00:00You must have seen the Kashmir 5 film, which has been suppressed for so many years and is being brought out on the basis of stories.

00:10And someone is working hard to bring it out.

00:12The whole ecosystem is affected.

00:16The whole ecosystem is affected.

00:17Some people feel that this film is not right.

00:19Should we make another film?

00:20Who says no?

00:21This is our country's misfortune.

00:24To keep history in the right perspective, at the right time, in front of the society.

00:31In this, the importance of books, the importance of poems, the importance of literature is there.

00:36Similarly, the importance of the film world is also there.

00:40After independence, in front of the world, Mahatma Gandhi...

00:46In reality, the whole world talks about Martin Luther King.

00:52The whole world talks about Nelson Mandela.

00:55But the world talks very little about Gandhi.

01:00If at that time, someone had worked with courage and made a complete film on Mahatma Gandhi's life,

01:07and had kept it in front of the world, then perhaps we would have been able to do the messaging.

01:11For the first time, when a foreigner made a film on Gandhi and got the award,

01:16then the world realized that Gandhi was such a great person.

01:22But some people say a lot about freedom of expression.

01:27But you must have seen, an emergency, such a big incident.

01:32No one was able to make a film.

01:35Because there was a constant struggle to suppress the truth in our country.

01:40Kashmir 5 was made a topic of discussion.

01:45And the people who always roam around with the flag of freedom of expression,

01:52that whole group has been suffering for the last 5-6 days.

01:58And this film, on the basis of facts, on the basis of art,

02:05instead of explaining it,

02:07to discredit it, a big campaign was launched.

02:10You must have seen.

02:11A whole ecosystem.

02:14If someone dares to reveal the truth,

02:18the truth that he found, he tried to present it.

02:22But he is not ready to understand the truth, nor is he ready to accept it.

02:27Nor is he ready for the world to see it.

02:30Such a conspiracy has been going on for the last 5-6 days.

02:35My subject is not a film.

02:39My subject is to bring the truth in its true form to the country,

02:46for the good of the country.

02:52There are many aspects to it.

02:56Some see one thing, some see another.

03:00Those who think that this film is not good, should make another film.

03:03Who says no?

03:06But they are surprised that the truth that has been suppressed for so many years,

03:11is being brought out on the basis of facts.

03:14And someone is working hard to bring it out.

03:16He has become a part of the whole ecosystem.

03:22And those who live for the truth,

03:25it is their responsibility to stand up for the truth.

03:31And I hope everyone will fulfill this responsibility.
