The UdtaPunjab row has reached its peak. The Bombay High Court will pronounce its verdict on Monday, as censorship continues to draw in its fair share of supporters and detractors.
Considering the volatile discussions the issue is inspiring, The Quint decided to engage its audience through an FB Live with documentary film-maker Pankaj Butalia, who’s faced his share of controversy with the Censor Board of Film Certification.
The interview garnered a lot of responses, most of them sticking up for the uncensored version of the movie.
While some could not help but point out the politicized state of affairs, others chose to single-mindedly choose the freedom of expression over other issues.
Our readers seemed to unanimously agree on one thing–films should remain true to the facts and the audience should be deemed worthy of its own discretion.
We are quite inspired by all your responses and feedback and we hope you guys keep sending in your questions and comments. Watch the interview here!
