Why do all award-winning movies need Hindu women experiencing sexual frustrations, I wonder.

fantastic review. movies which pander to accolades based on the assumption that dull, boring cinema will undeniably be considered art.

"The desire of the individual takes precedence and trumps the will of the world." -- what bullcrap is this? Who is this "world"? And why is it imposing its will on individuals? Under what authority? Consent of the governed?

The statement is merely descriptive of the deeds of those individuals, Anu and Shiaz. Pipe down.

This article is not worth the storage space it is occupying. It reeks of paternalism. I will pipe down, but you need to smell the coffee. Society no longer cares for what society thinks.

“Society no longer cares for what society thinks.”

In that case no one cares what you think and say.

I, for one, am not society. How poor are your reasoning skills?

"Since both are young and having fun, they must fulfill their passions without any hindrance and obligations"

"Since romantic love is unsupported and unrecognised by society.."

Nobody really cares about what society thinks anymore in personal matters. What upper middle class thinks today, whole of society is going think tomorrow. I reckon you're going to be very demotivated with where the society is going.

Society is composed of people, including you. If you are able to think and say things, what makes you say that other members of society don’t think? Have you not seen that normal and decent people still outrage over the obscene activities that happen in the society for example, obscenity in Delhi metro. Maybe you live under a rock or are an avid voyeur/exhibitionist yourself.

“Nobody really cares about what society thinks anymore in personal matters.”

It seems you do care about how (members of the)society think. And by the way, the law(made by society, in case you were unaware)thinks about these matters too. That's why public obscenity is an offence, incest is an offence and so on .
