Soon There Won’t Be Anti-Smoking Disclaimers In Films?
| |||||
Thursday, 9th April 2015, 3:15 PM IST The anti-smoking disclaimers have been a subject of debate since a long time. But, it looks like soon the anti-smoking disclaimers will go away from the films. Well, this might happen because of our government who claims that there is no definitive proof of cancer being caused due to tobacco consumption. If sources are to be believed, the government is planning to scrap off the disclaimers from the film. Talking about it, the Chairperson of the CBFC Pahlaj Nihlani, "As a filmmaker I know how painful it is to have anti-smoking videos inserted in the beginning and middle of your film. The first shot of the film establishes a rapport with the audience. Likewise just after interval you need to capture your audiences' attention after they've gone out of the theatre to refresh themselves. When you take away the film from the director at those two crucial points of the story (the beginning and middle) you are essentially robbing him of his creative rights. That isn't fair especially when you are not a smoker. Why should you have your film and the audiences' mood spoilt? The anti-smoking disclaimers should go."
