Sanjay Dutt aka Munnabhai MBBS has been sentenced to 6 years in Prison for illegal possession of arms in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts. Apparently, there are many Indians who believe that Sanjay should have been let-off with a warning instead of being given a jail sentence. And do you know the reason for such sympathy towards him? He is Munnabhai and he taught every indian Gandhigiri. So, does this mean that if Osama Bin laden acts as Gandhiji in a movie, then his crime should be condoned as well? Where else other than India do movies influence a society so much. We build temples for our actors & worship them even though the actors themselves haven't done anything good for us other than running behind trees with a co-actor. And now, we want to absolve a person of criminal actions just because he acted in a movie in which he preached the virtues of Mahatma Gandhi. Are you reading, Osama & Al Jazeera? :)
