Bollywood debutant director Tamhane of the national award winning film `Court` says he prefers that his scenes be muted instead of being cut by the Censor Board. Apparently, the director declined to edit the movie which has freedom of expression as a key theme.  Moreover, the film is going to hit theaters on April 17.  One mute pertains to usage of a commonly-used phrase, the second is an entire sentence. The flow of the narrative employing four languages–Marathi, Gujarati, English and Hindi–does not get compromised through the actions. Significantly, its premiere at the prestigious Venice Film Festival in September 2014 won 18 international awards, including the Lion of the Future Award for the best first feature at the Italian festival. The film revolves around a case of abetment of suicide filed against a `Lok Shahir` or a ballad singer in a lower court in Mumbai under the controversial UAPA (the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act). The action against activist ballad singers from the Kabir Kala Manch on allegations of links with the Left wing extremists inspired the narrative. Tamhane touches on various facets, including the way lower courts function, the people who make the system and also makes a strong commentary on contemporary social issues like conditions of sanitary workers and the undying spirit of the activist-ballad singer. Vivek Gomber, who also plays a major role of a lawyer specializing in human right violations in the film, has opted to be the producer.
