On the print, it is clearly written ‘For Censor’, giving rise to doubts that it has been leaked by someone from the CBFC office. Not just that, the pirated film was made available in DVD too in Mumbai.
ADHURI KAHAANI HAMARI KRISH THROWS RADHIKA OUT MOVIE
It may be mentioned that the full 2 hours 20 minutes of the movie got leaked on the net even as it is scheduled for release on Friday. That is where everyone starts to agree to reasonable limits on what can be said and set down legal markers in an attempt to preserve a democratic, civilized and tolerant society……….so the debate for freedom of expression is somehow lost again? How can the so-called free speech defenders control the narrative with their verbosity to spread prejudice and mistrust? What I was trying to say technological /internet age is jeopardizing part of this freedom of speech because it is now also flooded with bigotry and provokes a dangerous environment. Freedom of expression in the form of hate speech and propaganda may instill beliefs of inferiority in others, the very things free speech is intended to protect. But there are times I am totally conflicted and never been able to grasp the freedom of expression debate in ‘totality’ because sometime provocative speech adds insult to the idea of free speech where words can be used as weapons to assault, and then you wonder why few words / expressions should remain unspoken. Technically given a choice I will want to err on the side of freedom of expression / speech and that being our fundamental right. Many sane voices have been pointing at Rating system which seems totally fair theoretically but one does not know how the implementation process will work in India which still remains a highly unregulated. To your comment Paapaas in other thread – ‘to cinema – you get what we call – Censor Board.’Īgree to an extent but we also need to have an understanding that Censor is a very different beast altogether and has become irrelevant in today’s age of worldwide web where most have access to everything at click of a button.
