Renowned Indian filmmaker Suparn S. Varma is speaking out in support of his fellow director Aditya Dhar's latest film, Dhurandhar, which has faced criticism for its graphic violence. Varma argues that Indian filmmakers should be given the freedom to create their art without being judged based on Western standards. He cites international films like Brian De Palma's Scarface and Martin Scorsese's works as examples of how violence can be a powerful storytelling tool. Varma believes that the Indian audience is often biased towards Western cinema, expecting Indian films to conform to certain expectations. He suggests that this mindset is unhealthy and can stifle creativity. Instead, he advocates for giving Indian films a chance and respecting the director's vision. Dhurandhar's trailer features a graphic scene with Arjun Rampal's character, which sparked criticism from netizens. However, Varma argues that the film's depiction of violence is a reflection of the real world, where countries like North and South Korea are at war. He believes that ignoring these themes in cinema is not an option. Varma's comments come amidst a growing debate about the representation of violence in Indian films. His message is clear: Indian filmmakers deserve respect and support for their work, regardless of their style or genre. By giving them the freedom to create, we can celebrate the diversity of Indian cinema and encourage innovative storytelling.
