The Indian film industry finds itself embroiled in yet another debate over creative expression and societal norms with the controversy surrounding the upcoming film Hamare Baarah. Nobody is coming in support of the film facing legal troubles.
Specific Community leaders have filed a complaint and petition in the Bombay High Court following significant losses faced by the producers due to the film’s inability to release on June 7th. Despite rescheduling the release for June 14th, the High Court and Supreme Court in Delhi issued notices to the producers and halted the release yet again, further adding to the filmmakers’ distress. With their entire life savings invested in the movie, the producers are devastated and unsure how to recover. While others in the industry watch from a distance, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has courageously stepped forward to support them, as evidenced by his recent social media post.
Renowned director Vivek Agnihotri, known for his pioneering work in raw and courageous cinema with projects like “The Kashmir Files” and the upcoming “Delhi Files,” has lent his support to the new film and the debut filmmakers behind “Hamare Baarah.” Taking to Twitter, he asserted, “No creative work should ever be banned. Be it a film, book, joke, tweet, video, thought, or an idea. Banning an idea is banning evolution. Also, nobody in this world has any moral authority to ban anything.”

Banning an idea is banning the evolution.
