    THE most popular movie in India this summer is about a toilet. It nearly causes a divorce. It makes a father slap his adult son. It splits a village in half. But, ultimately, it is about a romance.

    More than just an ode to the commode, the film Toilet, a Love Storytakes on one of India's most serious public health concerns. Toilets are a big issue in India these days - there are not enough of them for the country's 1.3 billion people, and the national government is embarking on the biggest toilet-building campaign in the nation's history.
