Responding to the recent concerns raised by several groups and organizations over the depiction of their caste, religion, profession and region, Regional Censor Board has imposed new rules for movies. Recently, Dalit leaders raised an issue about Kantri and Kuchipudi dancers made objections over Sunil’s character in Ready.
The new rules include…
Visuals and dialogues, which may directly and indirectly hint at a particular caste, religion, region, profession, etc be scrupulously avoided Should refrain from using words like “Kuntoda, Guddoda, Chevitoda, Mugoda, Natti.”
Words like “Nee yamma, Nee Abba, Naa Koduka, Donganakoduka, Dobbeyyyadam, Thokkallo, etc may be removed.
Lampooning or portraying or making mockery of their caste/religious status must be avoided. Should refrain from showing physically challenged people as villains and comedians.
Names of characters indicating the caste/religious status should not be used. Dialect and accent of a particular region may not be used in depicting villains/comedians.
Professions like Police, Medical, Teaching should not be shown in a poor light as they would demoralize the respective professions.
Extra care should be taken not to film violent scenes and objectionable scenes in places of worship. The sanctity of the place of worship should be kept in mind.
