Fight like Sita but don't use her name: Why Janaki makes censor board uncomfortable?
A Malayalam film has ruffled feathers with the censor board in Mumbai after naming its protagonist 'Janaki'. While the film was certified by the regional board in Kerala, its release has been halted following CBFC's (Central Board for Film Certification) objection to the character's name - citing that it refers to Goddess Sita, who is deeply revered as the ideal wife in the epic incident draws an immediate parallel with the censor board passing the 2001 Bollywood film, which starred the biggest names in the Hindi film industry and featured not one, but four characters named after Goddess Sita. 'Lajja', directed and written by Rajkumar Santoshi, wasn't a box office success but gradually became known for using cinema as a tool to highlight women's rights and the systemic oppression they then, 'Lajja' was certified U/A, despite featuring brutal scenes of violence and sexual assault. Its four leading women - Manisha Koirala, Madhuri Dixit, Mahima Chaudhary and Rekha - were all named after Sita, and told stories of individual trauma at the hands of a society that ironically worships Goddesses like Sita and Durga for their resilience, virtue and power. The film's narrative follows Vaidehi (Koirala), a pregnant domestic violence survivor, who escapes her abusive husband. During her journey to self-discovery, she meets other women - each fighting their own battle in a patriarchal character, Maithili, raises her voice against dowry. Dixit's Janki confronts the society that forced the Goddess herself to undergo the humiliation of Agni Pariksha - to prove her purity, even after enduring captivity and harassment under Ravana. Rekha's character, Ramdulari, is a Dalit woman who is gang-raped and murdered. 'Lajja' was a haunting portrayal of female persecution and a symbolic tribute to the Goddess who herself had to prove her honour to the world in front of her in 'Janaki vs State of Kerala', the film currently denied certification - the protagonist is a woman fighting a legal battle after being assaulted. Malayalam director B Unnikrishnan revealed on June 23 that the board demanded a name change, saying, "The story is about the legal fight carried out by an assaulted woman against the state. It is said (by the board) that Goddess Sita's name cannot be given to the woman character who suffered assault."But, isn't Janaki the most appropriate, even symbolically brilliant, name for a woman who's fighting back? Goddess Sita, too, resisted - mentally, emotionally and spiritually - when abducted. Yes, the scriptures say Ravana never touched her. But did the emotional torment, the psychological captivity, not amount to assault?advertisement As described in Valmiki's Ramayana, she used a blade of grass as a symbolic barrier to rebuke Ravana's advances. She endured duress for years, fending off his pressure, alone in a foreign Sanskrit scholar, Hara Prasad Shastri, in his English translation of the Ramayana, wrote: "With his left hand he (Ravana) grasped the hair of the lotus-eyed Sita, and with his right hand, he grasped her thighs. Then, suddenly, the great chariot belonging to Ravana appeared, and addressing Sita in harsh tones, he lifted her up and, clasping her, ascended the car (sic)."There she was. Forcibly abducted and held against her later, a film shows another Janaki - this one, too, a survivor fighting back. But, a panel of censor board officials - whose role is to certify a film, not to dictate creative choices - decides that a woman who has been assaulted cannot carry the name of a Goddess who herself was subjected to trauma, humiliation and there's a name that suits such a character, it is Sita. And if there's any hypocrisy louder than silence, it is this: worshipping a Goddess for her grace under fire - while denying the same grace to a woman who dares to reclaim her a film merely using that name as a symbol for artistic expression becomes the victim today, maybe the fight for justice and dignity that Goddess Sita stood for... still continues.- Ends

In fact, he recalls going to his parents and asking, 'Papa, how much am I getting paid?' He had no idea about it and was kept away from it for the longest time. He was told to focus on his work.

He believes Aamir, as the filmmaker, made decisions with the audience's enjoyment in mind. Darsheel expressed contentment with not being part of the sequel and feels fortunate to be part of the legacy of 'Taare Zameen Par.'

Throwback: When actor Srikanth refused to acknowledge his marriage to wife Vandana, here's why
Srikanth is known for making his appearances in South films, having been a recognizable face in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam cinema. As Srikanth is making headlines with his ongoing police case, the actor once hit the news for a different reason. Vandana Srikanth's alleged legal cases As per reports, Srikanth and his wife, Vandana, were rumored to tie the wedding knot back in 2007. While his parents initially approved of their relationship, they later called off the marriage after finding out Vandana and his parents were arrested for a few legal cases. The cases stemmed from a land dispute argument, which led to the legal proceedings. While Srikanth's parents opposed the marriage, the actor went ahead and registered his marriage with Vandana. While it is mentioned that Srikanth registered his marriage in hopes of convincing his parents, to everyone's shock, the Nanban actor refused to acknowledge his marriage later. According to a report by Times Now, the actor said, 'Our marriage was never consummated. I went in for a registered marriage as I loved her and was hopeful of convincing my parents.' 'Soon after we announced our formal wedding date, I learnt that Vandana was jailed for an offence and that the passports of her parents were impounded for their involvement in criminal cases,' he added. Later on, Srikanth revealed that Vandana had shown up at his house with tough-looking henchmen. Fearing for his and his ageing parents' lives, he was supposedly forced to abandon his house, even seeking police protection at the time. With multiple allegations made at that time, Srikanth and his wife, Vandana, later patched up. Following legal intervention and counselling, both continued their relationship. And now, years later, Srikanth and Vandana are still married and are parents to two children. Srikanth's last film? Coming to Srikanth's work front, the actor was last seen in a lead role in the film Konjam Kadhal Konjam Modhal. The romantic comedy was written and directed by K Rangaraj. The movie focused on a couple's perception of wealth in a relationship, only to change their mindset after witnessing the profound love shared by an old couple. With Pujita Ponnada playing the female lead, the movie was received with mixed reviews upon release.
