Censorship in Movies & Our Culture

According to me vulgar scene is vulgar depending upon the perception of the viewer and its relevence in the movie. If a movie plot is such that it has to show a love making scene then they will show it and the censor board will certify it as A grade.



The A grade itself tells people that it will have some sensual scenes, so why see it if one is not comfortable with such scenes. yes i agree to shanker and teja if the scene is totally irrelevent in the movie like a bar dance or something like that. its time to accept the changes that are occuring in the society and 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.

Hi guys,

I think movies shouldn't be censored because there are some people who enjoy watching such scenes. Some people who don't want to view sex, violence or use of a certain word should not watch at all.

Children should be banned from watching A rated movies, because it will make them feel disturbed and also they might get curious and search up words or porn sites or disturbing pictures on the internet as these days the younger generation is very good at handling electronic gadgets. 18 years and above should be allowed only as the younger people are not completely mature.

According to me, censorship should not be out on movies.

1) Firstly it spoils the meaning and lesson given by the movie.

2) Censoring of content hides the reality from people and make them see fiction stuff.

3) Relating to adult scene the movie broadcaster help to rate the movie adult or universal or both.

4) One of the most important things is that parents should talk to their children about sex education. They should not make them fall into the wrong direction by ignoring the topic. Such scene attracts children if they are not told they make go in the wrong directions.

In my opinion, censorship is necessary only if it is being followed wisely. Giving grading to a film does not mean you have surely succeeded in disconnecting those peoples who are not meant to digest that matter. In a country like India where we have a totally different culture and values, imposing censorship means helping our youth choose the correct path. Someone should be there to guide the youth if not lovingly then may be forcefully. After all its the question for the existence of an entire race called "THE UNIQUE INDIAN CULTURE" which is famous all over the world.

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.

Censorship depends from industry to industry and in case of movies, there is censor board of film certification to which all the rights are there to censor the movies and categorize them according to the age of the people of the country and cut short the content which is not to be disclosed on the screens.

India being the number one democratic and demographic country, has a large culture and based on that, censorship move should be established by different industries and nature of work so that it would not affect any part of the country and its culture.

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 !

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.

Censorship involves both the V's - Vulgar and Violence. Taking violence alone doesn't make sense. Lets not take both or take both. The world is moving much faster that we expect it to. In this fast moving world and Rapid increase in technology banning the V's doesn't seem to be a great idea. Lets face the truth and Parent the future in better ways. The need of the hour is not banning the V's. We need to educate the future wise enough for understanding the truth. Banning is not prevention. We are actually postponing the problem for latter. Educate!
