After receiving a six-year prison sentenceon July 31st, Sanjay Dutt, an Indian film star, begged for bail while heappealed against it. Sir, I made a mistake, he said. But the judgesaid no. Mr Dutts crime-tohave procured two guns from Muslim mobsters who were responsible for bombattacks in Mumbai in 1993-was serious. Yet he urged Mr Dutt, 48, to return tothe silver screen after serving his sentence. Dont get perturbed, he said. Youhave many years to go and work, like the Mackennas Gold actorGregory Peck.
Thus ended one of the longestsong-and-dances in Indiascriminal legal history. Mr Dutt was convicted last year, having already spent16 months in jail. He was acquitted of direct involvement in the bombings,which killed 257 people. They were carried out in 1993 in revenge for thedemolition of an ancient mosque in the Hindu holy city of Ayodhya by Hindufanatics, and subsequent Hindu-Muslim rioting. Some 100 people have been foundguilty of the bombing. They have all been sentenced in the past three months,including a dozen to death and 20 to life- imprisonment. But the allegedmasterminds of the attacks are still at large. One of them, a Mumbai gangstercalled Dawood Ibrahim, is alleged by Indian officials to be linked to al-Qaedaand to be hiding in Pakistan.
Despite the bleak immediate outlook, MrDutt, who made his name playing tough-guy anti-heroes, is unlikely to find hiscareer much damaged. The son of two of Bollywoodsbiggest stars, a Hindu-Muslim couple, he has garnered enormous sympathy for hissuffering. Many Indians believe his claim that he wanted the guns to protecthis family during the riots. Other Bollywood stars express support for Mr Duttas passionately as their Hollywood peers worry about global warming.
Then again, Bollywood is rather shady.Gangsters and crooked politicians have long laundered ill-gotten money throughfilm productions. Indeed Mr Dutt was investigated over money-launderingallegations in 2001. Other recent Bollywood stars to grace the courts includeMonica Bedi, an actress convicted of dealing in fake passports. Her accomplicewas another Mumbai gangster, Abu Salem, who delivered the guns to Mr Dutt, andis currently awaiting trial for his alleged part in the 1993 bombings.
An even bigger Bollywood star, Salman Khan,is appealing against two prison sentences of five years and one year forpoaching respectively an endangered antelope and two gazelles. A Bollywood filmabout the case has been scheduled. Mr Khan has also had to battle afour-year-old charge that he recklessly drove his car over five people sleepingon a pavement in Mumbai, killing one of them.
Bollywoodsbiggest star, Amitabh Bachchan, also known as the Big B , is, incontrast, venerated. Where Mr Khan is vain and brash, he has a reputation forhumility and Hindu piety. But even this has been imperilled of late byrevelations that Mr Bachchan and his film-star son, Abhishek, bought valuableplots of land reserved for farmers. They registered themselves thus after beingallotted farmland by a former government of the state of Uttar Pradesh, led bythe Samajwadi party. Mr Bachchan is close to one of the partys leading lights, Amar Singh, a famedsocialite. Mr Bachchans wife, Jaya,an actress, is now also a Samajwadi politician.
