Singapore has banned the film “The Kashmir Files” because of its “one-sided” representation of Muslims.

The Bollywood film ‘The Kashmir Files’ has been banned in Singapore because it is “outside” the city-cinema state’s classification criteria. According to sources, Singaporean authorities denied the Hindi-language film classification due to “its aggressive and one-sided portrayal of Muslims and images of Hindus being persecuted in the on-going strife in Kashmir.”

‘The Kashmir Files,’ which has been screening in India since March, is based on the terrorism-related exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Muslim-majority Valley in the 1990s.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY), and the Ministry of Home Affairs made a joint statement in Singapore (MHA).

They said that the film’s depictions “had the potential to generate hostility amongst different communities, as well as destroy social cohesiveness and religious harmony in our multiracial and multi-religious society.”

“Any material that is insulting to racial or religious communities in Singapore” will be refused classification, according to the film classification criteria.

Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, and Pallavi Joshi feature in the Vivek Agnihotri-directed film.

The ruling party in India has praised the film, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah praising the performances and subject. In most BJP-ruled states, the film has been declared tax-free.

When Janhvi Kapoor was twelve or thirteen years old, she claims the media “sexualized” her.

Janhvi Kapoor is getting ready for the sporting drama Mr. and Mrs. Mahi’s premiere. The actor was featured in a new interview with producer Karan Johar and co-star Rajkummar Rao, which was posted on Dharma Productions’ official YouTube channel. Janhvi talked candidly about being “sexualized” from a young age.

What Janhvi mentioned

Janhvi responded, “I feel like this is also an aspect that I have been navigating for a long time,” when Karan questioned her about how she felt about the ongoing objectification she deals with. I believe the first time I experienced media sexualization was when I was between the ages of 12 and 13. My parents and I went to an event. I was featured in photos and social media was just getting started. When I discovered my photos on what appeared to be a pornographic website, the boys at my school just stared and laughed.

“There’s a character assassination of sorts.”

She went on, “I have been navigating it for a very long time, and it is a very weird thing to do.” I need to move past the fact that I feel like I apologise a lot for my origins. Other people, I’m sure, handle it in far more varied ways. I continue to believe that my explanation of it and my personal experiences are extremely privileged. However, it was difficult. When a girl wears clothing that suggests she is at ease with her sexuality, she is subject to a form of character assassination.

Janhvi plays a doctor who loves cricket in the film Mr and Mrs Mahi. Rajkummar, who plays her husband, trains her to be a cricket player. Directed by Sharan Sharma, the movie opened in theatres on May 31.
