Recently there has been a spate of movies on Muslim terrorists in Bollywood and most of them try to be politically correct while at the same time trying to depict ground realities.
Movies which come instantly to my mind are black Friday, sarfarosh, Black or White, Fanna, Aamir, Khuda ke liye
In 90's when Films were yet to get industry status Indian movies were msotly financed by underworld money and one could see its effect in storyline of films. Glorifying urchins, road side thugs, smugglers etc. Not a single movie was made in this period which was unambiguous in its message
Black Friday : This was a good attempt to reconstruct the events as they were without much change which is pretty rare in India ( remember Border).
Instead of sermonizing movie simply shows what happened Muslims were angry after babri mosque demolition.Police acted partial during riots and underworld was Muslim dominated and this came handy. One very sinister undercurrent of this movie and which is apparent worldwide that as a community Muslims are more susceptible to be brainwashed by community in danger rhetoric as has been demonstrated by history innumerable times.
Sarafrosh was a fresh air and it was mostly a crime thriller with Indian touch. It had two main Muslim characters in Nasseruddin Shah a Pakistani artist who abuses Indian hospitality and Deputy of Amir khan who feels he is discriminated by system because he is Muslim.
Fanna was an outlandish communist propaganda justifying terrorism in Kashmir and actually shows "dhimmittva" attitude common in bollywood
Aamir was different but once again it does not expose the Hippocracy of terrorist mastermind and actually gives a credence to vicitm mindset in muslims without paing attention to fact that more hindus are living in more pitiable conditons than muslims lviing in mumbai ghettos
Balck & WHite was once again a movie with appeasing tone. By characters of Anil kapoor it tries to show that always Hindus have to be accommodative and go extra mile in palacating muslims.
Pretty similar to kingdom of heaven menatlity of hollywood.
I seriously wonder when will our movies start to show real things in real way !!
