Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut has brought attention to the problem of censorship in Indian films, which has caused a huge stir in the movie business. She is now talking about Netflix's new show "IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack," which makes me think about how past events and national feelings are shown on streaming services.

Ranaut, who is known for having strong and sometimes controversial views, recently asked why some content on OTT platforms seems to get around normal filtering while others, especially those that deal with sensitive topics, are closely watched. "Some of us who don't want to take down this country and make films about historical events are the only ones who need to be censored," she said, pointing out what she sees as a bias in how content is controlled.

Following Netflix's announcement of a new show about the terrifying hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight IC 814 in 1999, Ranaut made these statements. Since the show is about a very important and upsetting event in recent Indian history, it is likely to touch on a lot of sensitive and controversial subjects. Ranaut is worried that this kind of content, which she thinks could hurt national feelings, is being shown without enough control.

She was angry and asked, "How are anti-national expressions allowed on OTT?" It's very discouraging and not fair. People are now talking more about how streaming services handle material that has nationalistic or historical themes and how they affect public discourse because of what the actress said.

While this media storm is going on, the people who worked on the movie "Emergency" with Kangana Ranaut are also having trouble with control. The makers of "Emergency," which is also directed by Ranaut, have asked the Bombay High Court for a Censor Certificate so that the movie can be shown without any cuts. The movie, which is about a rough time in Indian history, has had its fair share of problems getting approved by the right authorities.

A lot of people are interested in the court case because it brings up the ongoing conversation about the balance between free speech and national security and sensitivity. The filmmakers say that their work, which is about important political events, should be shown in its fullness to make sure that what they're showing is true.

These two events show that people are becoming more worried about how governing bodies and streaming services handle material that is political or has historical significance. For Ranaut, it seems like a question of principle—making sure that how sensitive topics are portrayed doesn't hurt national pride or misrepresent history.

The fight over censorship is still going on, but it's clear that streaming services like Netflix are becoming big players in the content world, often without going through the usual checks and balances. This change brings up important questions about the rules and standards that should govern these kinds of platforms, especially when it comes to material that could change public opinion or historical debate.

It's clear that the debate about media censorship and freedom of speech is far from over as the court cases and public talks continue. It remains to be seen whether these events will lead to stricter rules or a less strict approach. One thing is for sure: Kangana Ranaut's comments have made a debate that was already very hot even worse.

Stay tuned for more news as these stories develop and as the movie business continues to deal with these tough problems.
