Strictness of CBFC
The Central Film Certification Board is once again in controversy. The controversy of Suresh Gopi's Malayalam film Janaki vs State of Kerala has been banned by the board before the entire North India and especially the Bihar assembly elections. The board objected to the word Janaki. The board argues that the word Janaki in the title can hurt Hindu faith. Janki is a name of Goddess Sitaji in Hinduism.
On the other hand, after this decision of the board, director Praveen Narayanan has turned to the Kerala High Court. The director has said that the review committee of CBFC wants not only the title of the film but also the name of the main character. At the same time, the Kerala Film Employees Federation has also criticized CBFC's stand. The Sangh said that such decisions can create many crises in the film industry.
Asked to change the name of the main heroine
Let us tell you that the name of the main heroine in this film is Janaki. Members of the board's review committee have asked to change the name of the main heroine to something else in this film. While the director says that changing the name of the main character will affect the story of the film and will have to go through the story and dubbing process in a way of the entire film and the dialogue.
Obviously, this matter does not seem to stop at the moment. According to the information, Janaki's character in the film's story goes through painful events, she pleads for justice. It is a court room drama film. According to the arguments of the members of the board's review committee, it would not be appropriate to show any kind of social crime with Janaki character in the film. This step can be hurting emotions.
Is there any possibility of dispute in Bihar elections?
If you see, many things can be hidden behind the board's plea. The first is that Janaki is the name of a goddess in Hinduism. She is the wife of Lord Shri Ram. Sitaji's birth place is in Bihar. It is difficult to say whether Bihar is the assembly elections behind this argument of the board. But if this matter bounces, then the heat of this dispute can reach Bihar elections. So CBFC currently banned the release of this film.
Union Minister Suresh Gopi plays a lawyer
However, the name of BJP leader and Union Minister Suresh Gopi is also associated with this film, who has played the role of a lawyer in this film. Anupama Parameswaran has played Sita in the film. Let us tell you that it was going to be released on June 27. But the performance of the film has stopped due to the strict stance of the board. The producer of this film is Cosmos Entertainment, on which the Kerala High Court has been knocked on behalf. The court has sought a copy of the decision of the CBFC Review Committee.
