There are frequently protests on screening of certain movies by certain sections of society even though the Censor Board has cleared them. Is this not a sort of anarchy or lawlessness. What is the significance of Censor Board certificate in this scenario?

Its due to an overdose of secularism. Yes, its nothing short of anarchism.

The move for ban on the movie is cultural terrorism, which must go. Says Kamal Hassan. :

I think they do it intentionally to gain free publicity. They make it popular by way of making it controversial as I have yet to see a movie banned for ever.

Many movies have been banned in the past simply because politicians saw red at the way they were portrayed...But such things only generate more curiosity and interest and movies, even the mediocre ones go on to become hits..

That is possible when the producers might have agreed to cut some of the controversial shots.

Now in Tamil Nadu, we have protest against the film 'Kadal' directed by Maniratnam. Besides, Hindu movement needs to watch the film 'Aadhi bagavan' before its release. I do onot know what is happening here. Directors and producers should think well before they get into any project.

It is no use thinking. There is no artistic freedom. whatever you make, some group may object. When censor Board okay a movie, any objections by various groups should not be given weightage.
