Purpose of Natya Shashtra (science and art of stage performance) is to remind way of living to the viewers by performances. What are performances? Dummy demonstrations of life. Theme always used to be defeat of Evil by the will and power of Good.
On the other hand, each Bollywood movie presents life-degenerating demonstrations. Making fun of Good and glorifying evil. In movies like Rang de basanti,good dies in the end, defeated by evil. Subconsciously, it instills fear in young minds that do not revolt..or you will be silenced. It pumps more animal instincts in you. Certainly not a worthy of spending short and critical life given to us.
न तज्ज्ञानं न तच्छिल्पं न सा विद्या न सा कला ।
नासौ योगो न तत्कर्मंनाट्येऽस्मिन् यन्न दृश्यते ।।
कोई ज्ञान, कोई शिल्प, कोई विद्या, कोई कला, कोई योग, कोई कर्म ऐसा नहीं है, जो नाट्य में दिखाई न देता हो।
No Wisdom, No Craftsmanship, No Knowledge of Subject, No Arts, No Yoga, No Work which is not seen in Dance(Natya). – Natya Shastra, 1-116
Our folklores, poems and stories were never written for the sake of providing entertainment. Take any scholastic work beyond Ramayana and Mahabharata, you will find reference to niti shashtra, Ayurved and other terrains of life.
Totally opposite to this purpose, current form of Bollywood is so destructive in nature that it consumes all senses at full throttle and yet there is no benefit produced. Time wasting and life destructive activity. This is the fundamental reason why external sensuality focused Bollywood is useless to society and I will keep opposing it.
#BoycottPk and all filthy versions of Bollywood. Save your and your next generations minds from soft perversion. Don’t be soft target of evil design.
Mind you, the eternal symbols prevails despite mockery. It is you and your society who will be kept away from benefits. So boycott of a movie or bollywood is won’t save culture but it will save your soul for sure.
I am not in favor of ban. Ban shows your insecurity. You don’t need to be insecure. Participate. Boycott.
