എന്തുകൊണ്ടാണ് Sanalkumar Sasidharan "Sexy Durga" എന്ന പേര് മാറ്റാന്‍ സമ്മതിച്ചത്?.
കഴിഞ്ഞ വര്‍ഷം സിനിമയുടെ ആസുത്രണം തുടങ്ങുന്നതിനു മുന്‍പേ FB യില്‍ അദ്ദേഹം നടത്തിയ ഒരു disclaimer ല്‍ ഈ സിനിമ ഉദ്ദേശിക്കുന്നത് എന്തെന്ന് പറഞ്ഞ്ഞു വച്ചപ്പോള്‍ അന്നുതന്നെ സനലിന്റെ marketing strategy മനസ്സിലായിരുന്നു. അത് പ്രശ്നമല്ല. ഒരു കലാകാരന് തന്റെ സൃഷ്ടിയെ പ്രശസ്തമാക്കാന്‍ സ്വികരിക്കുന്ന രിതികള്‍ ഇന്ന് പുതുമയല്ലല്ലോ?
ഒരു കലാകാരന് അയാളുടെ സൃഷ്ടിക്ക് വേണ്ടി ചെയ്യുന്ന എന്ത് shrewd marketing ഉം ന്യായീകരിക്കപ്പെ|ടുന്നത് അയാളുടെ സൃഷ്ടിയോടുള്ള അയാളുടെ commitment കൊണ്ടാണ്. CBFC തന്റെ സിനിമയുടെ പേര് മാറ്റണമെന്ന് പറഞ്ഞപ്പോള്‍ അതിനു സമ്മതിക്കുക വഴി സനല്‍ 2016 August ല്‍ നടത്തിയ disclaimer നിന്ന് പുറകോട്ടു പോയത് വേദനജനകമാണു.
quote sanal from Aug 4
(sic)"Sexy Durga" is not about 'Goddess Durga'. "Durga" is a name and a "name" is only a "name" and it can be used as a "name". The beauty is that a goddess, a human being and a movie can equally enjoy using the same "name". If somebody is irritated about the word "Sexy" being used before the name "Durga" due to their belief, I fear that they are ignorant about their own belief. They should start learning what they are so ardently believing or unlearning what they are mistakenly believing. Their goddess is so progressive and she even enjoy being addressed as "Kamaroopini"!"(sic)
Dear Sanal, Why did you bend backwards at CBFC? Why did you accept the changes if you are so sure about the cause of your movie? When did you start fearing ignorant people?
I am neither a BJP fan. I wanted to point out it is not the BJP goverments that banned/ refused certifications for lot of other films in India. Even though in your case this could be argued as the director is/was a campaigner for Mr.Modi.
1987 (Congress goverment)'Pati Parmeshwar' was denied a rating by the Censor for depicting a woman in "ignoble servility" of her husband. (Can you imagine?)
In 2004 during Congress rule - 'Hava Aney Dey by Partho Sen Gupta' was refused certification as he REFUSED to make suggested changes by CFBC.This film went on to win Best Film Award (Durban International Film Festival) BBC Audience Award (Commonwealth Film Festival) Special Jury Mention (Hong Kong International Film Festival)
In 2015 The painted house was not given a certification as the directors REFUSED to delete the two nude scenes from the movie.
Yes I am comparing, as there is a history at CBFC and how they act. Most of the time it is not appealing and 100's of film makers did the same what you did.
You kneeled to get your baby a knighthood.
Do you see where I am going with this? You abandoned your work the moment you went back from your early disclaimer. “If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.” ― Sylvia Plath.
