions need to learn from one another. Imbibe the benefits...then maybe this world can have peace.

As for the movie, Very cleverly the most tolerant of the three religions was put on the front and by the time those watching the movie understood that this is not anti God or Anti Religion the other two religions were also included. Kudos to the makers

  1. Jayant, one of the reasons you see all coming together on Fridays / Sundays, is due to the other religions making it a mandatory event to be attended.. They take their kids from the age of five to the Mosques / Churches, whereas we ae more tolerant in that if our children want to go, they go, if not, they have the flexibility..

    Religion for the Hindus has never been the all encompassing factor of life..

    1. I am not saying that is should be made mandatory...but certainly it enhances the community feeling....
