Aarakshan: The objectionable scenes
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,August 12 2011]
B-town current controversial no.1 'Aarakshan' got released today in Mumbai amidst tight security. The demand of ban of the film in the city is still on and fearing trouble the police authorities had provided special securities to its actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan and the maker Prakash Jha.
It's sad that the movie has been banned in U.P. Punjab and Andhra Pradesh. We at IG spoke to one of the members of the political party who are demanding a ban on the film and on condition of anonymity; the close hand listed the following scenes which they found objectionable.
1. There's an objection to Saif Ali Khan a nawab by birth playing the role of a Dalit
2. The confrontation scene between Manoj Bajpai and Saif Ali Khan in the college.
3. The word 'Khairat' (charity) use for reservation
4. A pro reservation leader in the Saif Ali Khan's area shown as an opportunist
5. Prateik and Saif confrontation scenes.
IG sources from the industry reveal that there's nothing controversial as such and the hue and cry is done by the politicians to gain political mileage.
We hope the problems get sorted out and the movie sees light in U.P. Punjab and Andhra Pradesh also.
