This is a quick movie review/recommendation of an Indian film starring some of Bollywood’s finest: Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, and others. My alternate title for this movie is “Crayons and a Pink House”.
When Divyansh Pandey picked this topic to write about, he probably did not realize it but he picked a part of the world to write about that is of interest to me. His description of this wonderland is both charming and sad. In one instance, he calls Kashmir the “Switzerland of India” but in the title of his post, he calls this place “The Bleeding Heaven”. Extracted some profound and thought-provoking statements from the short article written by Mr. Pandey:
“Kids are picked up from school by militants and brainwashed to fight against India. For them, Its like ‘Born in Heaven brought up in hell’.”
(NOTE: The site where the article was published was shut down and I have been unable to find an online copy of the content republished elsewhere on the web.)
My interest in Kashmir developed after watching a film that was released in 2000 called “Mission Kashmir”. It was very sobering and there were two sentences or phrases that played over and over in my mind long after the movie had ended.
Movie Quote 1: “Were you dreaming of a pink house?”
Movie Quote 2: “… placing carbines instead of crayons in the hands of innocent children …”
Please bear in mind that my nationality is American, so my perspectives are that of an outsider. For me, the fragile thread of humanity extends all around the world and can so easily be snapped at any point. Kashmir, in my humble opinion, is one of those points.
A great movie! If you have not seen it, you should add it to your watch list.

Thanks, Kashmir used to be Heaven on Earth but now left a gloomy shadow what it used to be not so ago. I have visited the state at east 200 times. I was posted there as a project manager.
The last news reports that we heard on American TV about Kashmir were not favorable. In fact, another news report I heard said that there are a lot of angry people all around the world. People in so many countries are protesting and rioting. Current world affairs are really giving the statement “Pray for world peace” a whole new meaning.
Only have seen this Bollywood dance on tv shows and it is fascinating.
Here in Austin, Texas, somebody started a studio where people can come and learn Bollywood dance routine.
That is great and sounds like fun.
I watch movies a lot, and everything is unheard of to me
Growing up only American movies were available to watch except for our public TV stations which showed some British TV. If it weren’t for video rental stores with foreign movies, I may not have heard of them either.
