And he has a valid point. We allow artists to paint their impressions and we all happily accept and appreciate their paintings, heck even worship the paintings. So hindufied. Yet we have an issue with this film. we cant be for and against the same thing. They are both depictions of our guru. And theyre both wrong.

The gurus supported artwork and painting when

As i was saying on another thread as well:

Personally, I am not totally against depiction of SatGuru Nanak Dev Ji. However, in my opnion person who is director should have deep profound understanding and realization of metaphyics/gnosis of Satguru nanak not only just in manifested form but profound ultimate unmanifested form of Satguru Nanak-shabad resonance-dhun, shabad gyan/anubhav parkash/knowledge. Unfathomable ocean of divine knowledge.
Otherwise movie depiction will fail to do full justice towards essence of Satguru in its totality.
In my opinion, current overall standards to depict Satguru nanak dev ji in eleven forms- whether in form of art, picture or movie does not full justice.
This is very good and deep video on this subject:
Regarding calls to ban this movie, sending outrageous death threats to director(saw tribal crazy people calling out death threats to director on facebook) is absolute knee j erk reaction, most people haven't been seen this movie or looked at this overall issue -see positive message behind this movie - great work is being done to spread awareness guru maharaj teaching to whole humanity being spread in form of movie , actual intent for director which is nothing but positive.
By looking at all of these, there is no reason for call for outright ban for this movie but we should just provide constructive feedback to director to explore -Satguru nanak dev ji deep nature for future projects.
I love how people who calls for ban and death threats to directors- pick and choose where to apply their irrational beadhi argument..same beadhi argument can be applied on depiction of satguru nanak in form of picture, cartoon books(animated picture of satguru nanak dev ji in sikh cartoons books for sikh kids), artistic imagery in the mind and confining satguru nanak to only picture which is nothing but biggest insult of depriving our satguru nanak dev ji to its most profound saroop which is shabad and nirgun saroop.

N30 I agree with everything you said except about this movie shouldn't be banned. ...

This movie should be banned or redone. . Have you not seen their comments that guru ji didn't wear a dastaar. Or reports that this Harish Khanna guy did the motions for guru maharaj....

If we allow people to act as guru ji in films how will we be able to stop them in real life.

We can't, just have a walk around the Punjab, you'll find someone pretending to be a Baba or a Guru's re-incarnation in pretty much every corner you look, it's easy to scapegoat a film for this kind of thing but the reality is it's been going on for years and years, while i agree that it's inappropriate to depict any of the Guru's i also thought the Chaar Saahibaadhe movie was full of inaccuracies and really wasn't worthy of all the praise it got (my personal opinion of course) but i let them slide because that film did more good for the younger generation where it got them to ask question's about their faith and learn more, just because it was animated didn't make it right.

If you look into the history of this film you'l find that it was filmed and finished in the middle of 2014, it has been shown at plenty of events and the message people have taken away is a positive one but then, as always, one man's art is another man's blasphemy.
