a few films are screened are we practising this socalled culture in real life no we do not even see women and men as humans but as two different genders we are actually being insecure and confused about our own beliefs that is why we make all this hue and cry over a single movie think about the comments and posts that are appearing on our social networking sites do we censor it so i strongly demand that censor board should be completely abolished as they are incapable to understand movies aesthetics they also do not respect the poetic license of the creatorwill they dare to censor the internet content vinayan directori am appalled to see the news visuals on televisions even brutal rape and murder clippings are shown and porn movies are available via internet with just a click these are viewed in the houses of kerala without any restrictions will they dare to censor the internet content that even a threeyearold child can access while the audience has the choice to decide when where and which movie to watch why do we need a censor board we cannot blame the officials of the board they are just following the rules so i think since it affects people from kashmir to kanyakumari we all should have a healthy discussion and find a solution transcending political and emotional influences why blue pencil when you can certify let the audience choosemidhun manuel thomas directorin my movie aadu i had to use india maharajyam in a dialogue and the censor board asked me to remove it and i had to make it yethoru rajyam have our democratic state reached a point where we do not even have the freedom to talk about our own country what happened to the freedom of speech and expression which we used to boast of cbfc should restrict themselves to giving age specific certifications from u to r rather than imposing a blue pencil treatment let the audience choose what to watch and what not to rules should change with timesreebala k menon directorit is an irony that we still follow the rules in cbfc which came into effect in 1920 we forget that visual medium has evolved a lot earlier film was the only medium for people to get influenced but now we have television and internet so the impact of films has been reduced and our thought process outlook and perspective have changed but unfortunately films are censored based on the outdated rules isnt it time to have a new system at least i would urge them to implement the shyam benegal committee reportmany a time filmmakers have to deal with people in the censor committee who might not have any idea about the subject of the film instead of thinking whether the cuts will affect the films aesthetics they tend to think about the repercussions if they do not demand to remove a particular scene from the film they never even show the courtesy
