New Delhi/Mumbai: Do movies on terrorism really influence the psychology of the masterminds of terror? Could Saturday's heartless serial bombings in Ahmedabad, including in hospitals where the wounded were being rushed to, have been influenced by the recently released Hindi film Contract? While the older generation argues that violent reality movies have an impact on the impressionable youth, others scoff at the idea that the terror masterminds behind the Ahmedabad bombings took a leaf out of Ram Gopal Verma's action thriller Contract. In the movie, released on July 18, the villain Sultan plans to set off low-intensity blasts in crowded areas so that when the injured are rushed to the hospitals for first aid, they would trigger bigger explosions to maximise damage. The Ahmedabad blasts followed the Contract plot very closely a fact that even the police have reportedly admitted. "I admit that the Ahmedabad blasts bear an uncanny resemblance with the way the villain plotted his acts of subversion in Contract. But movies are very different from reality. Any similarity is just a coincidence," Prashant Pandey, who wrote the script for Contract, told IANS from Mumbai. |
