KC Bokadia Won't Remove 'Jai Shri Ram' From Film Despite Censor Objection

In a surprising turn of events, veteran Bollywood filmmaker KC Bokadia has firmly stated he will not remove the sacred 'Jai Shri Ram' chant from his upcoming film 'Teesri Begum', despite objections raised by the Indian Censor Board. The board has asked Bokadia to make 14 cuts, including removing the 'Jai Shri Ram' slogan, citing it could promote hatred towards a community. However, Bokadia remains steadfast, highlighting that the slogan is uttered by a character seeking divine refuge when attacked, akin to Lord Ram's teachings in the Ramayan. He questioned how anyone in India could object to invoking Ram's name for protection. The 50-year industry veteran declared, "I will die, but won't remove it" from his film at any cost. Bokadia argues the scene depicts a reformed polygamist admitting his mistake and desperately crying 'Jai Shri Ram' to save his life, echoing similar episodes in Hindu scriptures. Removing this pivotal dialogue would compromise the philosophical core of his socially relevant story, he contends. The irony is palpable, as the same ministry recently lauded Bokadia's television series on Sardar Patel while its censor wing objected to a Hindu chant in 'Teesri Begum'. Undeterred, the filmmaker has reached out to Censor Board chief Prasoon Joshi and vowed to take legal recourse if denied. This controversy raises pertinent questions about the extent of creative freedoms and perceived intolerance towards depiction of Hindu beliefs in Indian cinema. As Bokadia remains unflinching, all eyes are on how this philosophical clash between cinematic expression and perceived moral policing will unfold.
