Why is there a controversy around a film that simply tells the truth? Why does Bollywood, the world’s largest film industry, consistently erase the stories of Dalits, OBCs, and Adivasis from its screens? In this episode, Hemant takes you through the recent controversy surrounding the film Phule, a cinematic portrayal of the revolutionary reformers Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule. The film, originally set to release on April 11—Phule Jayanti—faced censorship and pushback due to scenes that depict the harsh realities of caste discrimination. But this isn’t just about one film. This is about Bollywood’s long-standing Brahminical structure that has historically sidelined marginalized voices.
