Any
Aamir
Khan
film
always
comes
with
its
share
of
controversies.
While
during
the
release
of
Fanaa,
it
was
Aamir's
comments
on
the
Narmada
controversy
which
led
to
the
film
being
banned
in
Gujarat.
During
Rang
De
Basanti,
some
animal
rights
activists
had
protested
against
certain
portions
of
the
title
song
while
during
Taare
Zameen
Par,
his
comments
on
Amitabh
Bachchan
starrer
Black
led
to
a
cold
war
between
the
duo.
More
recently
during
3
Idiots,
the
whole
Chetan
Bhagat
controversy,
over
who
should
claim
credit
for
the
story,
came
to
the
forefront.
Now
even
Aamir's
latest
home
production
Peepli
Live
is
in
the
storm
of
a
few
controversies.
Like
we
had
earlier
reported,
a
few
farmers'
families
in
Vidarbha
have
been
demanding
a
ban
on
the
film
for
not
depicting
the
farmers'
plight
in
a
correct
way.
Besides
this,
a
hand
pump
being
referred
to
as
Lal
Bahadur
(an
obvious
reference
to
our
late
Prime
Minister
Lal
Bahadur
Shastri)
has
also
not
gone
down
well
with
two
advisory
panel
members
of
the
CBFC
taking
objection.
In
addition
to
these,
some
members
of
the
media
have
not
liked
the
way
their
fraternity
has
been
portrayed
in
the
film.
While
the
film
continues
its
dream
run
at
the
Box
Office
despite
these
controversies,
we
would
like
to
know
from
you
-
the
janta
janardhan
-
if
the
film
has
indeed
not
depicted
the
plight
of
farmers
in
rural
India
in
the
correct
way
and
deserves
to
be
banned?
Or
does
the
film
rightly
depict
the
real
situation
of
rural
India?
