A complaint has been filed against Anurag Kashyap‘s short film in the Netflix anthology Ghost Stories for the distressing scenes. It is one of the first grievances to be registered after the formulation of Information Technology Rules 2021.
The scene in question is one where Sobhita Dhulipala’s character eats a foetus after suffering a miscarriage. According to the complainant, the scene is not required for the story, and if the creators wished to add such a scene, there should have been a trigger warning for women who have gone through the trauma of miscarriages, the complaint said.
Addressing the complaint, Netflix India spokesperson was quoted as saying that the film was a partner-managed production [RSVP Movies and Flying Unicorn Entertainment], therefore, they have reached out to the production company to share the complaint.
The Centre’s new IT rules have been seen by many as an effort to moderate and impose restrictions on digital creators. Kashyap has reacted to the complaint on his Instagram Story. He wrote, “So it has started… A complaint came to Netflix on Ghost Stories. This is the end.” However, his post is no longer visible on his profile.
Ghost Stories, an anthology film was released in January 2020. Besides Kashyap’s short film, it also featured shorts from directors Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee, and Karan Johar. It was a follow-up to the filmmakers’ 2018 anthology Lust Stories.
