The issue remains the same . How to view such visuals. Whatever the rationalisations and commentary, the way Sakshi codes such visuals assures that the impact is antiwoman.
I think it was the same MLA who took broom , provoked by the 'visuals' in Kairali news and Sakshi about Night Vigil. I don't believe in "poetic" or "filmic" justice. From justice's vantage point we all should stand by her in the (whole) issue.
