In the News: Indian Film Censoring Domestic Violence
Deepa Mehta’s new film, Heaven on Earth, was threatened with censorship if it did not cut scenes of domestic violence and expletive language. Mehta refused and the film has not been reduced in strength, honesty or content.
It is interesting to think that in an age of beat-em-up-blow-em-up-shoot-em-up scenes of violence, it is domestic violence that is being censored. It is domestic violence that is making the censor board squirm in their seats.
