Why Stop at Smoking? Stalking Is Injurious to Health Too!
Falling in love needs a disclaimer too in Bollywood.

We’ve got to admit this – with anti-tobacco and anti-alcohol warnings, and cuss words being beeped out, we have completely killed creativity in Bollywood films and advertisements.
And it looks like the remaining scenes – after all these restrictions are imposed – will be subjected to the scrutiny of state transport secretaries. Meaning, we might see disclaimers for scenes with overspeeding and rash driving, in the near future.
The inclusion of this disclaimer was discussed last week among senior officials of the Union Home Ministry and the Delhi Police. According to a media report, such scenes have a strong influence on people, especially young minds.
The proposal will be further discussed on 29 April, and if accepted, the changes would soon be implemented.
Since the list of disclaimers for films keeps getting longer, we at The Quint decided to add a few more warnings to the seemingly neverending list.
Love Comes With a Price
Falling in love is not all rosy and looking at the current scenario, ‘love rage’ probably kills more than road rage.
Stalker Alert!
Seriously Bollywood, you need such warning clauses for all the films you’ve produced – Anjaam, Darr, Dastak, Fan, Raanjhanaa. It’s like Bollywood is abetting the stalker formula.

Shaadi Mubarak!
Crossing the Road Thrills, But Kills!
A staggering number of people are killed on the road while walking or crossing the road. It is risky business and it’s definitely no walk in the park!

Yikes!
