The Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti called for the dissolution of the censor board and the creation of a “Sanatan Hindu Censor Board” amid the controversy surrounding the Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, and Kriti Sanon-starring movie Adipurush, stating that Bollywood mocks the Santan Dharma.
Karshni Nagendra Maharaj, in-charge of Kashi Vidvat Parishad, said, “This is a good decision by Akhil Bhartiya Sant Samiti to demand the constitution of a Hindu Sanatan Sanskriti Censor Board. I urge Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to implement such a policy. Bollywood insults Hindu gods and goddesses and Sanatan Dharma. In the Adipurush movie, Lord Hanuman and Ravana have been portrayed as Muslims. What kind of portrayal of Sanatan Dharma is this?”
According to Nagendra Maharaj, there is a vast Muslim conspiracy to malign Hindu Sanatan Dharma by employing Bollywood.
“These people always regress to Sanatan Dharma. They should be banned. The Central government should take a decision in this regard otherwise the Sant samaj and all Dharmacharyas will call for a big movement. The Muslim countries provide the funding with the motive to ruin the Hindu culture. Several Hindu nations of ancient times became Muslim countries. This is a big conspiracy to destroy the Hindu Rastra Sanatan culture. And Bollywood is part of this conspiracy and doing these kinds of works,” he said.
Nagendra Maharaj added that the censor board that approves such films ought to be outlawed. He asked that the Sanatan Sanskriti Censor Board be established right away.
Another saint of Kashi Vidvat, Dharmacharya Gopesh Baba, said, “This is a great initiative. This should be done. Bollywood since its inception has always been insulting Sanatan Dharma and Hindu gods and goddesses. They try to portray Sanatan in a bad way. And, this also impacts society. These kinds of movies should be boycotted.”
At a meeting held at the GNDC Convention Hall in Delhi, Nautam Prakash Swami, head of the organization’s branch in Gujarat, recommended the formation of the Santan Hindu Censor Board at a meeting held at the GNDC Convention Hall in Delhi.
He said, “India was a Hindu nation and it will always remain so. Indian culture is based on Hindu culture. Muslims attacked the nation 700 years ago, but Hinduism was not affected. It is the land of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh. portraying them in the wrong manner, as has been done in Adipurush. The Film Censor Board defames the saints and Sanatan Dharma. So there should be a Sanatan Hindi censor board for the entire country. It is a country of Hindus and should be run by Hinduism.”
Nautam Prakash Swami also pushed for the dissolution of the Waqf board.
“The land controlled by the Waqf Board should now be acquired by the Government of India and the state governments,” he added.
A Delhi Court has received a petition that asks for a stay of Adipurush’s discharge.
According to the complaint, Lord Rama and Hanuman were inaccurately and unjustifiably depicted as wearing leather straps in the movie. Additionally, it stated that Ravana was depicted incorrectly.
The film’s producer and director, Bhushan Kumar and Om Raut, are the targets of the argument put out by attorney Raj Gaurav. The appeal hearing before Senior Civil Judge Abhishek Kumar of Tees Hazari Court has been scheduled for Monday.
It has been claimed that the portrayal of Lord Rama, Hanuman, and Ravana in the movie’s trailer offended the applicant’s and many other people’s religious sensibilities.
In contrast to the defendant’s attempt to represent Ravana as belonging to Middle East Asia by equating him with one of his Mughal predecessors, that is, one who invaded India, in the movie’s trailer, it is also claimed that Ravana is from Sri Lanka and that his characteristics are recognisably Sri Lankan. The accused has made an effort to pass off Ravana, a Brahmin, as a Muslim.
A permanent injunction against the movie’s trailer and promotion has been requested by the petitioner. Additionally, he asked for guidance on how to delete the teaser from all social media sites, including Facebook and YouTube.
In order to bring the Ramayana story to the big screen, director Om Raut created this movie. However, ever since the first teaser for Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, and Kriti Sanon’s movie “Adipurush” debuted, there has been a unified negative reaction from various quarters.
People have been largely let down by the film’s subpar VFX and several characters, including Saif’s Raavan, who have ridiculous looks. Many online users have compared Saif’s appearance in the movie to that of Alauddin Khilji rather than Raavana after noticing his short spiked hair, lengthy beard, and kajal eyes.
The Adipurush album was created by Retrophiles and T Series. On January 12, 2023, it is planned for release in IMAX and 3D. The Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada versions of the film, which was produced by Bhushan Kumar, Om, Prasad Sutar, and Rajesh Nair, will be screened.
