MUMBAI : Similar arguments have previously been raised against Anubhav Sinha, whose most recent web series IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack caused controversy after some viewers claimed the Netflix program purposefully distorted the religious identity of the five terrorists who hijacked an Indian Airlines flight in 1999. The certification process was difficult and drawn out at the time his films Bheed (2023), Mulk (2018), and Article 15 (2019) were released. The majority of his films required lengthy talks and a number of adjustments before receiving a clearance certificate.
Speaking about CBFC interfering in his projects, Anubhav said, “If it is a Utopian question then everything should be made and released, but there is a law of the land and if the law of the land tells me if you don’t do this, you can’t release your film, I will have to follow the law of the land. Now, I can’t have cerebral utopian conversation about it. CBFC is the law of the land. It tells me, ‘Anubhav, if you want to release your film, you have to delete this,’ I have to delete this. As simple as that.”
Adding that it affected the creativity of the project he said, “It is a compromise with the creativity of a film, it’s not what if. It is. But, it is the law of the land.”
Speaking of his film Bheed not living up to expectations, he said, “It breaks your heart, it breaks your backbone. You lose confidence. You almost get encouraged not to make a film again. But then something else convinces you enough to do it again and then you look back and say, ‘No, it’s not a big deal, it’s okay.”

Anubhav concluded, “I had three back-to-back hits and then I had two films that didn’t work and those were also strange times and I was making a dark film on Corona tragedy, and in black-and-white, it didn’t work. It’s okay. As long as you are not ashamed of your film, as long as people who participated with you in that film are not ashamed, you take it in a stride. When you read or write history, you turn a page, and you have gone past a decade in the history of filmmaking, so don’t take yourself that seriously.”
