Dangal is rated as one of the best sports movies of all time in Indian cinema. The movie is based on the real life of Mahavir Singh Phogat, a wrestler from Haryana who trained his two daughters – Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari – to become champion wrestlers.

Director Kamal who is also the chairman of the Kerala State Chalachithra Academy was in the news for the issues surrounding national anthem being played in theatres. Protests were sparked against him alleging that he showed disrespect towards the national anthem.

“Chalachithra Academy presided by Kamal sir was instrumental in playing the national anthem before screenings during the film festival. He complied with the Supreme Court’s order and also made arrangements like voice overs and scrolls written in English and Malayalam asking the deleagtes to stand up during the national anthem.

People are protesting against Kamal as an individual, because of his religion. Will be supporting and standing by him to ensure all his rights as a common citizen.”

The 21st International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) was held in Thiruvananthapuram from December 9-16. During the screening of the movie Clash on December 12, six delegates were arrested for showing dissent towards the national anthem by not standing up. This triggered a big controversy among people who had diverse opinions about the new directive by the Supreme Court.

The director was soon labelled as an anti national and Yuva Morcha activists staged protests in front of his residence alleging that he supported the arrested delegates. The activists raised slogans against Kamal and even burned his effigy.

As a mark of showing their protest, they even sang the national anthem in front of his house. The groups called out Kamal as a Muslim, Kamaluddin, and an anti-national. They asked him to go to Pakistan if he cannot respect the national anthem.

National anthem in theatres should not be opposed : Mohanlal

The Supreme Court’s directive to make national anthem compulsory in theatres was received with mixed response. Several film personalities from across the country expressed their opinions.

Recently, Mohanlal in an interview to a news channel supported the decision to play national anthem in theatres.

Mohanlal was of the opinion that playing national anthem in theatres is a very good decision and it should not be opposed. He said, “Cinema is an art form which also needs to be respected. Playing national anthem in theatres was there in our childhood also. There should not be any unwanted controversy surrounding it.”

Ever since the Supreme Court’s decision was announced there have been debates in many social media forums over it. Many people were of the opinion that making national anthem compulsory in theatres is an indication of forced patriotism.

They claimed that cinema hall is primarily a place for entertainment where people come to relax and unwind themselves.

Another section of people supported the apex court’s decision claiming that it will instill a sense of nationality and oneness among the citizens of the country.

The issue was ignited when a group of delegates were arrested for not standing up during the national anthem in the 21st IFFK held in Thiruvananthapuram. The police arrested six deleagtes for allegedly showing disrespect and contempt towards the national anthem.

When the Chairman of Chalachithra Academy, veteran director Kamal questioned the police’s act of arresting the delegates by entering the cinema halls without informing the organizers, protests were triggered against him by some groups. The Yuva Morcha activists protested in front of the director’s house and asked him to go to Pakistan.

Earlier, Mohanlal received a lot of flak for supporting the union government’s demonetisation move through his blog. The actor received severe criticism from netizens, politicians and even some celebrities for commenting on the issue without showing empathy towards people affected by it.

Earlier this year he acted in two Telugu movies – Vismayam and Janatha Garage, in which the latter had him playing a the lead role alongside Jr NTR.

Janatha Garage was a massive blockbuster entering the 100 crore club. The movie directed by Kortala Siva is the highest grossing Telugu movie for the year 2016. His recent blockbuster Pulimurugan, another 100 crore club movie, was dubbed and released in Telugu as Manyam Puli.
