Rules- Love beyond class, age and gender

I finally got down to watching Rules after a desparate battle with Neural Networks. Ah!What a refreshing change it turned out to be! The first Hindi movie in a long, long time I have actually enjoyed watching till the end.

I hope Rules is the harbinger of the change in Indian mindset about gays and lesbians. The film rightly portrays love as a universal force beyond caste, class or gender. It is a “cute” movie that everyone can identify with- the second movie I have come across on teenage crushes (the first was Guddi).

But I think the alls-well-that-ends-well ending does not augur well for teenagers. Millions of star-struck teenagers may get the wrong ideas after watching the movie (no, I dont think any teenage brat is level-headed enuf! :) )

Milind Soman, watch out! you might just have brought it upon yourself! :)
