Some time back, there was news that a small time Telugu film called Saranam Gacchami has been denied a censor certificate by the board for carrying some highly sensitive caste based issues in the film.
Things became quite serious when a Dalit group stormed into the premises of the censor board office in Hyderabad and created ruckus all over. The unruly mob broke all the furniture and were seen demanding an immediate certification of their film which has been held back for the last two months.
This is the first time the censor board has refused to grant certification to a Telugu film. Saranam Gacchami is the story of a student who picks reservations as his Ph.D. topic. While carrying out his research he finds out that how only a few members of the weaker class enjoy quota benefits, while a vast majority continue to misuse it.
The film has some harsh dialogues referring to the sensitive issue of caste and that is the reason the film has been put on hold. Let’s hope this issue be solved at the earliest and the film releases soon.
