Imphal, August 02 2012:
Churachandpur District Students' Union (CDSU) has strongly deplored the production, tele-casting/broadcasting and marketing of MAMI (THE IMAGE), produced by NONGJA FILM PRODUCTIONS while alleging that "the film directed by Jitendra Ningomba has depicted Churachandpur district as a who(res)le in some scenes" .
"The Union condemns in the strongest term the selling of the obscene films, in which some girls are physically & sexually exploited, much to the chagrin of the local populace of Churachandpur", a press release of CDSU stated.
"What is equally deplorable is that one of the actresses of the film systematically mentioned her make-believe home-town as "Churachandpur" even as some of them wear tribals' traditional shawls, which indeed, is blasphemous to the people of Churachandpur and the land", the statement added.
It also demanded an apology from the Director Jitendra Ningomba to the people of Churachandpur and categorically stated that since it is a case of sell-out the image of Churachandpur, CDSU has been banned the film in the District.
CDSU also appeals all the Film Directors/Producers/Distributors not to shoot any motion picture(s) in Churachandpur district without prior acknowledgment of CDSU in future to avoid possible wedge and misunderstandings between communities in the multi-cultural society of the state.
