I've watched Indian movies that were controversial in India or some Indian states, and I can see how the western audience or curator could totally not understand what an Indian audience would agree with.

There was one Indian movie from 2004 that was controversial because it featured a lesbian couple. The movie had the typical bollywood love triangle, except the guy was ANGRY that the beautiful woman wanted to see another beautiful woman, along with seeing him. He expressed his anger and was trying to break up this "unholy arrangement" and correct the one woman into loving a man, and exclusively.

I'm more used to men expending all of their energy trying to get into situations with two beautiful women, and then accepting the improbability of two equally attractive and bi-sexual women existing.

So this movie was pure comedy to me, as well as the Indian state's extreme response. Just india things.

It is hard to understand the ideological assumptions of that pervasively conservative but kinda-wannabe-westernized society.
