The Worm's Eye

I am highly excited to be able to review this movie. The movie for which we have been waiting for months, hit the theatres on 25th of January. Ever since the announcement of the movie the country has seen many people vehemently protesting and making a scene out of it. Today I went to watch the movie. As expected the movie theatres are housefull. And why shouldn't it be the moviegoers have been waiting for this for quite a long time now and thus the eagerness grew more and more as the release date closed in. How was the movie? Well, to explain this I have divided this post into small segments for better understanding of the movie.

Just because one wants to protect their so called "rights" one cannot disregard the fact that India is not the only country present in this world. But there are 190 approx other countries who are able to see this unne...

On 19th of January the Apex Court rejected the plea seeking urgent hearing on a fresh PIL that sought cancellation of Censor Board’s certificate granted to controversial Bollywood movie  ‘ Padmaavat ’ . The Bench also trashed the contention that the screening of the movie may cause serious threat to life, property and law and order. The Bench refusing the fresh plea of the petitioner stated that “Maintaining law and order is not our job. That is the job of the state. Prayer rejected,". After the Supreme Court's decision to release Padmaavat in theatres across India, the movie has again caught the eyes. The Supreme Court’s stay on the notifications passed by some States prohibiting the exhibition of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ' Padmaavat ' on Thursday was cause for tension in Rajasthan, with the Rajput groups threatening they would not allow its screening. The State government also indicated that it may appeal against the apex court’s ruling. Th...
