Adipurush row

Post-release, Adipurush, an adaptation of the epic Ramayana, has received severe criticism. From critics to reviewers, many had reservations about the film’s dialogue. “marega bete,” “bua ka bagicha hain kya,” and “jalegi tere baap ki” are some of the dialogues for which the filmmakers have drawn criticism. In response to online outrage and negative reviews, the creators of Adipurush by Om Raut revised the dialogue.

Vivek on Adipurush

According to India.com Vivek stated in Hindi, “When it comes to Astha, we are extremely responsible and considerate. Aapki kya aastha hai, kisi ki kya aastha hai… jaise kisi ka bacha hai aur maa ko agta hai ki mera bacha duniya me sabse sundar hai, toh mujhe koi haq nahi bolne ka ki vo thoda kam sundar hai nay nahi sundar hai. Vo maa ki aastha aur prem ha. Prem aur aastha ke mamle me sari rationale fail ho jati hai. A film about people’s faith requires extreme sensitivity and accountability. Your beliefs may be dissimilar to mine. Similarly, if a mother believes that her child is the most attractive child in the world, I have no right to disprove her because her belief and affection are based on truth. There is no logic involved in matters of faith and affection. It is a sin in and of itself to attempt to shake this faith, to hurt the sentiments and beliefs of these individuals.

When asked if the CBFC committee objected to various sequences and lines of dialogue in Adipurush, he responded, “I am a member of the CBFC board. We do not view the film for certification purposes. The film is viewed by ordinary men and women. I do not know what happened to the film and who viewed it at each stage. I have not yet seen the film…Therefore, I know little about the film. If you were to review my past statements and comments, you would notice that I rarely discuss other films. I never comment on the films made by others, regardless of their quality. However, I would say that religious matters are quite delicate.”

Vivek Agnihotri stated that same-sex marriage is not a ‘urban elitist’ concept. In response to a Supreme Court case, the director tweeted on Tuesday that those who query same-sex marriages have never visited India’s small towns and villages. Vivek added that in a “progressive, liberal, and inclusive” society such as India, same-sex marriage “should be the norm, not a crime.”

NO. Same sex marriage is not an ‘urban elitist’ concept. It’s a human need. Maybe some sarkari elites drafted it who have never travelled in small towns & villages. Or Mumbai locals.

First, same sex marriage is not a concept. It’s a need. It’s a right.
And in a progressive,… https://t.co/M4S3o5InXI

He was responding to a tweet that stated, “Centre tells Supreme Court same-sex marriage is an urban elitist concept that is far removed from the country’s social ethos.” Extending same-sex marriage beyond heterosexual unions will create a new institution, according to the Center for Equal Marriage. In response, Vivek tweeted, “NO. Same-sex marriage is not a ‘urban elitist’ concept. It is a basic human requirement. Perhaps it was written by sarkari (government) elites who have never visited small cities and villages. Or Mumbai residents. The concept of same-sex marriage does not exist. It’s necessary. This is a privilege. And in a civilisation as progressive, liberal, and inclusive as Bharat, same-sex marriage should be the norm, not a criminal.”

Hansal Mehta, a filmmaker, echoed these sentiments when he shared a still from Modern Love: Mumbai. He posted on Twitter, “Come on, Supreme Court! Create a course. Legalise same sex marriages.” Hansal had directed an episode of the 2022 anthology series that centered on a homosexual couple’s love story.

Last year, Hansal Mehta stated that he did not select a gay actor in his episode, which featured the couple Pratik Gandhi and Ranveer Brar. Hansal had stated in an interview with Mashable India, “I understand what they (the LGBTQ community) are saying, and I believe that representation should emanate from the stories. If someone is suitable for the cast, regardless of sexual orientation, they should be cast appropriately.”

On Tuesday, a five-judge Supreme Court constitution bench – composed of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and justices SK Kaul, S Ravindra Bhat, PS Narasimha, and Hima Kohli – will hear a group of petitions seeking legal validation of same sex marriages in the country. However, the Center has opposed the proposal.
