Censorship in Movies & Our Culture

I think censorship should be allowed but in a limited way. The censor board should not. Interfere in the thoughts & ideas of film maker by forcing him to sound the " galiyan " as beep. If in a movie, there is a stunt scene, it should be censored. But the national television if showing a serial every weekend of an hour of life threatening stunts, then there is no issue.

I think with the changing time, we should be ready enough to accept the changes. If censor board is giving a movie, a title of A. I Think movie is a complete package of emotions like love, stunts (action) , sad, joy, sacrifice, victory. The thoughts of film maker should not be crushed.

In the end I would like to say that cenorship should be there, when required. In a movie if there is unrequired pornographic material, it should be censored.

We know what we are. Nobody has right to offend when we watch some sort of cinemas that contains violence and some scenes because we know our limits and lines. We know up to which extent we should watch and we are also not dumb that we can't understand what is good and bad for us. So why this word "censorship" comes into our mind. If we talk about the children or students then if we won't allow them for movies then also they will use the internet for watching movies because they are smart enough that we should not have to tell them any thing.

I definitely agree with you Kiran. As he said the tech now days are far beyond our reach. We are not dumping so that if any violence or any other contents are shown will influence us. As we are living in the largest democratic country in the world with every citizen have the right to speak and express their views the censorship is putting their scissors over our rights hear. So as per my opinion let the people decide what to see or what not to.

I think the censor board is actually doing a great job by cutting the scenes which should not be shown to the public. We can't blame the censor board for not cutting certain scenes which you think is vulgar because the censor board tells the film maker to cut only those scenes which are not required for the current generation. We can never compare the type of films which were made earlier and now because of the changing trend and technology.

And considering that the censor board has cut some scenes, or given an A certificate to a particular film, what's the guarantee that the younger generation won't see those scenes? And if they see those and had certain impact on them then who has to be blamed?

Film are meant to be for entertainment. So its the job of both censor board as well as parents. Censor board will do their work as usual but parents should also take care that these films are not to be seen by the youngsters and care should be taken that their minds are not affected by whatever they have shown in the film.

Thank you.

I think censor board did a great job over the years. A nudity scene, political violence or sex scene has a large effect on people's mind but again I am saying that it depends on our mentality. A scene which creates violence or which creates harmful effects on the children's mind I think that should be banned.

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.

According to me vulgar scenes are very very common in Hollywood and Bollywood these days. And the censorship is just allowing for it. This will affect the small kids.

Why so vulgar scenes not blocked by sensor board?.

THIS MEANS THERE IS NO USE OF CENSORSHIP IF THEY ONLY ARE ALLOWING FOR THESE VULGAR SCENES.

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.

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 !

According to me censorship in movie is necessary, as the movie maker puts everything in the movie to make it interesting, like vulgar scene, abusing language etc. These types of things are highly responsible in degrading the culture of our society. So the censor board should always take a step in removing these types of things from the movie.
