The release of the trailer for the Netflix film Ghuskhor Pandit has triggered widespread protests across India. Demonstrations have taken place in multiple states, with people expressing outrage over content they claim is offensive. In Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal, the All India Brahmin Society staged protests demanding strict action against the filmmakers. The protestors have specifically targeted director Neeraj Pandey, actors Manoj Bajpayee and Ruchika Shekhar Kapoor, urging authorities to hold them accountable for content allegedly hurting social sentiments. The controversy has sparked a national debate on creative freedom versus social responsibility, drawing attention from political, social, and religious organizations. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, and law enforcement in various regions has been asked to ensure protests remain peaceful. The film’s release on the OTT platform Netflix has intensified the discussion, raising questions about censorship, regulation of digital content, and the impact of provocative media on communal harmony. The investigation into complaints against the makers is reportedly underway.
