Vishwaroopam is a film based on Taliban - USA clashes. It was made very clear through the trailer and the information that Kamal Hasan gave to the media.
Everyone knows what is the religion of Afghanistan, every one knows how USA is trying to prove its supremacy in Afghan.
Then why these many protests from Muslim Politicians of Tamilnadu???
Movie got released today in Kerala where 25% of the population are Muslims and no protests came from them.
Movie got released in Malaysia where Muslims are in large numbers, but no protests came from them.
Then why the protests from Tamilnadu alone?
Can a movie create huge impact on a society?
The answer is a big "NO". The best examples are Kamal Hasan movies alone.
Mahanadi portrayed the Chit companies fraud, but till date its continuing non stop. Did the people awake from that and stopped investing in private chit funds?
In Virumandi, death sentence abolishment was the concept? Did it happen????
In Devar magan, eradication of communal fights is the concept. Did people stop it by looking its climax?
In Anbe sivam, love and affection is the main concept. But did any one turn communist and showered affection on all?
If all the above Kamal films did not create any impact, how can Vishwaroopam create a bad impact on the society????
If any one protesting against the film can answer this properly, he can be treated as THE BEST EVER INDIAN CITIZEN caring about Indian society.
But no one protesting against this film has a valid reason. Simply they are citing that all muslim characters shown in the film are terrorist characters. Is there any other religion in Afghanistan prevailing? Is there any militant from Afghanistan who is a non - muslim. This doesn't mean that all muslims are terrorits? Does it mean? I dont think so.
Yesterday I read one article from an Indian muslim writer about this issue, I was surprised to see that he is feeling ashamed for this protest by few co-muslims.Hats off to you Mr Naseeruddin Shah @ Alavandhan.
Even if few scenes in film are against a community , how our censor board will certify them? Lets assume that they have missed it, in that case, any one has right to ask the producer of the movie to remove those obsene scenes only. No one has right to ask for a ban on the movie. Look Cinema as a Cinema and not as the one which is really happening around you.
If a film can cause a revolt or an impact on society, then how many of the educated youth turned up in politics watching Ayutha Ezhuthu(Yuva)? I dont see any , including me.
Finally, only one thing is flashing in mind. Free publicity for the lesser known political party in TN, like the one who became so popular by starting a protest against FANAA in Gujarat , few years back.
This article is not to offend any Muslim or any one personally. I personally feel that there is no meaning in asking for a ban on Vishwaroopam. If few scenes are against Islam, any one in this country has every right to ask Kamal Hasan to remove it from the movie. But no one has any right to ask for the ban on the movie. I am really surprised to see why the TN Govt imposed ban. Is it because Udhayanidhi Stalin is distributing the movie in Salem area or is it to prove the protests are correct or is it to corner Kamal Hasan or is it for some thing else. Questions are many , but there are no valid answers.
I am sorry if this article hurted any one directly or indirectly. Its purely my opinion and I believe I have freedom of speech still existing in this country.
Sukumar R... A Die hard Kamal Hasan Fan
