Jai Shri Ram: Censor orders to remove jai Shri ram from hindi film, Bokadia said, I will die but will not remove it
Veteran producer-director KC Bokadia, who has made films with veteran stars like Rajesh Khanna, amitabh bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, Rajnikanth, Rajkumar, Dharmendra, mithun Chakraborty, salman khan, shahrukh khan and Sunny Deol, has spent the last 50 years of his film career. They did not suffer such helplessness as they are now facing due to an order from the Central Board of Film Certification (Censor Board). Union Information and Broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur, who came to mumbai two days ago, praised the new serial 'Sardar the Game Changer' made by him and also suggested telecast it two days a week instead of one day. However, the film fraternity is also surprised by the notice sent by the regional officer of the Censor Board under this ministry to Bokadia regarding his new film.
Film producer-director KC Bokadia, who has been active in hindi cinema for the last five decades, applied for the censor certificate for his new film 'Teesri Begum' at the end of last year. After watching the film, the Examining Committee of the Censor Board refused to give it a censor certificate because the film shows normal and unexpected incidents prevalent in society as a tradition and it creates animosity against a particular community. spreads out. The Censor Board gave Bokadia 14 days to take the film to the Revision Committee and Bokadia then reapplied for the film's censor certificate.
Now the Censor Board has sent a letter to KC Bokadia on march 6 this month, citing the recommendation received from the Revision Committee to release the film 'Teesri Begum' with a certificate for adults only, asking him to make cuts at 14 places in the film. Or have been asked to make changes. Bokadia says, 'Among these cuts, I have the biggest objection to the point in which it has been said that 'Jai Shri Ram' should be removed from the film. ram is the center of our faith and this is being said in the film by a character who is taking refuge in the person who attacked him.
On Lord Ram's statement in Sunderkand of Ramcharit Manas when Vibhishana took refuge in him, 'What should I say in surrender? Giving the example of 'Te Nar Paanwar Paap sam Tinhahin Bilokat Hani', KC Bokadia says, 'If an attacker is intent on taking someone's life and to save his life, that person is reciting the name of Lord Shri Ram. Hardly anyone in india would want to stop him from saying 'Jai Shri Ram'. This related scene of the film 'Teesri Begum' is also similar in that a person who marries for the third time by hiding his identity, admits his mistake after the film and appeals to Lord Shri ram to save his life. I will die but will not remove the words 'Jai Shri Ram' from my film.
KC Bokadia has refused to accept this cut suggested by the Censor Board and has also conveyed his views to Censor Board Chairman Prasoon Joshi. Bokadia says, 'I have made 60 films in the last 40 years, but the Censor Board has never troubled me like this. I have recently made a weekly serial 'Sardar the Game Changer' on Sardar Vallabhbhai patel for Doordarshan, after watching which Union Information and Broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur suggested to do it twice a week, but the Censor Board did not approve of my Not allowing a timely film to be released. If my film is not allowed to be released with the words 'Jai Shri Ram' then I will go to the high court against it.' CEO Smita Vats Sharma spoke at the end of the month to talk about this and the functioning of the Censor Board. Time has been given.
