‘गोलमाल ३’ फिल्म के मामले में सचिन सर और नितिन जी ने जो पहल की है वह सराहनीय है. आजकल लगभग हर हिंदी फिल्म में पात्रों से हकलाहट का अभिनय करवाकर जबरन हास्य पैदा करने की कोशिश की जा रही है. हकलाने वाले लोगों को मूर्ख और मजाक का पात्र समझाना दुखद और अमानवीय है. […]
The Herbertpur group organised a press meet (above) today and spoke to journalists from the regional media (Dainik Jagran, Dainik Prabhat, AtoZ channel) and shared our concern about the Golmaal 3: it promotes stereotypes, caricatures a health condition with significant suffering and that it will promote teasing, bullying, harassment of people and children who stammer.

Hi, Today morning while having breakfast at home, I saw a promo of a forthcoming Hindi movie – Golmal 3.This promo portrayed stutterers in a very bad light, like they are dim-wits of people with less intelligence. I consider myself quite thick-skinned and am not usually offended. But this propose was plain tasteless and offensive. […]

Here are some more videos for doubting Thomases! I mean, those who doubt that PWS cant argue and have fun in a group! There are two role plays: Bhaskar intent upon selling Rupesh a self help book. Second, Vivek plays a very “experienced” therapist, selling a cure to Devang. Both are fun to watch. Group […]
Dear friends,Good morning,We perform bad when we are tense and under undue pressure. Now the question is what aggravates tension? To me doing wrong things and telling lie contribute towards tension. So we should believe in purity of life and live a honest life that eases us. Once we are calm from inside there is […]
