Bengalis Whine Over 'Avengers' Movie

Not content with the attentions of visiting Hillary Clinton, Bengalis are now whining over the depiction of Calcutta slums in one scene of the Disney/Marvel superhero movie 'The Avengers'. Well, if you don't like being associated with slums, then solve the problem rather than asking everyone to ignore it.




I saw the movie over the weekend, and it's quite a treat for comicbook fans - a truly action-packed summer blockbuster. It's actually broken all box-office records, drawing $200M in its opening weekend in the US, which is on top of the similar amount it earned abroad.
