About FilmsSatya Prakash's POV


Film or any art form liberates the human world critically.

As a film maker and liberal person believing in universalization cannot go with opposition or ban of the film”INDU SARKAR” directed by Madhur Bhandarkar. Madhur keeps making a film based upon reality that prevails in our society. I am in support of “No Ban” to any art form of the world. The CBFC headed by Pehlaj Nihalani has been in controversy and brouhaha since he has been heading it for the matter of puritan form of art. Mr.Pahlani had gone against the film “ Lipstick Under My Burkha” produced by Prakash Jha who won the case in court and got the green flag of release. How can Pehlaj Nihalani be away from his own films that have obscene and kissing scenes in swimming pool. He had answered that after enthroning the post of chairperson of CBFC he chopped off the scenes after thirty years of their releases, makes me a great deal of laugh.

I and other arty persons must support the film makers for their creations. CBFC has to give the certification of the film like “A”, “U” “A/U” only with few advice.
Film must pick up the subjects from history and contemporary world. After the advent of Modi Government, Emergency has been the subject that has emotionalized the mass whilePM Modi begins to deliver his extempore speech on the brutality of system that had cropped up by Congress Government .Madhur himself has told that his film “INDU SARKAR” is influenced by the historical actuality of involving men and incidents that make the history of significance of emergency and seventy percent of the events in the film, has share of imagination and fiction. 


The film has great depiction of Sanjay Gandhi, the younger son of PM Indira Gandhi and husband of Cabinet Minister Maneka Gandhi and father of BJP MP Varun Gandhi but neither Maneka Gandhi nor Varun Gandhi had gone against the film. Either they sense it right publication on celluloid or they are afraid of raising a single question on this film.The fear not only mounts the pressure upon the corrupt politicians and creative middle class persons but also many who are inside the government at higher post.They have fear of losing the status whatever they have...
I admire Film Maker Prakash Jha who had gone to the court in support of his film " Lipstick under My Burqa" and he fought against previous CBFC constituted by UPA government for his film "CHAKRVYUH" for a song that contains the Ambani. The song was popular.
The film “UDTA PUNJAB” received monumental block from CBFC led by Pehlaj Nihalani but surprisingly this film does not paint the state Punjab in bad light. Mr.Pehlaj must be critical of his previous ban on few films that do not gather a single logic of cut and ban the film. So the banning the film itself is like an emergency imposed by chairperson Mr.Nihalani on Film Industry that is reduced in fear.
The congress party must learn about power of censor when it was reigning India uninterrupted , it had banned classic movie of the world “ AANDHI”. Congress Party has committed mistake in past by banning book, painting and sculpture and film. So the BJP has adopted the same weapon to attack on the films of other film makers and permits such films to release that help it ideologically.
I support the release of the film “ INDU SARKAR” .
