Why a dialogue in 'Yeh Hai India' film is creating controversy?

The director Lom Harsh believes that there should be complete freedom to say anything in the cinema. But is it right to talk about another division of the country through a film. In fact these days a dialogue of the film 'Yeh Hai India' is creating controversies. The film director Lom Harsh, producer Sandeep Chaudhary and actor Gavie Chahal addressed the media on these arising controversies.

In the trailer of the film, one dialogue has been objected by not only the people of the country, but also the neighbouring Pakistan. This dialogue of the film is being described as a negative image of Pakistan, with the lack of integrity of the country. There was also a lot of opposition at the time of the partition. Today also many social institutions and others, including artists, social workers and politicians still consider the division as a tragedy. 

In the beginning of the trailer of 'Yeh Hai India', it talks about the conservative views, pollution, population and poverty, but in the next part, it shows the ancient traditions and values of the country. There is one dialogue in the film which talks about law and order, which has to be same for all, if not, and then make a new Pakistan and fire the helpless and poor people.

This part of the trailer is creating the controversies. Is the director raising the demand of a division of the country through this dialogue and presenting a negative image of Pakistan, where Pakistan is a country of helpless and poor people. Along with the country, many social activists of Pakistan and the members of the media are expressing protest through social media platforms on the trailer.

Gavie Chahal and Deana Uppal are in the leads. Other starcast of the film include Mohan Aghasey, Mohan Joshi, Surendra Pal, Antara Banerjee, Vishal Sharma, Jan Bostock, Major Vikramjeet, Ajit Shinde, Ashutosh Kaushik, Kaaramveer Chaudhary, Sadanand Sharma, and Devesh Panwar. 

'Yeh Hai India' has already been a big hit on its world premiere. It had also been screened at Cannes Film Festival, Google and Facebook Headquarters and made Indians proud worldwide. The film has already won best film and best director award at the FOGSV Film Festival, in the US and a special jury mention award at JIFF. After making Indians proud in many countries, 'Yeh Hai India' comes to Indian cinemas on 24th May, 2019.

The movie is in direction of Lom Harsh. Till now his every film has been an award-winning. He is a spectacular director with amazing direction skills. Lom Harsh is an Australian citizen, but his native is in Rajasthan. Till now he has won more than 25 awards and nominations for his films. Last year he has also been honored as Youth Ambassador for Peace by Universal Peace Federation at the Parliament of India, New Delhi.

Lom Harsh said, "Everyone knows about what is going on in the country. We all talk about equality, law and order, however the most questionable is the law and order condition in the country. In the film 'Yeh Hai India' we talk about such things. We tell everyone how rich our history is and today the youth of the country is making the nation proud at the global level, but we have talked about the helpless category of the country without being afraid anyone should have full freedom to speak up. We talk about humanity and love, but today, on a very simple matter, someone kills people with rage. We have presented such topics in the film with a different perspective. We have full confidence that today's youth will talk openly. Our country is great, but if there is something wrong in it, then we should also speak openly on it."

Actor Gavie Chahal said, "I just want to say on this dispute that we have made an honest movie and if you love and respect your country, it is not necessary to praise the country only if anything is wrong then raise the voice against it. It means to put your point without any pressure. I believe that before watching the film, don’t make any opinion on the objection to any dialogue or scene."
