Censorship in Movies & Our Culture

Good morning friends,

We are all know about our Indian culture. In olden days everyone should followed our culture very perfectly. But now a days our culture go to changing. This is occur in some movies. The censor board refuse vulgar words and censes which are not suitable our culture. So censor board is try to rescue our Indian culture.

Good morning everyone.

Most of your comment support the censorship of media content.

I agree that Censorship would enhance social harmony by filter out contents that go beyond moral standards.

However, I would like to talk about the adverse effect of the censorship.

Firstly, Censorship deteriorate the media freedom. The creativity of Story writer, Scene designers and Director may would be limited when they want to express artistic feeling through topic of sex and violence. In fact, many classical literature unavoidably include the content of sex and violence. And the aims is to accelerate rethinking of human being and philosophy of human emotion.

Secondly, Censorship of media could easily be used for political purpose. The authority may use the censorship to suppress unfavour information such as criticism of policy.

In present movies, we see more vulgar, nudity and violence. Movies have more such statement that could not see with family, our culture does not allow to do these. These scenes must be censored. Director tells that we put these scenes because people want these. But they cross the limit that should be cut by the censor board. By which a movie can be seen with family and accepted by our society.

Censor board for internet is must. Nowadays both parents are working, so they may not have time to watch their children. "whether what she/he is doing". So their future may be affected if there is no censor board. In these days, there are many children are being affected or addicted due to this.

So, I think it is necessary to have a censor board for internet for a bright future.

I appreciates that censor board is doing there work efficiently regarding grading of A, u/A movies. But my concern lies to what extent it is helping the culture. Let me give you example if tell you that I have a gift for you in that box which you will get after a year, what will be your reaction ? you will be definitely eager to know the secret gift in the box and try to do all the things which prohibits you from getting that gift. The same happens to juvenile. They are more prone to watch that movies that prohibits them from other sources like internet.

Hello friends.

I agree with the point that censor plays a vital role in cinema. But if the movie has been rated A then it becomes our responsibility that below 18 must not watch it. Why to blame the censor board. And regarding the sentiments of the people, the filmmaker can not respect everyone's sentiments, as the population of this country is very large in numbers. It is we that how we take the movie.

Censor Boards do play an important role in media and vis a vis society, however, there must be a uniformity in the exercise. This uniformity may transcend beyond the Boards capacity. Hundreds of millions of people of India go to temples, being exposed to sex, nudity, Violent pictures and what not, through the carvings, drawings etc, This is acceptable, but the fighting scenes in X-men days of future past were deemed unsuitable? This is just an example. The scene was practically mangled beyond recognition. The Board would be better of Banning some of these movies outright.

How about, public defecation and urination. You mean extended kissing scenes are more vulgar to viewers than that? The whole process of censorship is laughable, until the social behaviors in public arena are cleaned up.

Now a days, the movies are showing totally wrong face of the society by showing sex and kissing scene. These are the privacy of our society that should be respected. Directors have made a habit of adding some offended (so called hot scene) to earn a lot.

But how these get passed through censor board? It's corruption. Yes corruption! These days We hardly find a movie that we can see with our family. So The censorship should remove the scenes completely not partly. Then I will believe that the board worth existing.

Censorship in movies in India is like a juggler, means they will decide what the movie will depict n what people will see regardless of what the movie tries to portray. Its' too much in India as our country is known as a so-called religious country so people stick to that mindset that this adult or violent type or content should not be on the big screens. But why? everyone infact in this generation know about the adult contents, they have the knowledge about it.

Good evening friends.

I have read everyone's point. Now I want to put my views in front of you all.

According to me cinemas are that mirror which shines and shows the image of the society. Cinemas and television affect all the age group of people whether it is children, youth or the old people. Children and youth learn a lot from the television and cinemas.

My point is if the television and the cinemas affect a lot to children and the youth than we every parent would want good contents to be shown on television and in cinemas as they are the mode of entertainment. So there should be something or some systems which can prevent ill contents to be broadcasted in cinemas.

So I strongly believe that there should be censor board to filter all the ill contents to save the innocence of the child and to stop our youth from being provocated.

Now if I'll contents are shown or allowed to be shown without any restriction it will affect our culture adversely.

So I want to conclude that there should be a censor board to filter the ill contents and to save the innocence of children and youth who are the future of the country.

Thank you.
