“Gully Boy got the most number of votes because of its overall artistic merit”, explains Aparna Sen about the Ranveer Singh starrer going to the Oscars
Ever since Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy was chosen as India’s official entry to the Oscars this year there has been a hue and cry about the validity of the selection. There were tweets by droves suggesting alternative films from the past one year that were more eligible. But Aparna Sen who headed the jury for the selection of the Oscar entry is adamant that only Gully Boy deserved to make the cut. “Gully Boy got the most number of votes because of its overall artistic merit”, explains Aparna Sen about the Ranveer Singh starrer going to the Oscars In an exclusive chat with this writer, Aparna Sen says, “Gully Boy got the most number of votes. Because of its overall artistic merit as well as its popular appeal, it was felt by the jury to be the fittest film to represent India at the Oscars, which is essentially a popular award.” However, there is a storm of protest brewing against Gully Boy going to the Oscars because of its striking similarities to the Curtis Hanson-directed 2012 Hollywood film 8 Mile. Though Zoya Akhtar has vehemently denied Gully Boy’s affinity to 8 Mile, the Oscars committee is known to disqualify any film for even a whiff of suspicion about its originality.

Online streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime may have to start censoring their content in India

Online streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime may have to start censoring their content in India
The Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court in India issued notices on a petition filed against online streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime to regulate uncensored content and is put out by them. The Public Interest Litigation ((PIL) has been filed by an NGO named Maatr Foundation wants to lay down some rules in the largely unregulated course of online content created by Balaji Telefilms, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Ullu, Viacom 18, VIU, Yash Raj Films, and more. Online streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime may have to start censoring their content in India The petition also points out that since these online streaming services are easily accessible to anyone with an internet connection and an affinity to binge-watch, it could be influencing the adolescent minds of minors with its “vulgar” and “obscene” content, equating it to porn and hence calling the streamed content illegal since porn was banned back in 2015. "These content streamers are not only objectifying women but also showing them in a bad light and are filling the minds with lascivious thoughts which violate their fundamental right to live with dignity,” said one of the petitioners in court. The movie content that releases in India is censored by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). On the other hand, streaming services manage to bypass all the cuts because they run on the internet. Even the CBFC and Information and Broadcasting Ministry of India has denied jurisdiction in previous petitions filed against these platforms. Netflix, Hotstar, Jio, Eros Now, Sony Pictures, Arre, ALTBalaji, Zee5 and Viacom18 in January had promised to adhere to a ‘Code of Best Practices for Online Curated Content Providers’ and regulate their own content. However, similar peas have been denied earlier in Delhi and Karnataka.
