What is freedom of speech? Is it a licence to speak whatever you want to speak as long as it is overtly or covertly against the BJP or its allies? The film Udta Punjab is based on half truth. It simply gives the impression that the problem of drug is confined to Punjab and is due to the failure of the Punjab Government. Half truth is more dangerous than lies. It is definitely going to harm the ruling party in Punjab. Anurag should have focused on other places too such as Delhi.
You can start from here, i.e. educating yourself:

Awesome! Exactly the moment I was waiting for. Looks like they released the movie to you. Please send me the copy as well. I would like to form the opinion right after watching it.

Freedom of speech means to be able to speak your mind disregarding what others may perceive about you ... be it the Govt , religious or any community.
Most of the movies are less than half truths ... no body censors or bans them.
I am sure no one claims that Udta Punjab is based on a true story. Please let us know if that is the case.
Why should Anurag be focussed on Delhi or Mumbai and not Punjab ? Is that not a choice he has to make under his freedom of thought and expression. ?
In the end the public is smarter and will figure out whether the movie depicts half truth or more than that ...Why is the censor board taking the decision on their behalf and that too under political inspirations / influence ??

I think we all should thank Nihalani for the furor that the Punjab's drug problem has come to the forefront, and in a big way. Whether or not the movie highlights the one.
Having my relatives and roots in Punjab (and of-course Delhi), it feels a great pain to see the youths that are reeling under the menace, while the Govt has been mostly sitting on their arses.
Nihalani and the BJP/Akali Govts hit a self-goal with this fiasco.

Agree on this one - the last sentence.
It might be bad for the ruling government, however it has brought the issue into limelight and such a focus could help resolve the issue better. We need to be thankful to Nihalani for that, even though he looked an idiot.
On another note - what are AAP's plan to resolve drug issue?

hey guys,
lets vote together to appoint AK as a new role for Film Critics and Reviewers or appoint him as a head of the Central Board of Film Certification of India so at least he can become busy to do the job instead of criticise each and every step by BJP or NaMo...
LOL...I am remembering right now Sholay dialogue...
