Actor and filmmaker Nandita Das says necessary to counter propaganda, while banning a film is not

The society has a collective responsibility to counter propaganda films, filmmaker and actor Nandita Das has said, and added that she is against banning films as she believes in the freedom of expression.

“There is already a censor board in which a few people arbitrarily judge your films and what is right for one person is not the same for the other. What is required is to create a discerning audience which is a collective responsibility,” she said.

Speaking on ‘Can Art Create Change?’ at the Global Science Festival Kerala (GSFK) here on Sunday, she said that art can change the way humans react to situations, but art doesn’t always create a positive impact.
