I was wondering about how much we hate some people. Like I hate these religious fundamentalists in India (RSS, VHP...). I hate Dawood and lot of other people.
Among the hundreds of people we don't like, there are a few proclaimed as public villains. Dislike towards them is not due to personal agenda, but because they are the filth of the society and are publically despised.
Writers and movie-makers capitalise on this hatred of ours and make movies where the hero beats up the villain. We clap with every blow that the villain gets because we model him as the one who needs a thrashing. We start patronising the on-screen heroes in real life. In short - Common man wants a filmstar's company because he has beaten up the bad guy.
What kind of movies do these villains of real life likes? I think even Dawood Ibrahim watches bollywood movies where the villains are beaten up. I know that these Mumbai Dons patronise film-stars and like their company. Why do these bad guys want their company. They cannot have the same reasons as of the common man stated above. What goes on in their mind? Did the "Chambal ke Daku" also like Ramlila depicting the win of good against evil? I have read something about Verrappan making a risky move of going to a cinema hall once to see a movie. He got trapped by police inside but still managed to escape. Real life villains do like movies.
A thousand such questions but no answer. Will have to meet one of these guys to clear my doubts. These bad guys really are wierd people. You can't reason their acts.

I now wonder vthe same thing and i think the answer lies in the fact that those guys like to see these heroes who beat up bad guys dancing to their tunes!! so they can show the world that ur heroes are just our puppets!!!
