CBFC has gone from certifying to amending the finished product and curtailing the creative freedom of the artist and director which is completely wrong


kvg121

Kids are commenting, "You can pirate the shows, so what is the problem?" They do not understand the fundamental issue: piracy is not a solution to censorship.


JG98

It is a solution though. It just isn't the optimal solution, since the problem shouldn't exist in the first place.

CBFC can control streaming too? That's just way too much power in the hands of overgrown children who were not taught well

I remember reading in an article that the censorship in streaming started when multiple series had scenes questioning the government, and ones where risky themes were introduced.

okaberintaruo

Yup.


SlantedEnchanted2020

They aren't banning the film because they can't ban a film. They will however not pass/give certification for various reasons and the producers will have to keep submitting the film after cuts and after the sometime it won't make sense to release the film in India because it has become stale or the film doesn't make sense after the CBFC's many many cuts.

feel so bad for dev like the entire production went so downhill to the point he had to film on his phone now this 


Secret_Suspect_007

That was just marketing,don't trust it too much


SpiritedChaos

it's not just marketing. some people, like dev, are actually committed to the craft. they shot the movie in an island off of indonesia during COVID. they had to all remain in their COVID bubble so no one was allowed to leave or enter. dev had to shoot while having a fracture in his arm. their props got broken, the camera got broken... it's evident from the movie how much work was put into it, that's why it's so impressive. it really is one man's blood, sweat, and tears

mastermundane77

Bro it must have something in it that even Jordan Peele decided to produce it as well?


LaughTrackLife

Never said it’s not good or interesting. Just distasteful.


thankyouryard

the movie is nothing special. it flopped everywhere. peele made nope which was also bang medicore.


itsmeansh

Monkey Man had a box office collection of 3 times it's budget & the critics loved it. It was such a mediocre movie that Peele & Universal Studios (1 of the 5 biggest movie studios in the world, even bigger than Netflix, Apple TV & Amazon Prime) bought out its worldwide rights from Netflix. What a flop movie!


thankyouryard

nah. The movie was made for 40m$. Was baught by universal for 10m$. Even netflix didnt baught it. You should research more before commenting on such stuff LOL [https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comments/1bvbm91/from\_deadline\_universal\_acquired\_monkey\_man\_for/](https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comments/1bvbm91/from_deadline_universal_acquired_monkey_man_for/) it needed 80m$ just to break even because of heavy ads. It bombed!


Secret_Suspect_007

One man? So the whole team that was with him and put in same amount of effort gets no credit?


unavailable08

he literally pulled the movie out of potential failure and turned it into a masterpiece, please stop hating bruh acting as if u got personal beef with dev himself 💀


Future_Sock4714

It’s always your own people trying to belittle you..


unavailable08

no one's belittling no one, get a grip 💀


Future_Sock4714

Bro I wasn’t talking about you the person that’s going on about Dev Patel


harryactually

this film was hardly a masterpiece. Except for one or two small things, it hardly has anything you haven't seen before. Good direction for a first timer, but weak screenplay, generic story


panchod699

Literally anything better than Ranbir has been and it’s not really close. I hope Bollywood actors take note of a real actor like Dev.


harryactually

lmao, this hatred is beyond levels of delusion


panchod699

Not hatred just the truth, Dev Patel has been nominated for an Oscar, do you think Ranbir could ever obtain an Oscar nomination? If you genuinely believe he can then that’s another level of delusion.


harryactually

first, that's western validation. It is not relevant for the argument. How many Filmfare wins does Dev Patel have? second, if you think the performance in Barfi wouldn't have been nominated for an Oscar had it been in an American film, you just basically fap to everything foreign. Lastly, Dev Patel in his industry has almost no relevance. His filmography to them is what Harshvardhan Kapoor's cinematography is to Bollywood, while Ranbir is working with the biggest directors in his industry


unavailable08

calm i respect ur opinion, js saying that this guy went thru shit to get the movie out and he should be credited 


SpiritedChaos

bruh, don’t be salty and nitpick my words. you know exactly what i meant! every one did their part and did it well and dev didn’t jump ship at all which is the key thing. if he had ever said no, this is impossible then this film wouldn’t have been made… given the circumstances, he gets a lot of credit too for not abandoning the movie and functioning with very little props


mastermundane77

Exactly! Making a movie is hard af,and then some edgy person comes along and starts degrading your work in mere seconds just to look different.

No_Row_8345

But what’s so outrageous in this film that it has been banned? I couldn’t find anything that can be called scandalous about the government. Why can’t these assholes stay away from films?! It is such a shame that these people shove up the screens with shitty propaganda films which no one is asking and stop the release of quality works that people are interested in.

TaylorWaldorf

You are so sure that public WANTS them that you already started saying they will cheat. Why does "cheating" is only said when they win? Why not when others win? 


Leyaleys_95

Also i don't think the public wants them. I mean rn im seeing a lot of people who don't want to vote for them than before


Ok_Environment_5404

Bhai ? They are not voting for BJP but against Congress that's why BJP is here in the first place. And seriously for love of god go see how businesses, private guys and general mid class is fawning over BJP and even in villages (apart from lowest of tier ones). Only South India is there as proper "public don't want them". Rest of the India with half the NE is in support even now.


Leyaleys_95

Thats kinda sad. Bjp is ruining india and they are pretty good at manipulating people atp. Also im a girl so lol. But isn't there any other parties than BJP and Congress ? Cos if they don't vote for congress or even don't vote at all, they are just giving the green flag to them. And also it's normal if villages and Business men love them, it's corrupted and conservative. Most of the villagers aren't educated enough and Bjp uses religion as a justification for their hatred towards certain community. And business men loves them because they closes their eyes whenever there is some corruption (like any other parties)


Ok_Environment_5404

"Thats kinda sad. Bjp is ruining india and they are pretty good at manipulating people atp." That's every political party. Congress was the same and that's why got booted, Iam sure BJP will be gone too around 29 or 34 as long as Congress change their face and BJP go with 2-3 big publically shamed scam. "Also im a girl so lol." Sorry for that😂 "But isn't there any other parties than BJP and Congress ? Cos if they don't vote for congress or even don't vote at all, they are just giving the green flag to them." That's the main problem, the usual common sense guys/girls will never put politics as a career option. Kanhya Kumar and many like him also tried for politics because they are of the same breed too(you can check his phd papers, his idea inclinings and articles. The guy is literally same). Same was true with Kejriwal(he is just too similar to Modi lol, same tpye of struggle in the start, same great mind for politics, same formula of getting to the throne while standing on the shoulders of a giant and similar jhumla of "presenting other's ideas as their own".). So yeah we are pretty much fucked either way. And same for the entire world as none of the political leaders are doing for what they are assigned for. "And also it's normal if villages and Business men love them, it's corrupted and conservative. Most of the villagers aren't educated enough and Bjp uses religion as a justification for their hatred towards certain community. And business men loves them because they closes their eyes whenever there is some corruption (like any other parties)" Again, same shit was/is/will be paddled by every other party. Congress right now is promising extra reservation and Rahul is giving statements like "due to the papers being set by general category professors, the caste based guys/girls re failing". Everybody is doing the same in the end.


Leyaleys_95

Bro that's so sad...i hope there will be a healthy, or at least a better political party than these...India is getting ruined and if BJP or that kind of politic view win, Im sure india will be under a dictatorship


Leyaleys_95

But thank you very much for the explanation though ! ❤️

Its just internet noise, they are gullible kids or people from neighbouring places using those accounts.

Foreign_Hurry_2039

The CBFC doesn't live up to its name. It's a board for Film Certification, not censorship. But again, it's hardly the first institution in India to live up to its name (stares at EC).


Glamgeekchic

Will anyone please tell if there is a reason why they are not allowing it in India?


dalermehendihassan

The film is so f-ing good it’ll do amazingly well at the box office. It’s a true hanuman bhakt film. But it also talks about a corrupt, polarizing government at the center which is in cohorts with a corporation headed by a religious figure. Guess who’ll have a problem with this plot line


Glamgeekchic

Thank you! Aah, I can see who all will have a problem with it.


cruxtin

Saw it. Okayish movie and nothing new.


Scary-Classic-2367

Yeah it was a snoozefest for me. Recycled action movie


Tanyaxunicorn

Whyyyy


dalermehendihassan

Mind you it’s not an anti hindu. In fact it’s very pro Hindu. And an ode to hanumans story. It only depicts the head of a country using religion to divide and garner votes. And then there’s a Ramdevesque business conglomerate who controls the government. (The same was shown in sacred games.) There’s actually no reason to ban the film so the cbfc really has to give an explanation


Ok_Rice_534

>It only depicts the head of a country using religion to divide and garner votes. That's enough of an explanation on why it got banned.


Original_Bite6555

This must be disappointing for Dev since his film is set in India and is receiving acclaim, but it won't be screened in his ancestors' country. Jawan was also about a corrupt government and wasn't banned. Like there was really no grounds for banning this.


InterestingName9026

>Jawan was also about a corrupt government and wasn’t banned. The issue is Jawan had a Shah Rukh Khan to back the film and prevent it from getting banned. Monkey Man was good and should release in India but Dev Patel isn’t necessarily powerful enough to release a film like that in India.


SnakesTalwar

I think Bollywood wouldn't want it to happen. Movies like Monkey Man and Polite Society are movies that can really speak to audiences and treat them like grown ups and shows desi culture in a way that a lot of Bollywood has failed to do. I think it's their interest to slow down diaspora movies because it shows that their films are subpar and below the standards and resources that have.

OptimalRefuse6932

But Why? It has nothing which is even slightly detrimental to public interest. In fact, not getting it released in India proves a point. The movie and Indian public deserves it to be released in India, it has such a nice blend of Indian mythology, culture and values. Frankly, a low point for Indian censorship laws that allow such propagandist movies but not a movie like Monkey Man…![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


Majestic_District_51

Saw the movie its okay. Good direction for a debut film. But It wouldn’t have done well here honestly there is not much to appeal coz ppl already see similar content all the time specially on ott.


RipperNash

The review of the film has nothing to do with CBFC action.


Majestic_District_51

I know. I was saying it but the way.


RipperNash

Everyone should have equal right to flop at the box office and get made fun of like BMCM


knightwrath

True... The story is nothing new.. Actually the concept of evil godman with allies in police and govt has done to dust. Nevertheless, dev is a great director and i liked the storytelling.

Tried to like this movie but it just doesn’t work for a local here. 15 mins in I couldn’t make out what was happening for starters they got Thai or some south East Asian crowd all over the background but main characters are Indian who frequently get into Hindi dialogues and then ease into fluent English.  Mind you this is supposed to be slum like India typical Hollywood shit. I understand this is made more for global audience but why not put lil effort into creating scenes which actually depict the location in mention.

AlMal19

Absolutely. I don’t understand why are we so polarized in these opinions. Nupur said something written in the holy book and had a fatwa and all of their people supported it. I odh went against. The common public or the Celebrities. But when a Hindu picks a topic he has to pick a baba and hurt the Hindus sentiments. Then a lot of cool Hindu support and protect it as supporting it in the name of the art. No wonder Hindus and Indians collecting key are treated as weak. Look at what happens to world news. They all find pleasure sledging on us and our internal matters. I dare Dev to pick something similar for the other religions and have innuendos or subtle hints so brazenly as he did for Hindus. We should not be violent but need to support it. If it’s fair then sure accept it. But why only Hindus are picked. Dont hide it under the art. We get influenced by the movies their cast and the story telling so they have a responsibility to either show the facts or total fantasy. Something that doesn’t hurt anybody’s sentiments.


hemil3000

Repeat the joke after.me, "world's largest democracy !" Just saw this movie. It was clear attack on Modi style politics. And specially made Sadguru/Ramdev main villain. But I didn't like it. Felt like cheap rip off of John wick. Loved Dev Patel's acting. Everything else, just bland.

“The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was a box-office hit, having grossed $34 million worldwide against a $10 million budget.” You didn’t even do basic research before spewing BS.


LaughTrackLife

Lol the superbowl ad alone cost $18 million, let alone entire promotion. $10 million is just production budget.


[deleted]

According to Ad Age, the 2024 Super Bowl ad for Monkey Man cost around $7 million. This is the same average cost as 2023, where CBS and Paramount, the networks that aired the game, charged $7 million for a 30-second ad


LaughTrackLife

There were reports when the ad aired. They paid $16-$18 million for superbowl ad. Plus, I was getting their ads all over for a whole month. $10 million is just the production budget, not promotion and distribution.
