The TV grab of filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma trudging through the debris at Taj Hotel will remain one of the more grotesque images of the aftermath of the sixty hours of mayhem in Mumbai, last fortnight. I have been trying to figure out what was so disturbing about it and why so many people felt offended by it. It was promptly dubbed ‘terror tourism’ and soundly berated.

In fact, it is interesting how so few of the Bollywood fraternity, who walk in and out of these 7-star hotels everyday, actually came there physically during or after the shootout. Even later, when an assorted bunch from Simi Garewal, Dia Mirza and Jaaved Jaffrey to Preity Zinta, Raveena Tandon and Sharmila Tagore did come on to the TV discussion panels, they sounded out of sync and had only banal or hawkish ideas to peddle. Despite the major glam star-cast, these TV shows were flops. Agents of the cinema seemed like sly interlopers here.
