No Love in India
Filed under: Film Flickers
The Mike Myers-fronted comedy flick Love Guru may be banned in India.
What'd he do????
Hindu groups in the country have reportedly requested that India's Central Board of Film Certification and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting ban screenings of the picture in India.
About 80% of India's population are Hindu.
In March, U.S.-based Universal Society of Hinduism president Rajan Zed was one of the first to protest the film when he said it "appears to be lampooning Hinduism."
However, an official with India's Central Board of Film Certification says they have yet to receive a formal ban request from any of the country's Hindu groups.
Uhmmm….
Isn't a comedy supposed to lampoon????

I think you're being too generous with the term "comedy."
ah, sensitive ppl are the hindus. i dont care what religion it is. so what if they made a crazy movie out of all the religions in this world. let ppl bring some comedy into this world. BRING IT OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!
Who else is sick of these hindus spouting their ignorant, uneducated comments? Yet they're here in America. SHUT IT!! It's pretty much only you dumbasses left on this thread anyway. GEEZ! And Sharmilla you're poor excuse for a human so put a lid on it!!! To the hindus: everything you've said has made me dislike your people all the more. Nice job guys
Sam you have to be the most infantile ignorant SOB on here. Ok I'm going, I can't read any more of the hindus diarhea of the mouth anymore. Go Americans 
Hi, I'm a Hindu of Indian descent, born and raised in Canada, and while I don't care about the post or the movie, I am really f*cking insulted by some of these comments about "not bathing" and "shitting in the streets". You people are sick and you disgust me. This is why the world is such a f*cked up place.
India is a poor country, the States isn't. Get over it.
I'm a hindu and I'm ashamed what my people have done on this thread. You didn't help and you've made us look bad. Shame.

PEOPLE ARE SO ANGRY. SO DESPERATE FOR AN ARGUMENT. SO INSULTING TO EACH OTHER. I THINK THAT THE TITLE OF THIS PAGE AND ITS COMMENTS SHOULD BE "NO LOVE ANYWHERE, HATE, HATE, HATE". ANTI-AMERICAN, ANTI-HINDU - EVEN SAW JEWISH AND CHINESE REMARKS.
YOU ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES - EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, REGARDLESS OF RACE, COUNTRY, PROFESSION, ETC.

Re: Bath & layoff the curry –
SO IGNORANT, YOU WOULD MEET CRITERIA FOR MR?? GO FIGURE WHAT IT MEANS!!!
seriously people need to get over themselves…there are nast things about americans…trust me i've hac the pleasure of living in arkansas and missouri for a year…people are missing teeth and smell like shit…and trust me they are not indian! Anyway if the movie makes fun of the hindu religion, that's not cool. I don't think a movie making fun the catholics, or jews, or even the mormons of the u.s. would go over very well. Before you talk about India, think of all the disgusting things that happen in our "civilized' country, or do people not watch the news?!
Re: Jake – umm..actually india is "free" too, so i have no idea what ur trying to say…………we're definitly more liberal than most countries are, considering we're the world's largest democracy
Re: America the Beautiful – uh, u know they could be typing this from india…….*gasp!* whoa big surprise they have computers there!
duh u moron if it wernt for their intelligence, we wouldnt know how to work these fucking things
Re: SARAH STUPID – im not indian and ive never even been there so i wouldnt really know the conditions there, but if that is really true, are you telling me that like an ingnorant cunt ur going to make FUN of a country's poverty and issues? we are trying to help other countries like in africa get rid of their poverty, not sit back on our fat asses and laugh at them. but i think u just proved us wrong.
besides, i heard that other parts of india are growing economically. like the cities of mumbai and new delhi.
oh, and the whole reason they're a poor country (if you've ever read a history textbook), is cause the british took all the riches back when they were ONE OF THE RICHEST KINGDOMS IN THE WORLD
The Love Guru has already been previewed by numerous people and everyone is saying they can't stop laughing from beginning to end and that this film is better than Austin Powers!
India should not ban the film, as it is releasing pretty much worldwide and they shouldn't miss out! Plus, there are many Indians in the actual movie and why wouldn't fellow Indians want to support that?
Also, I agree with the poster above that Canada's #1 new Hit is LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE, and it is a comedy that has certainly helped break down barriers…plus, the HINDU Deepak Chopra supports this film (and I believe also makes a cameo in it!).
So I dont know where this came from, but if India is smart they will support the film.
