To be safe, Amazon cut the skit scene from “Tandav” a few days after the show began streaming. But the storm raged on. A senior B.J.P. leader wrote to Amazon, accusing its “ideologically motivated employees” of running “vicious programming.” Amazon petitioned India’s Supreme Court to protect the show’s director and producers from arrest while the cases were being heard; the Court refused to grant this reprieve.
Governments have tried to control Indian cinema in the past—mostly through the Central Board of Film Certification , a state authority that can order alterations or essentially ban movies by refusing to certify them. But the B.J.P.’s disdain for Bollywood registers as something deeper—as an echo, in fact, of its animus toward the Congress and other rival parties.
Ignoring the mob felt increasingly unwise. In 2016, Sanjay Leela Bhansali—a reserved, bearded director known for maximalist costume dramas—started making “Padmaavat.” Bhansali was dramatizing a legend: the story of Padmavati, a Hindu queen from the Rajput caste, who is so renowned for her beauty that Alauddin Khilji, the Sultan of Delhi, attacks her husband’s kingdom to abduct her.
“The Kashmir Files” has proved particularly vexing. Released earlier this year, the movie purports to be based on true events: the brutal eviction, beginning in 1989, of tens of thousands of Hindus from the Muslim-majority valley of Kashmir. At least two hundred Hindus were killed, according to government data, but the movie inflates the number to four thousand.

samanth_s You realise you're being taken for a ride by such pieces? This is the road to irrelevance in a large English-speaking/reading market.

samanth_s That fellow is also called a Blackmailer by many whoever refuses to fund him he writes bigotic news twisting to sell political bigotry that west wants to licks it up. People Pay movies that they want to watch not what some Narcissist wants.
samanth_s If I m at my house and if I claim I am suffocated and claustrophobic, what do u expect my family to tell me?
samanth_s snigskitchen
samanth_s Don’t drape the Indian flag on people like that. It makes them look like a huge lamprey.
samanth_s This is happening everywhere. Media lets the right scream about a left/democratic(in America) 'CABAL' but ignores the obvious, very well funded and popular extreme 'right' GLOBAL CABAL. There are too many events too close to be a coincidence. Somethings up
samanth_s Can you concentrate on US CPI ?
Cope. Some how south indian movies work. Hope bollywood and mafia cronies goes bankrupt.
You were quiet when bollyfascists denounced Hindu deities. But now, suddenly, you feel you have a spine to speak up for these nutjobs.
