Is it right to Ban a movie http://seavent.blogspot.in/2014/08/ban-ne-dage.html BANNED MOVIE KAUM DE HEERE.......IS IT RIGHT TO BAN IT? Shame on the Leaders for being coward I agree that we cant glorify, But at least we, the citizens do have a right to know the truth.

Home Ministry has expressed reservation and serious concern over the contents of a Punjabi film on former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination and asked the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to take a relook at the clearance given to it. In a communication to I&B ministry, Home Ministry has said that Punjabi-language film 'Kaum De Heere', which is scheduled to be released tomorrow, may affect the communal harmony in Punjab and other northern states. Home Ministry told I&B ministry that some of the content in the film was "highly objectionable" and may create enmity between communities and lead to communal tension. Sources said that the film, which is reportedly based on the lives of the assassins of the late prime minister -- Beant Singh, Satwant Singh and Kehar Singh -- glorifies their act. There have been reports that Censor Board CEO Rakesh Kumar, who was arrested recently by CBI on corruption charges, gave clearance to the film after allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 1 lakh. The Punjab units of Congress and BJP have demanded a ban on the controversial film. The film's producer, Pardeep Bansal, has said that the film is based on true incidents, as per the findings of the Justice Thakkar Commission which had probed the assassination of Gandhi. "It is a completely balanced film wherein no religion or sect has been belittled. Some people are unnecessarily trying to create a controversy without watching the movie," he has said. The Censor Board passed the film with an 'A' certificate and it is scheduled to be released tomorrow in more than 100 cinema halls in north India. Gandhi was shot dead by her two Sikh bodyguards at her official residence in New Delhi on October 31, 1984. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-film-on-indira-gandhi-kaum-de-heere-to-not-release-on-friday-informs-information-and-broadcasting-ministry-2012622 Sikhaan nu joker dikhaao, all clear!

WJKK WJKF Just watched the movie today and it was amazing. So much history was added that a lot of people were unaware about. Only thing I didn't like was the fact the theatre barely had any people (Brampton Silvercity). So please take the time out to support the people who put in so much effort instead of just downloading it. WJKK WJKF

The movie was scheduled to be released on February 28, 2014 but the CBFC has denied to grant it requisite certification. This movie is based on lives of Sikh martyrs Bhai Beant Singh, Satwant Singh and Kehar Singh. Bhai Beant Singh and Satwant Singh were bodyguards of Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi and they had assassinated her on 31 October 1984 after she ordered attack on Darbar Sahib (Harmandar Sahib) Amritsar in June 1984, in which thousands of Sikhs were massacred by Indian army. The reasons behind banning the movie were not known at the time of writing this news, but Sikh Siyasat News (SSN) sources confirmed that the CBFC had refused to grant clearance certificate to the movie which was required to screen the movie in India. It may be recalled that Indian firm censor board had also banned Punjabi movie “Sadda Haq” in 2011, which was based on post-1984 events in Punjab. The movie was cleared in early 2012 during a review by appellate tribunal, but it was again banned by various state governments taking a plea that the screening of the movie might cause law and order problems. But “Sadda Haq” was ultimately cleared by Indian supreme court after directing minor changes. Raj Kakra could not be contacted for his comments regarding ban imposed on the “Kaum De Heere”.
