Summary
- Filmmaker Chettan DK faces certification issues for 'The India Story'.
- 'Satluj' by Diljit Dosanjh was removed from ZEE5, sparking debate.
- 'The India Story' examines pesticide use and systemic health failures.
The removal of Diljit Dosanjh's 'Satluj' from ZEE5 has intensified discussions on censorship within Indian cinema. Filmmaker Chettan DK is expressing significant concern, as his upcoming film, 'The India Story: Slow Poison in Progress,' is currently awaiting clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Chettan DK highlighted the difficulties faced by filmmakers addressing sensitive social topics. He stated that the disappearance of 'Satluj' and the ongoing delay in certification for 'The India Story' are disheartening. The film aims to bring attention to important issues through cinema, not to create controversy.
'The India Story' delves into the broader effects of excessive chemical use in agriculture, particularly pesticides, and their impact on public health. It also touches upon alleged systemic failures and the necessity for enhanced regulatory oversight. The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 24, pending its certification.
The film's production team includes Sumit Bagade, Anita Jadhav, Vinayak Saidani, Kalpesh Shah, and Devyani Khorate. Nishant Bhagwat served as cinematographer, Mangesh Dhakde composed the music, and Ashish Mhatre edited the film. It is set to release in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.
