My morning began with an email in my inbox that carried the first posters of Great Grand Masti and well, it wasn’t anything I didn’t expect. The Masti franchise is not really known for its tasteful depiction of women or elegant jokes and I get that there’s an audience for everything. What I can’t wrap my head around is that we never heard any Censor issues over this movie (Sorry, Udta Punjab). I guess that’s the problem with the concept of censorship – it’s got to be absolute, but that’s another story for another day.
My point? I would’ve liked to begin my day without cringing. But why to blame Great Grand Masti alone when Bollywood has a legacy of cringe-worthy posters.
