'Heart is separate from body' in films… JAAT has crossed all limits, what kind of trend of violence is this in today's cinema?

Send Push

These days, such movies are coming in which the hero and the villain are seen slitting their throats with sharp weapons. There is no count of how many characters were beheaded in Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda's movie Jaat. Recently, many such movies have come in which entertainment has been murdered by showing such scenes of beheading. Where is cinema going?

When Ramesh Sippy brought Sholay fifty years ago in 1975, it was considered the most brutal violent film of that time. There were many debates. Questions like 'Where is Hindi cinema going?' were raised. But even then, on the instructions of the censor board, the director very wisely saved the sentiments in every scene of violence. Blood was not allowed to flow. For example, when Gabbar Singh raises his weapon to cut off both the hands of Thakur and Thakur screams 'Naaaaasss', after that neither the cut hands are shown waving in the air nor Thakur covered in blood. Similarly, when Gabbar points a gun at Thakur's grandson and presses the trigger, after that the engine of a train is shown in the next shot. Neither the shreds of the innocent's body are shown nor the bullet hitting his body.

The way director Ramesh Sippy and writer Salim-Javed saved the sensitivity amidst those cuts, those very cuts made Sholay a classic movie. But by the time Sunny Deol's Jaat came, not just hands and legs, but even human heads were being cut off from their bodies in movies... and no one had any objection to it. After all, where did this trend of violence come from in today's cinema, which is slowly becoming dangerous?

Sunny Deol was presented as a bulldozer

In recent times, South directors are making a lot of action and fighting films with Hindi film actors. Jaat is also in the same series.
