Is Parasakthi Sivakarthikeyan based on true story?
No. There’s nothing official saying Parasakthi is based on a true story. People are assuming because the film feels grounded and serious. That’s it. Tamil movies do this a lot — they take real-world emotions, mix them into fiction, and suddenly everyone thinks it’s based on real incidents. If it wasRead more
No. There’s nothing official saying Parasakthi is based on a true story. People are assuming because the film feels grounded and serious. That’s it. Tamil movies do this a lot — they take real-world emotions, mix them into fiction, and suddenly everyone thinks it’s based on real incidents.
If it was actually a true story or inspired by a real person, the team would’ve said it by now. They usually do, because that helps marketing. Since they haven’t, it’s safe to say it’s fictional. Realistic tone ≠ true story. People mix that up all the time.
See lessWhy are political dialogues removed from Tamil movies?
Because political dialogues make people nervous. A fight scene is seen as fiction. A political line is seen as influence. If a dialogue sounds like criticism of power, government, or systems, it’s treated as risky. Even indirect references can be enough. The logic is always public order. Avoid proteRead more
Because political dialogues make people nervous. A fight scene is seen as fiction. A political line is seen as influence. If a dialogue sounds like criticism of power, government, or systems, it’s treated as risky. Even indirect references can be enough.
The logic is always public order. Avoid protests, cases, and noise. Removing one line is easier than managing backlash after release.
Tamil cinema has a history of speaking openly. That’s exactly why these clashes happen more here. Entertainment is fine. Questioning politics is where the trouble starts.
See lessAre OTT Tamil movies also censored like theatre releases?
Not in the same way, but yes, there is control. OTT platforms don’t go through CBFC certification like theatres. They follow self-regulation rules. But that doesn’t mean total freedom. Platforms still cut or edit content if they feel it’ll cause backlash or legal trouble. Sometimes filmmakers are asRead more
Not in the same way, but yes, there is control. OTT platforms don’t go through CBFC certification like theatres. They follow self-regulation rules. But that doesn’t mean total freedom.
Platforms still cut or edit content if they feel it’ll cause backlash or legal trouble. Sometimes filmmakers are asked to tone things down even before release.
Also, pressure exists. Complaints, notices, political noise — OTT companies don’t want problems either. So they play safe.
See lessSo technically, OTT has more freedom. Practically, it’s shrinking. Just slower, quieter, and less visible than theatre censorship.
Who decides what is offensive in Tamil cinema?
The committees under the Central Board of Film Certification. They follow guidelines, supposedly. But it actually depends on timing, politics, who complains, and how loud social media gets. Something that passes today might be cut next month. There’s no fixed definition of offensive. Often it’s lessRead more
The committees under the Central Board of Film Certification. They follow guidelines, supposedly. But it actually depends on timing, politics, who complains, and how loud social media gets.
Something that passes today might be cut next month. There’s no fixed definition of offensive.
Often it’s less about actual harm and more about avoiding trouble. If someone might get offended and create noise, it’s safer to cut first. That’s how decisions are really made.
See lessCan CBFC force changes after a movie trailer is already released?
Yes. Trailer release doesn’t really protect anything. A trailer is just promotion but certification is separate. So even if the trailer is out, CBFC can still ask for cuts in the final film. It happens more often than people think. Sometimes the trailer itself causes trouble. People notice a line, cRead more
Yes. Trailer release doesn’t really protect anything. A trailer is just promotion but certification is separate. So even if the trailer is out, CBFC can still ask for cuts in the final film. It happens more often than people think.
Sometimes the trailer itself causes trouble. People notice a line, complain, screenshots spread, and then the board steps in. After that, filmmakers are told to mute or change things before certification.
Legally, it’s allowed. But practically, it’s tough on directors after spending so much money on making the film.
See lessWhat is jana nayagan's issue?
From what people are saying online, Jaga Nayagan didn’t have any shocking scenes. No extreme violence. No vulgar stuff. The issue seems to be some dialogues. Political in tone. Or at least sounding like they are pointing at real things happening around us. That’s enough these days. CBFC apparently aRead more
From what people are saying online, Jaga Nayagan didn’t have any shocking scenes. No extreme violence. No vulgar stuff.
The issue seems to be some dialogues. Political in tone. Or at least sounding like they are pointing at real things happening around us. That’s enough these days.
CBFC apparently asked for changes because those lines could cause controversy. That’s the usual reason. What annoys people is this pattern. Smaller or less “safe” films get pulled up faster. Big star films somehow manage. So yeah, it feels less about rules and more about who can afford trouble.
See lessWhat is this censorship issue going on in tamil movies?
It’s mostly about dialogues. That’s it. Recent Tamil movies are getting stuck because some lines sound political or critical. Not abusive, not violent. Just uncomfortable for people in power. Fight scenes pass easily. But one sharp line about systems or authority is considered “sensitive content”. TRead more
It’s mostly about dialogues. That’s it. Recent Tamil movies are getting stuck because some lines sound political or critical. Not abusive, not violent. Just uncomfortable for people in power.
Fight scenes pass easily. But one sharp line about systems or authority is considered “sensitive content”. The Central Board of Film Certification says it’s about law and order. Filmmakers say it’s fear-based.
See lessThe real problem is confusion. Same type of dialogue passes in one film, gets cut in another. No clear rule. Feels random. That’s why people are irritated, not just angry.
