The film industry was left stunned when Diljit Dosanjh’s highly anticipated ‘Satluj’ was removed from OTT just two days after its release. The sudden ban has sparked a heated debate, with many pointing fingers at the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for its draconian approach. Anurag Kashyap, a vocal critic of the CBFC, has now come forward to reveal that former CBFC Chief Prasoon Joshi objected to the film without even watching it.

CBFC’s Double Standards Exposed

Anurag Kashyap, known for his fearless filmmaking style, has been a long-time critic of the CBFC. He has now taken to social media to express his outrage over the CBFC’s decision to ban ‘Satluj’. In a scathing post, Kashyap revealed that Prasoon Joshi had objected to the film without even watching it. The CBFC had earlier suggested 127 cuts to the film, which the makers had reluctantly agreed to, opting for an OTT release instead. However, even that didn’t seem to satisfy the CBFC, which eventually decided to ban the film altogether.

Kashyap’s revelation has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many accusing the CBFC of double standards. While ‘Satluj’ was banned without even being watched, many other films with more explicit content have been cleared with ease. The CBFC’s selective approach to censorship has left many in the industry wondering if there’s a hidden agenda at play.

The Impact on the Industry

The ban on ‘Satluj’ has sent shockwaves through the industry, with many filmmakers and actors expressing their disappointment and outrage. The film’s lead actor, Diljit Dosanjh, has been vocal about his support for the film, and has accused the CBFC of being biased. The ban has also sparked a debate on the role of censorship in the film industry, with many arguing that it’s time for a more liberal approach.

While the CBFC has maintained that the ban was necessary to protect the audience, many have questioned the reasoning behind it. The film’s director has also expressed his disappointment, stating that the ban was a blow to his creative freedom. The impact of the ban is likely to be felt far beyond the film industry, with many calling for a more open and transparent approach to censorship.

What’s Next for the Film Industry?

The ban on ‘Satluj’ has left many in the industry wondering what’s next for the film industry. Will the CBFC continue to exert its control over the industry, or will there be a shift towards a more liberal approach to censorship? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the film industry will never be the same again.

As the debate rages on, one thing is clear – the film industry needs a more open and transparent approach to censorship. The ban on ‘Satluj’ has sparked a much-needed conversation, and it’s time for the CBFC to rethink its approach to protecting the audience. The future of the film industry hangs in the balance, and it’s up to the CBFC to decide whether it will be a step forward or a step back.
