Vishal Bhardwaj defends strong language in O’Romeo: Why should it be beeped at?
At the trailer launch of hey romeoFilmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj strongly addressed the debate surrounding strong language and violence in cinema, and said that the core of his film is deeply romantic. “Actually, it is a love story,” Bhardwaj said, describing the film as a one-sided romance set against a violent backdrop. “At its DNA, it’s a love story – the love story of Ustara.”
Responding to concerns about abusive language and aggression, Bhardwaj argued against sanitizing reality for the screen. He emphasized that muting conversations with constant “beep-beep” censorship reduces authenticity. According to him, society often displays double standards – readily accepting misbehavior and aggression in everyday life but holding cinema responsible for moral degradation.
Bhardwaj rejected this notion, saying, “Cinema is held responsible for every bad thing.” He rejected the notion that only films had the power to corrupt or reform the audience. “Cinema will spoil you, cinema will improve you – none of that is true,” he said, adding that films simply reflect society as it exists.
For Bhardwaj, hey romeo This is not an exercise in provocation but an honest depiction of emotion and atmosphere. “In my view, cinema is a mirror,” he concluded, “it shows you who you are.”
