In the last few days, people of India have really shown how tolerant they are. The entire fiasco with a Tanishq ad showing a happy family celebrating together caused so much uproar online, it was enough proof that we're regressing as a society.

And now, another movie is getting boycotted for hurting religious sentiments. Yep, that's the only reason anything gets boycotted these days.

What's surprising is that the people of the country seem to have turned against Akshay Kumar. 

With #ShameOnAkshayKumar and #BoycottLaxmmiBomb being the biggest trends of the day, people are really not happy with the actor or the movie.

Apparently, one of the problems people have is that the movie is about a possessed transwoman who has a Trishul in hand and goes by the pseudonym Asif. 

Uh oh. First problem, don't they know that communal harmony is not allowed here?

Secondly, people have a problem with 'love jihad', yet again, because Asif's girlfriend is Priya. Well, this is basically a repeat of the Tanishq controversy.

There was already a big problem with the movie, which was a straight person playing a trans character, but I guess everyone was just okay with the real problem and found other ways to show outrage.

Uhh.

An inclusive one maybe? Ignoring the obvious problem with Akshay playing a trans character.

But, boycotting firecrackers is a good idea, we don't need the pollution.

For decades people have tarnished the name of their Goddess Laxmi by putting the Goddess picture on a fire cracker and bursting it At that time no one raised their voice or no one asked to boycott any of these items. Stop being a hypocrite #BoycottLaxmmiBomb pic.twitter.com/yo3dvIeotG

Hey Charsi Canadian Kumar,
