The purpose behind watching a film is to get entertained. Though few films educate, provide messages, but the final intention of any director behind making a film is to provide some quality entertainment.
But sometimes, few films are targeted, saying that there is some controversial content in it. Be it religious way, or might effect the beliefs of their tradition or might be a social issue. The question is, are the directors really making all these so called controversies intentionally ?
If so ever they make it intentionally, it is a loss to them as the film is anyway getting stopped by the people who opposed the content in it. However directors like Ram Gopal Varma are exceptional with this logic as it is known that he himself said that he would create those controversies to hype his film.
Director Puri Jagannath too was cornered for his film “Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu”. The film was alleged saying that it contained some controversial content related to the bifurcation of the states. As that was the burning issue that time, the film was stopped for few days and had to reedit all those scenes and release it finally. After reediting, the fruits of the film could not be enjoyed as the major pulse was lost which is actually reedited.
These type of controversies are much more familiar with Kamal Haasan as almost all of his recent films are involved in it. According to the buzz there was some disturbance between Kamal and Tamilnadu CM. So, this might be the reason for the continuous opposes on all his films in that state, sources say. Utthama Villain is another recent film of Kamal which is stopped claiming several other reasons like controversial religious content, financiers issue and so.
So whatever the reason, may be because of the personal grudges or of the controversial content, films are cornered and the producers of those movies were finally effected with huge losses.
So the problem should be properly sorted by making proper analysis by producers and directors like what content is generally objected and it would be better if they would avoid raising such similar points in any way. On the other side, people should note that films are just for providing entertainment and all the characters involved in it are just fictitious and then react accordingly for the controversies in the films.
