The Tamil Nadu government has banned the controversial movie "The Da Vinci Code". Maybe Tamil Nadu government isn't as stupid as you might think. This what would have probably happened: Sony knew that the movie is never going to be as insanely successful as the novel so it packs off cash, a lone Playstation and some CD's to the CM's and asks them to ban the movie in the hope that the controversy that entails will generate enough noise to make the cash registers ring. Remember Fanaa? Mediocre movie; Critics had a field day; BJP banned the movie in Gujarat; Fanaa is succesful.
One just wonders whether the state governments are really wily or are they plain stupid?

Hello Boss, not only Tamil Nadu. (y)our state Andra Pradesh has also banned this movie.
I personally feel this kind of banning will attract more viewer via prirated CDs ;-)
