"You cannot take the kids with you, 'Magadheera' is an adults only film, "said the security guard at Inox multiplex in Hyderabad. "Oh, but isn't it just a semi-periodical fantasy film that children can watch," asked Uma, my wife. As Tejaswini, our 6-year-old daughter and our friend Radha's sons, Bhargav and Pranav looked disappointed that they were going to be shunted out, came the solution from the same guard. I as the parent/guardian just had to give an undertaking that I take "responsibility for any consequences arising out of children below 18 watching the film". As I filled in the sheet, giving my name and phone number, I noticed ten others had made a similar promise for getting children to watch 'Magadheera' on Sunday. For every law, there is a way to beat the law.
