Whether it's cigerettes or cooldrink cans, the brand is alwasy discretly (or not) directed towards us. <BR/><BR/>But nonetheless, I was just pointing out the extent to which smoking is done so openly on the big screen.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment, Paresh :)<BR/><BR/>*SheetalSheetalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00903153969125644669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17189260.post-1155744456299645442006-08-16T18:07:00.000+02:002006-08-16T18:07:00.000+02:00The ban on Smoking on-screen has two important asp...The ban on Smoking on-screen has two important aspects:<BR/>1. Directors say its an attack on their creative liberties. To a certain extent it is true. Some characters do require to smoke, imagine Sherlock Homes without his pipe! But I personally welcome the ban on on-screen smoking. The average age of an Indian viewer is about 23. In metros, the schoolchildren are big fans of movies and they want to imitate whatever goes on in the movie. Hairstyles, fashion accessories and...yes, smoking!<BR/>2. It is unofficial, but the inclusion of smoking is an advt campaign by tobacco companies. In India, they can not advertise in any direct manner whatsoever by law, so this is another way of making it glamourous. IN most of the recent movies, along with the smoking, there IS a short glimpse of the BRAND of cigarrete (cigeratte pack shown). Now if your character needs to smoke on screen, let him/her smoke; you definitely dont need to show which brand is being smoked, do you?Pareshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00201780147536420649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17189260.post-1155730363479621622006-08-16T14:12:00.000+02:002006-08-16T14:12:00.000+02:00hey colleta!you make a good point, actually :)i wa...hey colleta!<BR/><BR/>you make a good point, actually :)<BR/>i was watching SALAAM NAMASTE (preity zinta & saif ali khan) with my mum the other day... they were about to kiss, and my mum was like, "they're not going to kiss"...and 3 seconds later, they were so into it!<BR/><BR/>i'm looking forward to saturday & hope you are too!<BR/><BR/>lotsa love<BR/>sheets<BR/>xSheetalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00903153969125644669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17189260.post-1155728141137662742006-08-16T13:35:00.000+02:002006-08-16T13:35:00.000+02:00i can not believe this, its funny how, kissing is ...i can not believe this, its funny how, kissing is not allowed on screen but u can smoke all u want. im ashamed of my bollywood sisters who allow themsleves to be poisoned by the death stick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
