Dhruv Rathee Criticizes Vivek Agnihotri for Showing “The Bengal Files” to Children
Activist and commentator Dhruv Rathee has publicly criticized filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri for allowing children to view his film, “The Bengal Files.” The movie, which carries an ‘A’ certificate in India, is strictly intended for adult audiences (18+).
“The Bengal Files”: An Adults-Only Film
Rathee expressed his strong disapproval, labeling the act a ‘crime’ given the film’s mature themes and content unsuitable for young viewers. “The Bengal Files” received an ‘A’ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification, signifying its adult nature.
Why the Concern Over Underage Viewing?
The controversy highlights the importance of adhering to age restrictions for films. Exposing children to content beyond their developmental capacity can be harmful. The incident raises questions about responsible viewing practices and the potential impact of violent or disturbing content on young minds.
