Censorship in Movies & Our Culture

Currently censor board is doing a very good job. But it still needs some amelioration. Filtering out the vulgar scenes is not enough.

According to my point of view, the item-songs are equally responsible for deteriorating our Indian culture. These cheap songs decrease the value and dignity of women.

This also has adverse effect on young school girls performing this cheap songs on stage. Seeing our top bollywood actresses performing these songs, they also want to follow them.

So from my point of view, along with the vulgar sex scenes, the item-songs must be banned from movies.

Yes, I think censorship is a must nowadays. Today we have so many movies displaying nudity, hurling abuses, showcasing violence and sexual violence also. Censorship is vital to protect and safeguarding the young children who are watching these movie at homes if not in theaters. They are young and under impressionable age.

They may develop and carry wrong notions or maybe they may get scared and panic because of the impact that violent scenes may cast on them. It may affect their thinking and ultimately destroy or affect their mentality because their mind is a like a blank slate.

Whatever they see becomes a part of their lives. They learn from TV's and movies. Kids are our future plus scenes of nudity or sex scenes are no pleasure to watch with family. It actually turns embarrassing. So censorship is a must.

Read all through the views of my friends. One thing I want to specify to some of my friends, that for every single topic of issue we can't end up at saying that "ALL DEPENDS ON THE MENTALITY OF THE PUBLIC". And all about the topic I would like to say that indeed censorship in movies is a mandate.

We do have examples of movie which has gain much popularity without any inclusion of vulgarity. So why not continue to build movies of those sort. The thirst of huge revenue and popularity and preservation of Indian culture would go hand in hand.

THANK YOU !

Yes censor board is responsible for filtering out contents from our movies. So as to maintain the morals and values in the society. Young generation get influenced by the movies and try to ape them. This affects the young minds. Moreover it becomes embarrassing.

I believe that movies should have some moral values in it. We should be able to watch movies with our family because we all go together to theaters to watch and if its not worth we feel like leaving our seats its very embarrassing specially with our parents. These vulgar scenes is going to destroy our youth.

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.

I think that it should be abolish I'm saying this words just because I think that when "A" grade films are also being showing off in the private channels in India, so what is the need of it ? I think censor board has been formed just because of saving our culture from the side effect of the films.

Hello friends,

All of my friends have given very valuable points, according to me even if we establish a censor board in India for monitoring the Indian movies the adverse effect of a class movies will be there. The most common way of watching movies is by downloading it through the internet and enjoying it in your home. If the government is concerned about the Indian culture I would suggest to completely ban those movies which are threat to the Indian culture. It should neither be in cinema halls nor in internet websites. This is all I have to say.

Hello friends, according to my point of view there is a need of censorship board on movies because now a days there are many scenes in the movies which are not good or we can say that that are affected badly on our youth or children. No doubt the Indian film industry gives us large number of good films. It give us motivational movies, comedy movies, family movies, action movies etc. But now we see that there are many movies which include some bad scenes which badly affected the childrens. Also there are some movies which anger the peoples against something as a result of which wrong consequences come out.

So I would like to say that the Indian movies is good mostly in all aspect such that it provide us good knowledge as well as motivate us but also there is a need of censorship board to stop releasing of movies which include bad scenes in the movies and which affect our youth and children.

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.
