Masala Movies And Pluralistic Indian Society

This afternoon I was watching RDB on Star and the just deceased Prakash Mehra's Khoon Pasina on Sab. Its a common knowledge that RDB spawned entire generation of conscientious citizens who were unwilling to take injustice lying down. Candle-light vigils, protests and participation did influence the outcome of the high profile Jessica Lall and Priyadarshini Matoo murder cases.
