Is there a need for politics in Cinema? Now the new rule says that the central Government can cancel the Censor certificate given by the Censor Board.
That means the Ministers will have a right over the Censor board to cancel the certificate that they have given.The Cinema people are opposing the new Cinematography act proposed by the Central Government led by Narendra Modi. The filmi people have written a letter to the Centre opposing the new act.
The letter says the proposed amendments would render filmmakers “powerless at the hands of the state as more vulnerable to threats, vandalism, and intimidation of mob censors.”
Like bending the back of the film fraternity, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has proposed new amendments to the Cinematograph Act under which the Central Government would have the power to revoke or recall certification of films which have already been cleared by the Censor Board,” the letter by cine people reads.
“Undermining the sovereignty of the Censor Board and the Supreme Court, this provision will effectively give the Central Government supreme power over cinema exhibition in the country, potentially endangering freedom of expression and democratic dissent,” it adds.
Some big directors and producers are of the opinion that the Cinema should be left to the cinema people and if the Cinema is not good, the people will outright reject the same.
If the Cinema is a good one the people will entertain it. These days it is all Pan Indian Cinema.
