First things first : When I talk about the boldest scenes in Cinema, I am not going to post nude and rape scenes. \ud83d\ude09 These scenes can disturb\/shock a person but cant shake him from within. The most sensitive aspect that touches a person instantly is their religion and films that question the beliefs held by them are the ones that ruffle their feathers the most.<\/p>\n
1) Lajja<\/strong> is one of the lesser talked about films in Santoshi’s career. He is a director known for giving strong roles to his heroes but it is rather ironical that his Lajja, a strong woman oriented film is never talked about on forums which probably is the boldest film he has made to date. Check this scene from Lajja, a Ramayan play in which Madhuri questions the attitude and ego of Rama towards Sita during Agni Pariksha. The arguments\/dialogues are really bold and is a point to pander about. I was not surprised when I could not find a good quality video of this scene. Not many will have the stomach to debate on this topic. <\/p>\n I never liked what supposedly Ram did during this incident. It was very sexist and cheap to ask Sita to do an Agni Pariksha just because Raavan kidnapped her and took to Lanka. Somewhere our tradition of suppressing women comes from this incident where always a woman has to prove herself but never the man. And even after she passed the fire successfully, she is abandoned by Ram when she is pregnant citing the reason that he is not sure whose kids they are. This is the worst thing a husband can say to his wife. <\/p>\n Somehow I don’t feel this is a true incident. I think its manipulated by male chauvinistic writers over the years and they have concocted this entire episode .<\/p>\n
