The
Chennai
Regional
Censor
board
has
banned
the
release
of
Sengadal,
a
film
based
on
Sri
Lankan
war
and
problems
faced
by
Tamil
fishermen
in
Indian
ocean.
The
film,
according
to
sources,
speaks
elaborately
on
the
atrocities
of
Sri
Lankan
army
against
the
Eelam
and
Indian
Tamils.
After
watching
the
preview
of
the
film,
the
Board
officials
rejected
to
certify
the
movie,
says
a
source.
The
Board
also
has
reststricted
the
movie
from
screening
and
was
unhappy
with
the
filmmaker's
critical
views
on
Sri
Lankan
govt
and
their
atrocities
over
Tamils.
Leena
Manimekalai,
the
director
has
termed
the
Boards
decision
as
a
double
standards.
It
is
completely
against
the
rights
to
freedom
of
expression.
She
also
said
that
the
movie
is
purely
based
on
the
truths
and
facts
of
Sri
Lanka's
war
against
the
Tamils
and
not
against
the
LTTE.
