#NANAK SHAH FAKIR MOVIE AARTI MOVIE#
In 2015, the producers of the film had decided to withdraw the movie from cinema halls across the country and other parts of the world after protests from religious Sikh groups.Ī month ago, the producers again announced the movie's release for April 13 after which various Sikh outfits started raising objections seeking a ban on the grounds that depiction of Sikh gurus and other historic Sikh figures in films is considered blasphemous. Petitioner Sikka, a retired Naval officer and the film's producer, had approached the apex court claiming that the SGPC had recently banned the release of the movie, which is based on the life and teachings Guru Nanak Dev, even after the CBFC cleared it on March 28. On April 10, the Supreme Court had criticised SGPC, for imposing restrictions on the film 'Nanak Shah Fakir' and cleared the decks for its nationwide release on April 13. The SGPC, the apex religious body of Sikhs, had appealed members of the community to wear black turbans today as a mark of protest. Gyani Gurbachan Singh, Jathedar of the Takht had yesterday announced the decision to ex-communicate Sikka from the Sikh Panth. In Haryana, Sikhs protested against the movie at several places, including Sirsa, Karnal, Yamunanagar and Kurukshetra. Protest against the movie was also staged at Ferozepur. There were also reports of protests by Sikhs in Jalandhar where a group burnt an effigy of the film's producer Harinder Sikka. Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) run local education institutes remained closed today to protest against the movie. The Takht had imposed a ban on the release of "Nanak Shah Fakir", after it contended that showing Sikh gurus in living form cannot be permitted. The protest is not for harassing anybody, they said. The protesters said the Jathedar of the Akal Takht - the supreme temporal seat of Sikhs - had already appealed to the community to boycott the film and stage peaceful protests. Reaction as I watched the film: Dark complexion hand is shown in the very beginning Guru Nanak’s voice is an issue Mardana is uninspiring Mardana’s first meeting the producer, who is also the dialogue writer, needs to check historicity Costumes and sets are nice Modi-Khana Guru Nanak actually leaves the job immediately after. The blockade was lifted following the intervention of the Government Railway Police (GRP) and the local police. The Supreme court cleared the film for release, citing the certification provided by India's Central Board for Film Certification.In Punjab's Fatehgarh Sahib, protesters stopped a goods train for around 20 minutes, Railway officials said. The film producers Resul Pookutty and Gurbani Media also appealed to the Supreme Court of India to allow for the release of the film. The Government of Punjab decided against allowing the release of the film. A related resolution adopted by the SGPC in 2003 had prohibited human actors from playing the roles of Sikh Gurus or their family members. The supreme Sikh body, Akal Takht announced a ban on the film, as it was claimed to depict Guru Nanak and other prominent Sikh figures (Bebe Nanaki, Bhai Mardana) through human actors, which it said violated Sikh tenets.
