There is another aspect of the matter. With the vast reach of the
electronic and print media and communication networks in each and every
nook and corner of the country, inhabitants of no part of the country,
howsoever far removed from the cities, can be said to be so naïve as to be
not able to distinguish between real and fantasy. The petition undermines the
average intelligence of Indian citizen and proceeds on the premise of Indian
viewers of film to be of such an intellect and understanding so as to
immediately after watching the film, start imitating the fantasy (and which
they are certainly incapable of) shown in the movie.
The subject film from the trailer is found to be depicting a fantasy to
the viewers and has to be understood in the said light only. In fact, in some
scenes in the trailer, the adivasis are shown with two horns and having the
lower body as of an animal and the upper torso of a human being. The
reference in the film to adivasis is not found to be relatable in any manner to
scheduled tribes.
