I just saw this movie..it’s about a 15 year old gal who gets pregnant with a 17 year old boy..i know bollywood doesn’t depict reality but unfortunatly, many ppl seem to think bollywood is reality and follow it’s footsteps.
so is that the new trend now?
i watched this movie thinking it’s going to be a social issue and wud teach the young generation a “lesson” but it showed more of the guy and gal and parents accepting them. it sugar coated the whole situation just like it’s done in movies.
i know premarital sex and out of wedlock pregnancies are increasing in % over the years but if bollywood and other cinemas keep disguising the real issues of being in sucha situation, then wat can we do as a society?
i saw this movie recently too. it was interesting, but i was surprised by the overall message. the message was that they were in love and it can happen at any age. there was a tiny emphasis on responsibilities and education- how is the boy going to provide for the baby, etc. But that movie can lead kids into thinking that a teenage pregnancy is ok if you’re in love and that the parents will eventually support you. Teenage pregnancies aren’t that shocking now anyways. Oh well, what can you do.
Message will reach them if teenagers watch the movie. My biggest thing is that there is no rating system in Bollywood movies and even if there was, not that desi parents were following it and restricting their kids to watch certain movies.
A rating system for Bollywood movies would be tough. This movie didn’t really have anything inappropriate or censor-worthy. It would probably get a PG or PG-13 rating- that wouldn’t prevent the teenagers from watching it. Everything can be accessed online too. That’s where education/upbringing play a role.
agree with wat u said. yeah i think this guy’s done a previous teenage type movie where the goes all the way to paris after his g/f..tat was also high skool drama but no1 got pregnant or had sex.
i’ve heard about unwed desi girls who are pregnant or have had a couple of abortions in the american communities. what can we really say? things get worse with time, right?
tat’s where my stance is different..u can give all the education u want but if they want to do it they will. education and upbringing do play a role but right eduction and right upbringing don’t GUARANTEE ur kids won’t do it.
true..and thanks to tv shows tat we watch these days..i think a yaer or so ago there was this dr. phil episode where this “saint”, beautiful gori 19 year old was on stage and issue was that she was too much of a saint..phil was saying/implying tat 19 year was too much of a wait and tat a kiss is ok. he was appaled by her response tat she had never kissed..so with tv shows like tat wat msg r we to get?
that’s true, it doesn’t guarantee anything. but maybe it’s the least that can be done. then there are also examples where if parents try to keep things away from their kids too much, over-shelter them, the kids get curious and go after what they’re being sheltered from. i’ve seen parents do that with their teens- like restricting TV from them because of vulgar TV shows or commercials (i guess the bud lite commercials? no clue)- but that doesn’t guarantee that they won’t drink in the future, it may go the opposite way and cause them to become more curious.
Nah, I thought it would be another Juno but it wasn’t. There wasn’t any adoption and the kids didn’t go to high school together. They ran away from home and spent the entire pregnancy away from their parents. The parents search for them. Also, the girl’s parents trying to accuse the boy of rape.
