The film, which has started shooting in Gujarat, can be said to be produced by a major production company. Director Sunil Darshan has started shooting in Gujarat and work on Akshay Kumar’s two films (one each in Rajkot and Surat) will begin on December 9. 9 is his lucky number.

I&B Ministry wakes up to abnormal situation in film OTT
Movies have always been subject to strict censorship, and OTT shows are free to screen vulgarity, abusive language, and even anti-national content. Currently, movies shown on OTT platforms contain scenes and sequences that have been removed from the movie by censors as unfit for public viewing.
This makes the whole idea of censoring movies meaningless. Some content may not be available for viewing in theaters, but it is kosher to watch at home.
In fact, OTT platforms started with programs that were not suitable for watching at home with the family. ‘Sacred Games’ was one of the earliest web series to air on OTT and reeked of all kinds of vulgarity and perversion.
There was also an illogical series called “Arya”. A child walks up to his grandfather who is having sex. He continues unfazed!
Then there was a web series called ‘Gunjan Saxena’ which allegedly defamed the Indian Air Force in no uncertain terms. Viewers spoke out, and the media amplified their emotions. what happened? This only served as further promotion for the program. This is often considered promotion of such content.
The problem with our system is that we cannot predict what will ultimately go against our traditions. Why did the authorities turn a blind eye to the abuses of OTT platforms and their content providers?
I think the ministry in charge took the cinematography guidelines at face value. Although the Act states that films containing the above content should not be certified for public viewing, OTT platforms are happily showing the very same content. Therefore, viewing vulgar, gory and sexually explicit content on OTT platforms does not constitute “public display” as defined by censorship guidelines.
The OTT format made its debut in India in 2016 and has since then continued to enjoy the freedom from censorship to happily display content created by makers.
No wonder the success rate of OTT content is severely limited. This is how people express their opinions.
OTT platforms are meant to provide home entertainment, so if you can’t watch the content with your family, it won’t be a big enough hit. His most loved OTT programs are the ones that do not contain any vulgar or sex scenes. ‘Fraud 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story’, ‘The Family Man’, ‘Special Ops’, ‘Panchayat’ (both seasons 1 and 2), ‘Gulak’ (all three seasons), ‘Rocket The Boys” were all clean entertainers. success.
OTT content creators need to realize that if people want to watch sex, porn videos are available online. They must also be well aware that forcing in a few sex scenes is not a formula for success. The film industry has thrived without the need for sex, gore, and vulgarity.
Be it movies or OTT, content is king. Also, unlike in the case of movies, OTT content providers must spread their content across multiple episodes and multiple seasons. That can certainly be accomplished without such unwarranted digressions.
The I&B Ministry has decided to curb OTT platforms and their content, but the industry is reacting like spoiled brats. Why did the ministry not consider treating the film and his OTT content as similar and therefore subject to the same set of rules? It’s hard to explain why the government turned a blind eye to the kind of content these platforms are streaming.
Stakeholders are in tears now that the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has proposed the Broadcasting Services (Regulation) Bill, 2023 to replace the existing Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995.
The Broadcasting Services (Regulation) Bill, 2023 is intended to be updated to keep pace with the times and take into account OTT, digital media, DTH, IPTV and other emerging technologies.
To achieve this objective, the ministry has set up a Content Evaluation Committee (CEC) to scrutinize all content by broadcasters and OTT platforms before making it available to the public.
Content providers appear to be more concerned about this development than OTT platforms. Do they think only sex, gore and vulgarity will work for his OTT audience? Why?

Not all of them are depicted in films released for public viewing and are still subject to censorship. And with its clean content, the film industry has survived for more than a century.
People our media calls experts have different views. Some people agree, some people disagree. News organizations have a right to brand people as experts and analysts, but the logic of this proposition is hard to argue with. In other words, why don’t the laws that apply to feature films apply to other forms of entertainment, especially his OTT content? Is the target audience the same?
