On Tuesday, Film Director Karan Johar had an contrary opinion of the Censor Board’s move to give certificate to item or special movie songs,while uttering it to be an unfair step.

Moreover, Central Board of Film Certification or Censor Board has said it will examine dance numbers to see whether they are suitable for U, UA, or A certificate.

In fact, the decision comes in an arouse of views expressed in certain quarters that item numbers have obscene content and portray women in a bad perspective.

Karan says he is not in agreement with the Censor Board and they are responsible filmmakers and they look into  the fact of entertaining audience while he felt there is a need for stricter rules and regulations to check on crime against women.

He added on that instead of this step there is a need to go to grassroots level and check on crime against women.

Moreover, there is need for proper rules, regulations and laws rather than just single out film fraternity when it's only intended towards entertaining that we they do through music.

There are  nautanki (sensual dance), folk music and songs and they never created the term ‘item song’ which was created by the media while he stresses that there are some talented actresses around and they dance on special songs. Even though there is sensuality to some of the songs it depends on how a person looks at them. He concludes expressing that he  feels it to be an unfair step.

Perhaps if we get into the reality of the fact art and creative talents shouldn’t be seen as a sign of vulgarity then perhaps we have to demolish all ancient monuments depicting intense romantic posture through it's art and dance form likewise delete all those legendary music records created by the stars of yesterday.

Let us be the change we want to see, let us change our perspective of thinking rather than playing this blame game!
