I don't know if you have seen LSD (Love Sex Dhoka) - a recent and good Hindi movie. It is disconcerting as it shows the reality of media and caste bias etc in a graphic fashion and is shot in a "blair witch project" style. The money quote in the movie is by a Tehelka style journo who says - "Desh ko seva nahi, prime time entertainment chahiye!" Both TV and Newspapers in India provide that. -- Vinayak
