Nevada (USA): The boycott call of Hindus against Hollywood movie "The
Love Guru" for lampooning Hinduism has been very effective,
contributing to its blunt failure at the box office, Rajan Zed,
acclaimed Hindu leader, announced this week.

Zed, who spearheaded the protest movement against "The Love Guru"
starting in March, stated that although various issues contributed to
its failure, but the boycott was one of the major factors. Zed, who
issued the boycott call after seeing the film on its release, said that
according to reports, many Hindus as well as non-Hindus have been
shunning this movie in USA and Canada, where it was released on June 20.
