Misrepresentation of Shriram, Sitamata and Hanuman ji in the movie
New Delhi – A PIL has been filed in the Delhi High Court by the ‘Hindu Sena’ against ‘Adipurush’ movie. The movie which is based on Ramayan released on 16th June. Hindu Sena’s president and petitioner Vishnu Gupta said that the film has mocked Ramayan, Shriram and Hindu culture. The objectionable scenes in reference to Shriram, Sitamata, Hanuman ji and Ravan should be removed from the film. These scenes misrepresent the characters from Ramayan.
Strong criticism by the audience
Immediately after the release of ‘Adipurush’ on 16th June, the viewers criticised it heavily. They opposed this film saying that the scenes, dialogues and costumes do not match the original Ramayan. A campaign against the film has been launched on social media. Some have even demanded action against the filmmakers.
| Editorial Viewpoint
It is shameful that the Censor Board issues certification to films which misrepresent Hindu Deities. This proves the Censor Board is useless. It is high time individuals having knowledge of Hindu Dharma are appointed to the Censor Board. Hindus should demand this to the Union Government. It is shameful for Hindus that due to their dormant nature, anyone and everyone can mock their religious beliefs. |
