    Jail: A Stiff Sentence
    Madhur Bhandarkar has made a name for himself as a realist filmmaker (this and that he has won 3 national awards always precede a piece on him).

    Don’t Blame the Censors, Blame the Greedy Filmmaker!
    The Indian Censor Board has come a long way, a far cry from the group of butchers that it was in the 90s. While an idealist argument can be made that censorship has no place in a true democracy, a regulatory body is necessary in all cinema to make the audience aware of the nature of a film’s content, especially in India where movies are often a family experience.
