The recent remarks made by indian film producer and former Central Board of Film Certification chairman Pahlaj Nihalani on the movie Marco show how quickly the indian film industry is becoming more concerned about the portrayal of violence. He emphasizes that his decision to remove the movie from theaters was greatly influenced by the public's responses to Marco, which included complaining and displaying unease in the theater during its screening.
 
Nihalani said that although the movie was marketed on its action, it failed to leave a positive impact on viewers because the graphic scenes—the ones involving the kids being the worst—were too upsetting to watch. It's interesting that Nihalani compared Marco to Animal, another film that was banned due to its extremely violent nature. "Animal made it big because of stars and kissing love scenes, even though there was a lot of violence," he contended.
 
This offers a more perceptive explanation for why box office runs occur—it's not simply blood and gore. The emotional connection formed by the likable characters and love-related subplots is what truly wins over viewers, even though violence may be a fantastic story element. Filmmakers must consider if their use of graphic material truly connects with viewers or turns them off as they continue to explore this area.
