It has been discovered on this trip the high number of sensitive topics in Indian culture. Topics that are used in Hollywood and the Australian Film Industry as good entertainment content.

Religion, sexuality and politics are common themes in Western film culture. They are so common that controversial films are still aired and enjoyed by large audiences. Any negative responses, if any, about the films are shared through social media.

Religion huge element in the Indian culture. 80% of the country are Hindu and 13.4% are Islamic. Then, 2.3% follow Christianity, 1.9% are Sikhism, 0.8% are Buddhists and 0.4% practice Jainism, (APECSEC.org, 2014).

Religion in Bollywood films is prevalent within the cinematic content. We discovered this ourselves when we watched Anybody a and Dance 2, and the main character performed a prayer to the God as a part of his morning ritual.

Homosexuality is punishable by law in India, (Washington Post, 2015). Therefore, films involving this 'issue' is highly controversial.

When we met with Hansal Mehta (pictured) he discussed with us his current project involving homosexual behaviour. After his award-winning film Shahid, Mehta was attacked in the streets by an audience who didn't agree with the story he was sharing.

Though, taking a look at the latest controversial film in Hollywood, 'The Interview', South Korea had threatened the nation should they go through with the films release. Ignoring the threat and distributing anyway, a large audience went ahead and enjoyed the film. The controversial content of the film surrounded the relationship between America and South Korea, and involved an attack on the government of South Korea. No reports show any of the cast and crew for being physically attacked for their involvement in the film.

The censorship board in India is ridiculously more strict than that of the Western film culture.

Hollywood has released films with homosexual content, (Brokeback Mountain, Swan Lake and I Love You, Phillip Morris) as well as films like JFK, Irreversible and The Last Temptation of the Lord. All films with controversial content, yet still aired and enjoyed by audiences, (IMDB, 2015).

The western culture have in place the classification system which allows a board to decide what audience the film is best suited to. That's not so much the case in India. Fifty Shades of Grey's release was banned in India by India's Central Board of Film Certification and instead an adaptation was released, (Time, 2015).

Shivani - Mehat's niece who joined us on some of our adventures - shared with us of seeing Fifty Shades in India. She said, "It was half an hour long and had the two people talking about loving each other". And we all know Fifty Shades involves a lot more than just talking!

It just goes to show how much more social issues our culture is exposed to through entertainment.
