Contines
In
Her
Letter...
Just
imagine
the
impact
those
mothers
would
have
whose
children
are
suffering
from
CP.
Every
mother
would
think
that
disabled
children
would
turn
gay
due
to
non-acceptance
by"normal" people.
I
have
utmost
respect
for
the
LGBTQ
community
and
appreciate
those
who
come
out.
But
being
gay
because
no
one
accepts
you
is
as
bad
a
feeling
as
someone
molesting
you.
Kalki
did
a
fine
job
as
Laila,
no
doubt
in
that.
But
other
characters
should've
been
developed
for
the
film
to
be
accomplished
as
well.
Sonal
Continues
To
Write
to
Shonali...
How
did
you
educate
your
audience
with
the
condition
that
Laila
was
suffering?
You
didn't!
The
word
Cerebral
Palsy
was
uttered
twice
or
thrice
in
the
entire
movie.
I
felt
sorry
for
Revathi's
character
(Aai)
because
of
the
well-crafted
scene
where
she
was
combing
her
hair
and
the
emotions
made
the
audience
feel
bad
for
her;
but
precisely,
only
for
that
particular
scene.
The
protagonist
(Laila)
was
straight
away
victimized
in
the
film.
When
she
was
not
able
to
get
the-action
from
the
lead
singer
of
her
band
due
to
her
disability
you
showed
that
she
go
for
a
physical
relationship
with
Khanoom
who
is
a
visually
impaired
girl.
Sonal
To
Shonali...
Sexuality
was
certainly
blown
out
of
proportion;
pointlessly!
The
carnal
needs
of
a
disabled
person
are
portrayed
in
a
haywire
way
and
the
helplessness
to
meet
the
same
has
also
been
exaggerated.
Sonal
Wrote...
I
waited
throughout
the
film
as
to
where
you
would
educate
your
audience
with
what
the
condition(Cerebral
Palsy)
the
protagonist
was
facing,
but
none
of
your
character
explained
about
the
same.
Being
a
new
subject
for
Bollywood,
you
should've
explained
the
same.
If
Aamir
Khan
is
supporting
your
work,
he
should
have
given
you
inputs
on
your
work.
As
in
Taare
Zameen
Par,
the
difficulties
faced
by
the
protagonist
were
missing.
And
when
you
showed
one
of
them
(when
Laila
wants
to
use
the
washroom
at
Jared's
place),
the
next
scene
made
its
focus
back
to
sexuality.
Sonal
Shocked
If
a
disabled
person
has10
difficulties
in
their
life,
SEXUALITY
WOULD
BE
THE
TENTH!
When
the
critics
acclaimed
your
movie,
I
was
sure
that
it
would
have
a
message
to
the
masses.But
when
I
left
the
movie
hall,
my
mind
was
blank.
I
was
shocked
rather
than
inspired.
In
Pic:
Shonali
With
Aamir
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.
Due
to
lack
of
research,the
film
couldn't
make
the
required
impact
on
the
audience
and
hence
they
were
left
incomplete
after
the
movie.
Sonal's
Concern
In
Letter...
Apart
from
this
my
other
concern
is
about
the
sick
people
out
there.
Some
of
them
would
have
watched
your
movie
and
got
inspired
to
molest
a
disabled
person.
Would
you
take
the
blame
for
it,
if
someone
molests
a
person
who
is
immobile?
The
message
through
your
movie
was
clear
that
if
you
know
someone
with
a
disability
take
a
chance
and
due
to
low
self-esteem
the
disabled
person
might
have
sex
with
you.
Sonal
Didn't
Hate
Entire
Movie...
It's
not
that
I
hated
the
entire
movie.
I
liked
the
scenes
where
Laila
was
empowered.
It
was
really
inspiring
to
see
that
overcoming
her
disability
she
composes
lyrics
for
her
college
band.
The
inter-collegiate
band
competition
scene
where
she
gives
the-finger
to
the
judge
due
to
discrimination
based
on
her
disability
was
also
perfect.
Although
the
characters
of
the
family
members
were
not
developed
quite
well,
the
scene
where
Laila
gets
accepted
in
NYU
and
her
Mom
supports
her
over
her
father's
decision
is
what
struck
the
right
chord.
Families
of
such
kids
are
close-knitted
and
loving.
Sonal
Is
Hardcore
Bollywood
Movies'
Fan
I,
being
a
hardcore
fan
of
Bollywood,
get
inspired
by
movies.
And
I
think
there
are
millions
of
people
out
there
who
are
like
me.
I
want
Bollywood
movies
to
make
greater
impact
on
millions
more
and
hence
this
open
letter
to
you.
Final
Request
Of
Sonal...
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,-
