Ever since the video of IFFI just head Nadav Lapido criticising the inclusion of The Kashmir Files in the International Film Festival of India went viral on the internet, it has spared a controversy. Nadav calling it a “propaganda and vulgar movie” has upset a section of many. Amid this, a couple of cast and crew members of the film have also expressed their disappointment. After Anupam Kher and Darshan Kumaar, another actor, who also produced the Vivek Agnihotri directorial, Pallavi Joshi, broke her silence on the matter.

While sharing her official statement, in the caption, Pallavi made it crystal clear that it is for Nadav’s comment as she wrote, “Here is my official statement to Nadav Lapid. Jai Hind.” Her statement read, “For decades the international community remained silent on the sufferings of the Kashmiri Pandit Community. After 3 decades, the Indian film industry finally realised that it needs to tell India's story truthfully and objectively.”

She further added, “Vivek and I were always aware that there are elements that would not like to see the stark truth on the screen, but it is very unfortunate that a creative platform was used for a political agenda to preserve an old, false and jaded narrative about Kashmir.

We are overwhelmed by the way people of India rose to defend The Kashmir Files against the rude and vulgar statements of a genocide denier.”

Her note further read, “I would like to assure our audience and supporters that The Kashmir Files remains a people's film.”

Before signing off, she mentioned, “I also want to thank the Israeli Ambassador H.E Naor Gilon and the Consul General / Shri Kobbi Shoshani for their support. I Am Buddha stands for India and we will continue the path of truth and resilience to keep making meaningful cinema with original Indian content.”

For the unversed, during his speech at 53rd IFFI, Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid openly criticised the film and said, “All of us were disturbed and shocked by the movie The Kashmir Files. It felt to us like a propaganda, vulgar movie that's inappropriate for an artistic, competitive section of such a prestigious film festival.”

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
