A kiss is just a kiss?

The things they’re showing in the movies these days, well, it’s just disgusting, and somebody needs to take action. So, this guy in India has filed a criminal case against two actors whose newest film actually shows them… kissing…  That’s right.

Bollywood actors are conveying vulgarity in the society, the lawyer told Reuters. These films cannot be watched with our families, they are so vulgar at times.

The kiss, in Dhoom 2, lasts just a few seconds and wouldn’t even be noticed in an American movie.  But in India, where people tend to frown upon intimacy in public, the film was released with a parental discretion certificate.

A local court accepted the petition to punish actors Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan, and said it would hear the petitioner next week.  Here’s the story:
