The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) halted the release of Malayalam film Janaki vs State of Kerala, insisting the character’s name be changed. Why? Because Janaki is another name for the Hindu goddess Sita and a survivor shouldn’t carry a divine name according to the board.
But this is not an isolated incident. From Punjab 95, to Santosh, Nasir, and Sitaare Zameen Par, a disturbing pattern is emerging: films that challenge caste, state power, or religious ideas are being stalled or sliced up.
In this episode of Let Me Explain, we look at how the Central Board of Film Certification is quietly censoring the truth. It’s not just films under the knife — it’s freedom of expression.
