Is Bollywood inspiring "Terrorism"?

The recent attacks looked too filmy...

 

Could the young men behind the dastardly terror attack in the city

have been influenced by a string of terror films - Bollywood and

foreign - as their modus operandi shows an uncanny resemblance to some

of the movies, including the recent A Wednesday and Die Hard.

 

The terror strikes in Mumbai have killed at least 110 people and

injured over 313 others, bringing to people's minds movies based on

similar plots.

 

The Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher starrer A Wednesday, which

revolves around a fateful Wednesday when a man (Naseer) calls up

retiring commissioner of police Prakash Rathod (Anupam) and tells him

that he has planted bombs in five places around the city, brings alive

the panic and havoc shown in the film

 

Other movies that have been based on terrorism in Bollywood have been

Mission Istanbul, Mumbai Meri Jaan, Hijack, Black & White, Fanaa,

Black Friday, Mission Kashmir, Dil Se, Sarfarosh, Roja and Bombay

among others.

 

Govind Nihalani's Drohkal, Ayesha Dharker starrer Terrorist and Mani

Ratnam's critically-acclaimed Kannathil Mutthamittal were also on

terrorism.

 

Sunny Deol too delivered an array of movies, including Jaal: The Trap

and Jo Bole So Nihaal.

 

Other films on terrorism are Fiza, Sheen, Dhokha, Qayamat: City Under

Threat, Hindustan Ki Kasam, Zameen, Pukar, Dus, Yahaan, Yun Hota Toh

Kya Hota and December 16.

 

Britain based filmmaker Jagmohan Mundhra's Shoot At Sight and

Pakistani director Shoaib Mansoor's controversial Khuda Kay Liye also

brought back the memories of such attacks, showing terrorists

attacking without any reason and causing casualties.
