I think its a lovely movie but , I too think Amir or Raju Hirani has gone overboard with this one. They definitely crossed the line.
I was thinking that it would be something on the lines of Oh My God, where the message is very similar, there too the primary target were Hindus but the line wasnt crossed as they tried to convey the message without directly hurting the sentiments of the Hindus.
I would also like someone to dare Amir Khan or Hirani to make a similar movie with Prophet Mohammed or Jesus christ, or any minority.. I am 100% he doesnt have the guts becase Hindu society is too soft a target and he's taking advantage of it. I am sure if it was Propeht Muhammed or Any sikh guru or Jesus christ instead of Lord shiva, the crowd would have supported idea of banning the movie. I say this inspite of me being a non Hindu, because our wanna be modern society just tries to showcase their intellects when they know they have the advantage to flow with the crowd support but the same society would have raised an issue if it wa a god from a minority religion... so I am dissapointed more by our intellectuals and society here than Amir Khan and the directors. But at he same time I would never approve of the actions by the bajrag dal or VHP or any group who resorts to damaging the public property in the name of protests.
