Ram Gopal Varma is known for his frank and bold talk and sometimes he lands in controversies with his acts.According to the latest, Ram Gopal Varma came up with a shocker about Censor Board. He came up with the following post.CENSOR should be BANNEDCensoring Films Actually &nbsp;is an INSULT to the AUDIENCES In an era of smartphones, global streaming, and access to infinite information, to pretend that a government appointed committee (What is the qualification of its members ?) can shield adults from the film makers perspective of any truth is not only outdated, but it’s also idiotic Here’s the fundamental hypocrisy… If an adult is mature enough to vote for the leader of the country , raise families, run businesses, why the hell can’t they decide for themselves what to watch? On one hand , the government trusts the adults with the ballot, which shapes the future of more than a billion people and at the same time thinks &nbsp;a scene in a film might spoil them That’s not safeguarding society but infantilizing it… An 18 year old can choose the leader , &nbsp;but needs some random committee member to decide if hearing a cuss word or watching a shot is corruptive A movie is dramatic storytelling from the perspective of a film maker and it’s the viewers prerogative to agree or disagree Cutting a scene for theatrical release is laughable because the uncut version will hits torrents, Telegram, and all international platforms within hours. Case in point is the head banging scene in OBSESSION which after the censors cut it , must have been seen by 10 times more people on Insta reels than who actually watched the film in the theatres Censorship doesn’t hide content .. it actually creates more demand &nbsp;an in the times of AI tools and borderless internet, gatekeeping is a joke &nbsp;Forcing trims on language, sensuality, violence, or ideology turns cinema into a dishonest and hypocritical slop. When everyone including children can binge watch brutal news and unlimited online extremes, how come only cinematic moments trigger bans.Censorship isn’t about protecting values because cinema’s s job is also to reflect one’s perception of an issue , which is what creates debate , the foundation of democracy Censor ship primarily assumes that adults are children who need to be parented by some government appointed committees (God knows what their qualification are to decide what millions should watch or not ?)It’s not cuts what we need, &nbsp;but it’s to be clear what the film contains , and then have respect for the &nbsp;audience to decide for themselves to watch or notI think all producers and directors should stop crawling on their knees before a non thinking, uncreative agenda oriented bureaucracy that understands neither art nor audiences while they give arbitrary cuts Every time the industry accepts cuts, negotiates “compromise,” or do self censoring to avoid trouble, they embolden those so called gatekeepers and weaken the entire ecosystem by making the entire industry a soft target.I think it’s time for the industry to come together to challenge the very existence of the censor board in its present form both in courts and public discourses. Democracy demands free expression and In a connected world, isolating and mutilating cinema is not just being blind and deaf … it is actually suicidal for our growth. #BanTheCensor ---- Pramod Nandivada
