Mr. @prasoonjoshi_
Can you please enlighten us on why 127 cuts were recommended for the film Panjab '95?
The same film, now renamed ‘Satluj’, has been taken down from an OTT platform in less than two days. The CBFC has no jurisdiction over OTT platforms or international releases.
Panjab '95 tells the story of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a man who exposed documented human rights abuses and paid for it with his life. If a film based on documented facts cannot be seen by Indian audiences, then the public deserves to know why.
This sends a very direct message to filmmakers and production companies: if you're paying homage to a great personality from a minority community, you'll have to face the CBFC.
Journalists should be asking the people running this censor board some hard questions. Why are some politically insensitive films able to pass with ease while others spend years in limbo?
A red carpet for Kashmir Files, Bengal Files, and Kerala Story. Roses for Dhurandar 1 & 2, a fictional documentary/explainer for the unthinkable and the unexplainable.
How does it feel to feast on four years of a director's career?
In Nehru's India, this would have been litigated in court. If filmmakers cannot tell the stories of people who stood up for justice without years of obstruction, what kind of cinema are we encouraging them to make?
Jaswant Singh Khalra Abducted again,
This time by the CBFC
मणिपुर सालों से जल रहा है, और आज फिर नफ़रत और हिंसा की आग में 20 घर राख हो गए।
दो सरकारों और राष्ट्रपति शासन के बावजूद संघर्ष गहराता ही जा रहा है। हज़ारों लोग अपनी जान गंवा चुके हैं, अनगिनत परिवार उजड़ गए हैं - मणिपुर जिस असहनीय पीड़ा से गुज़र रहा है, उसकी कल्पना भी मुश्किल है।
यह मोदी सरकार की उस विभाजनकारी विचारधारा का नतीजा है, जो लोगों को धर्म, जाति, भाषा, क्षेत्र और पहचान के नाम पर बाँटती है।
आज मणिपुर ही नहीं, पूरा देश प्रधानमंत्री से संवेदना के दो शब्द की भी उम्मीद छोड़ चुका है, कार्रवाई की बात तो दूर गई।
मणिपुर बेहतर का हक़दार है - और इसके लिए भारत जोड़ना ही एकमात्र रास्ता है।
DAY 4 UPDATE
I’m feeling ok, bit tired though.
Doctor said BP was low, I’ll increase water n salt intake. Sugar level is low at 66 but that’s because of no food for 3 days, as ketosis takes over body starts consuming fats etc. In prolonged fast it may consume muscles & organs resulting in death but I’m nowhere near that.
My weight has gone down by 2 Kgs… a loss of some 650 gm per day n that’s also normal.
My inconveniences are nothing compared to the 20+ students who gave their lives & the 5 youths who died in Ladakh last September.
Thanks for all your support
Jai Hind.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one for me is worth millions.
Badi bi sahi keh rahi hai… THANK YOU is very small in front of what I feel right now.
While I am indebted to every single soul connected to Welcome to the Jungle, I bow down in gratitude to seniors like Farida ji and Kiran Sir. It must be their blessings which is seeing our film get such unimaginable love from all of you.
Love you all from the whole team of Welcome To The Jungle.
Jai Mahakal 🙌
As a student of history, I have to say that it is unfortunate that persons holding Constitutional positions like @myogiadityanath have serious academic & intellectual deficit .
The Partition of India was the tragic culmination of long-term structural factors, shifting political dynamics, and strategic miscalculations, rather than the "fault" of any single party.
One reason was the Two-Nation Theory & Muslim League Mobilization
advocated by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the All-India Muslim League, this theory posited that Hindus and Muslims were distinct nations requiring separate homelands. Savarkar (1937) endorsed 'two nations' idea, mirroring Jinnah.
The Turning Point came during 1940 Lahore Resolution formally demanded autonomous states in Muslim-majority regions.
By the 1945–46 elections, the League won an overwhelming majority of Muslim seats, cementing its position as the sole representative of Indian Muslims and turning the demand for Pakistan into a mass movement.
Hindu Mahasabha allied with Muslim League in Bengal, Sindh, NWFP govts (1940s), even as Pakistan Resolution was pushed.
Hindu Mahasabha pushed for Bengal partition on communal lines.
It contributed to communal polarisation alongside League. Partition was tragedy fueled by multiple players, not just one
Second was the British "Divide and Rule" and its hasty Retreat.
British imperial policy systematically institutionalized religious divisions to counter nationalist unity. The introduction of separate electorates in 1909 communalized the electoral system.
Third, exhausted by World War II, facing economic strain, and fearing mutiny within the Indian armed forces, the British government (under Attlee and Viceroy Mountbatten) rushed the independence timeline forward by ten months. This hasty exit left no time to resolve complex boundary and minority safety issues.
Fourth, the communal violence aggravated the situation .Political deadlock quickly translated into societal trauma. The League’s call for "Direct Action Day" in August 1946 triggered the Great Calcutta Killings. The ensuing cycle of retaliatory violence across Punjab and Bengal convinced leaders on all sides that a unified central government would collapse into a total civil war.
Fifth, there was breakdown of Negotiations
Congress leaders (including Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Vallabhbhai Patel) consistently fought for a united, secular India.
However, the failure of the 1946 Cabinet Mission Plan, a last-ditch effort at a loose, three-tiered federal structure,broke the final chance for unity due to mutual mistrust over how provincial groupings would work.
Partition was a collective tragedy. Congress reluctantly accepted it as a grim, last-resort compromise to prevent total civil war and secure a functioning central government for the rest of India.Sardar Patel himself noted that if Congress hadn't accepted Partition, India would have fractured into dozens of warring pieces. It was a painful surgical strike to save the rest of the nation from an endless civil war.
History isn't Hindutva propaganda .Partition was collective failure,not Congress "surrender". Congress (Gandhi, Nehru, Patel) fought for united India till end , accepted only to avert civil war .
We strongly condemn the attempt by Neeraj Yadav and Ajay Devgn's upcoming film Chauhaan to appropriate the Chauhan clan name for contemporary communal politics.
Rajput history is not a political prop. The legacy of the Chauhans belongs to Rajput history , not to electoral narratives or manufactured controversies of external agents. We reject every attempt to weaponize Rajput identity for ideological ends.

एक और पेपर लीक।
एक और परीक्षा रद्द।
इस बार महाराष्ट्र का TET।
देश की शिक्षा और परीक्षा व्यवस्था को वसूली का सिस्टम बना दिया गया है, जिससे देश का हर युवा असुरक्षित है।
यह सिर्फ पेपर लीक नहीं,
यह युवाओं के भविष्य की चोरी है।
बेहद प्रभावशाली कविता और उतना ही कमाल का पाठ राजेंद्र जी का। गिरने का महत्व बहुत सुंदर से बताया गया है। इसे सुनने के बाद गिरते रहने की असीम प्रेरणा मिलेगी। जो भी गिर रहे हैं, ज़्यादा गिरने के लिए यह कविता सुनें।

MAD CRAZY ENTERTAINER
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (3.5/5)
#WelcomeToTheJungle is a thoroughly entertaining comic caper that delivers laughs through hilarious one-liners, witty situational comedy and non-stop madness.
#AkshayKumar is in terrific form, leading the chaos with impeccable comic timing, while the massive ensemble cast - #SuneilShetty - #ArshadWarsi - #PareshRawal & rest keeps the entertainment quotient consistently high. A wholesome family entertainer that promises plenty of fun and laughter on the big screen.
Director #AhmedKhan deserves appreciation for pulling off such a challenging film. Handling a massive ensemble cast while maintaining the comic rhythm isn’t easy, and he succeeds in delivering an entertaining, laugh-filled big-screen experience.

#WelcomeToTheJungle: ENTERTAINING.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
Get ready for a 1980s-style masala entertainer... The focus is on fun, laughter, nostalgia, and larger-than-life entertainment – not logic or reasoning... Several jokes land effectively, though the post-interval portions feel stretched. #WTTJReview
#WTTJ is aimed at the masses... Bollywood has largely forgotten how to create entertainers that connect with audiences beyond the metros – the heartland and mass pockets in particular... This one is for them.
A massive cast, emphasis on entertainment, visually striking songs, big-screen action, and a few pleasant surprises – #WTTJ has it all.
The biggest achievement of director Ahmed Khan is managing such a massive cast... Pulling off a film of this scale is no easy feat, and the effort is visible on screen.
However, Ahmed attempts to pack every ingredient imaginable into the narrative, and that's where the film stumbles... The post-interval portions lack the sparkle and energy that make the first half so enjoyable.
Despite the gigantic cast, it's #AkshayKumar who drives the film... Playing to the gallery, his impeccable comic timing emerges as one of the film's major strengths.
#SunielShetty and #ArshadWarsi are effective in their respective parts... #PareshRawal, #RajpalYadav, and #ShreyasTalpade – the on-screen movie-makers – contribute several genuinely funny moments, while #JohnyLever remains dependable as ever.
The sequences involving the Azadganj villagers – #RaveenaTandon, #FaridaJalal, and #KiranKumar – are thoroughly entertaining... All three are terrific.
Both #DishaPatani and #JacquelineFernandez get limited scope and don't have much to do... #JackieShroff, as the antagonist, makes his presence felt.
The cameo appearances by stars from a hugely popular TV show bring back a strong sense of nostalgia.
The dialogues are genuinely hilarious at several places, while the soundtrack turns out to be a mixed bag.
⭐ Final word? #WTTJ is tailored for audiences who simply want to smile, laugh, and have a good time – logic be damned.
Rattle the RSS & BJP hisses.
Everytime anyone questions the RSS, BJP loses its composure.
Ask why an organisation that contributed nothing to the freedom struggle now lectures the nation on patriotism and the BJP hisses back.
Ask why it took 52 years for the Tricolour to be hoisted at Nagpur and the BJP hisses back.
Ask whose Constitution they truly swear by Babasaheb's, or the one they wish they had written instead and the BJP hisses back.
Ask why they refuse to register themselves, pay taxes and BJP hisses back.
Ask RSS to follow what it preaches and BJP hisses back.
The BJP has always been the RSS' instrument, never merely its ally. Every hiss just confirms who's holding the tail.
सत्ता के अहंकार में डूबी मोदी सरकार अब इस मुकाम पर पहुँच गई है कि अपने अधिकारों, निष्पक्ष परीक्षाओं और सुरक्षित भविष्य की मांग करने वाले छात्रों को ही शिक्षा मंत्री “आतंकवादी” कह रहे हैं।
ज़रा सोचिए - जिसकी नाकामी से इतने पेपर लीक हुए, जिसके राज में 20 बच्चों ने जान दे दी, जिसने करोड़ों युवाओं का भविष्य अंधेरे में धकेल दिया - वो आज पीड़ित बच्चों और उनकी आवाज़ उठाने वालों को “दहशतगर्द” बता रहा है।
पर यह कोई नई बात नहीं: अन्नदाता किसानों को "आंदोलनजीवी और परजीवी" कहा। सवाल पूछने वाले को “Anti-National” कहा। और अब युवाओं को “दहशतगर्द।”
जो भी सरकार से सवाल पूछे - उसे देशद्रोही बता दो, यही इनकी पूरी राजनीति है।
धर्मेंद्र प्रधान जी, देश के करोड़ों युवाओं से तुरंत माफ़ी माँगिए और अपनी नाकामियों के लिए इस्तीफ़ा दीजिए।
और रही मेरी बात - आप मुझ पर जितने चाहें हमले कर लीजिए। मैंने कोटा में कहा था, और फिर कहता हूँ: यह शिक्षा व्यवस्था आज सिर्फ़ एक वसूली तंत्र बन गई है। मैं इसे ऐसे ही नहीं रहने दूँगा।
हर बच्चे को सस्ती, अच्छी शिक्षा और निष्पक्ष परीक्षा मिले - इस आवाज़ को उठाना मैं कभी बंद नहीं करूँगा।
