"I find it strange that the encouragement of all kinds of abnormal behavior on TV, and in the public eye, has become an endorsement of reality,” said Dibakar.

“I was searching for an answer. What exactly happened to us that we find it entertaining when people are obnoxious to each other, when they swear, scheme, argue, and act vulgar and stupid? Why in the world is this being called reality?” added Dibakar.

Dibakar’s third film, LSD deals with relationships and conflicts in them. All of it is being captured on camera with or without people’s prior knowledge. The film shows how camera intrusion affects people’s life.

LSD given “A” certificate
The censor board has issued an “A” certificate to Dibakar Banerjee’s film “Love, Sex Aur Dhokha” and has also asked the director to blur the controversial love-making scene between a couple.

“We were told this scene was too graphic and needed tempering. There’s no way the censors could allow the love-making scene. We’ve clearly been told that even before the film is submitted for censoring,” said Dibakar on “A” certificate issue.

“But no complaints. Considering the controversial content, my film got away easily with little cuts and an ‘Adults’ certificate," he said.

Media responsible for promoting reality shows
According to Dibakar, reality shows these days are crossing all the boundaries of decency on television.

Every little thing is turned into sensational news by media to grab attention and people too are curious to know about other’s life so they hook on to reality shows.

“I honestly think this tendency of people being curious about misfortune, disaster, controversy and scandal happening in other people’s lives has been stoked by consumerism and media,” said Dibakar.

“When you have hundreds of channels vying for your attention, they will obviously resort to s**t like reality shows to grab eyeballs. The line between private and public is a blur," he said.
