Kalki Koechlin starrer Margarita With A Straw has received fairly good reviews and has been hailed by B-town celebs as well.
But someone has not liked the movie and has taken it to social media to express the displeasure.
TV actress Sonal Vengurlekar has written an open letter to Shonali Bose the director of film expressing her displeasure on the adult scenes.
Here are some of the extracts from the open letter:
Dear Shonali Bose,I am writing to you as a fan of the Bollywood movies.
I am writing to you as someone who has been a close accomplice to a person with Cerebral Palsy (CP).I am writing to you as the movie you produced or held up is not closely related to how people with CP are.
The only subject of the film was sexuality. I was embarrassed to see the movie as I was accompanied with someone who happens to be a CP patient. She was infuriated with the storyline as it was only about sex. For a disabled person, sex is the last thing on their mind as there are so many different things to worry about; their relationship with their close one, their talent nurturing, their acceptance in society as normal people, and many more. BUT SEX IS THE LAST THING ON THEIR MIND, I guarantee!!
Aamir Khan said in an interview that Bollywood makes movies where the disabled are always shown as a friend or a relative but never the lead. When he had his share in Taare ZameenPar, he did a wonderful job. But now when he is supporting your cause, he should have given you some inputs on how to do research about the people suffering from the condition.
Finally, I have one humble request for you. In case, if you make a movie in the future do some extensive research on the lead character and how their persona affects the other characters in the storyline. It would certainly boost the quality of your films and make your audiences content as well.
A true fan of Bollywood movies,
- Sonal Vengurlekar
