SEE SUNNY DEOL AND DIE
Today is our special "Learn About Distribution Day". We won't talk about movies, we'll talk about what happens to movies after they get released, and one of the most basic lessons to learn is that you don't want your audience to die. Sunny Deol is one of Bollywood's reliable action dudes -- like Sylvester Stallone or Jean Claude Van Damme he releases lowbrow action fare on a regular basis and occasionally demonstrates that he's not a bad actor in other films. Problem is, he really likes to bait people with his films. In HERO he plays an Indian soldier battling Pakistani terrorists (featuring the immortal line, "To make one mistake is to be human. To make two mistakes is to be Satan. To make three mistakes is to be Pakistani." Aw, we ARE the world).
Now, his new flick, JO BOLE SO NIHAAL, features him as a Sikh police officer fighting terrorists. Well, this seems to have bothered some people and rather than write sharply-worded reviews, they're bombing the theaters. So far, there have been two bomb blasts with one dead and 50 injured.
