**QWERTY**

Alright, alright. I still watch Hindi movies and sometimes I enjoy them. It's freaking hard to find a decent Hindi film past 2000. Most of the time, they started to become more and more like Hollywood movies (sexy women, sexy scene whatever) but yeah, a handful were still wonderful such as 3 Idiots, Taare Zameen Par, Race, Munna Bhai MBBS, Faana, Jab We Met etc.

Early this year, I watched My Name is Khan. The film was very moving and I'm partly glad that a film like that was made and hugely successful. The message was pretty heavy, yet important, Islam never teaches us terrorism. It portrayed some values of Islam such as be good to everyone, not just Muslims, never miss your solat, etc. But there were some off points, such as, well, a Muslim guy cannot marry a non-Muslim woman but I guess there are widespread of 'mixed' marriages already (in India and Indonesia predominantly).

When I was studying Microbes yesterday, I feel like I couldn't take it anymore (5 days of study marathon almost made me vomit). So, I searched for any good movies on youtube, and I found Kurbaan.

Came from the same guy, Karan Johar (which in fact not a Muslim), the film still portrayed a mixed marriage between a Muslim and a Hindu. More off points this time, I mean who says you can kiss a girl before you are married to her. Wow, totally off! But I really, really, really hope that whoever watch this movie will not take in everything as it was.

Like, those terrorists in that movie, used their religion and their God's name as their ultimate motive. But really, those were just decoys since their real motive was revenge. Killing innocences will not get you a martyrdom. I mean honestly, they planted a bomb on pregnant woman and that was without her knowing. That's clearly not Islam.

I don't know, when that movie finished, I felt like calling the producer, urging him to show a few notes before the credit rolls, telling the audience, this is not Islam, that is not Islam. *sigh*

This got me thinking, we are so busy producing more engineers, doctors, scientists but media has a very powerful role right? We do need some people in that field so that our voices can be heard. I mean, Karan Johar is not a Muslim, we can't rely on him to make correct movie for us. Maybe his motivation was for humanity and that was already enough to get him going. Islam should be a stronger motivation for us then.
