Da vinci code Ban-Is it Justifiable?

[deepakraam]

I dunt think so because the film has been approved by the Central Board after scrunity and it carries a certificate stating about the fictious nature of the film.Moreover the film is successfully running in Christain dominated countries.So there is no point of banning the film in India.

The film is banned is banned only in Theaters which in turn boosts the black market for CDs/DVDs for the film.It will be better to revoke the ban and start screening the film

Where did you heard about this banning news ?

The movie was not actually banned, but there was a strong demand to do so. Such bans - instead of suppressing the wrong facts, in fact, attract more people - just because of high curiosity fact. In fact if those opposing it really wish to let people not to watch it - they may just allow the movie to be shown in the normal course - without this free oppose-me-too publicity all excitement would die down and nobody will watch it. In fact if something is banned, people do make it a point to see that - whether through official channels or through illegal/pirated means.

Its not justifiable.It is just a good fiction book and i dont think it is harming feelings of any religion.

 

[ch.anirban]

democracy means freedom of expression... why then a book would be banned??

 

[Shailee]

They're working on the prequel - "Angels & Demons" I think it's called.
It's an exciting book - I thought the movie didn't do justice to it. Nothing to make a big brouhaha about though, it doesn't pretend to be historical, so why give it that much importance anyway?

 

[jigar.mehta]

m also surprised that when was this movie banned???..i have watched it.....but yes there was a strong demand to ban it...

 

[MRK466]

has it relly banned or not???? frnds lot of confusion here.

 

[ramsharma88888]

it is an important book in couple of ways because it makes your preconception and challenge dorma.

creativity should never be curbed,it should be promoted

 

[Yamini911]

the book wasn't banned ... why should the movie go through that... and the vatican couldn't get either of them banned anywhere in the world, not even rome, then why would India be one to part of the whole performance....
