| Overdose of Hinduism in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo |
Entire Indian film fraternity, mostly promoters of secularism and tolerance announced returning all the Filmfare and National awards, protesting the decision of Censor Board for allowing Prem Ratan Dhan Payo's (PRDP's) release in Diwali this year. According to media sources, many film makers and actors infuriated because of a lot of Hindu cultural coverage in the movie which would probably hurt sentiments of minorities for making them isolated and feel dejected.
"This movie has a full of communal contents for 3 hours like marriage process in Hindu religion, appeasement of Hindu Gods and a lot of promotion of Hindu ideology. Everything is Hindu while other religions are totally ignored. The movie neither carries a message of cultural shift from Hinduism to other minority religions nor a message to Indians to be tolerant on Pakistan policy in the entire film. Our Indian culture believes in tolerance and love but the movie promotes Hindu nationalism and RSS ideologues and therefore we decided to return awards," said a press release issued by the Movie Makers And Actors Grid.
The list includes a lot of big named movie film makers and actors.
In an exclusive interview to India Satire correspondent, movie director Farah Khan said "I am also going to return my Oscar Award that I received for making Tees Maar Khan."
