Gurpreet Ghuggi Criticizes Bollywood for Embracing Nudity and Abuse

Renowned actor Gurpreet Ghuggi has made headlines with his outspoken critique of Bollywood’s current trends, emphasizing the need for a shift towards more socially responsible filmmaking. In a recent statement, Ghuggi expressed his concerns over the portrayal of nudity and vulgarity in modern cinema, arguing that it undermines the sense of unity and social cohesion once prevalent in Indian films.

 

Ghuggi highlighted the critical role of cinema in shaping societal values and bringing people together. “This is the need of the hour,” he asserted. “Bollywood needs to create films that foster a sense of togetherness and reflect the spirit of unity, much like the poem ‘Ek Chidiya, Anek Chidiya’ or the iconic song ‘Mile Sur Mera Tumhara’. Such works had the power to unite and inspire.”

 

The actor pointed out that Bollywood has strayed from its tradition of producing films with meaningful messages, citing past classics like Yeh Desh Ki Veer Jawano Ka which celebrated national pride and unity. According to Ghuggi, today’s cinema often prioritizes shock value and sensationalism over constructive content.

 

He voiced his dissatisfaction with the current state of Bollywood, where “in the name of modernity,” audiences are frequently exposed to explicit content and abuse. “These elements do not contribute to the betterment of society,” he argued. Instead, Ghuggi praised films like Ardaas for their ability to shape and uplift society, and he called for a return to the era of socially conscious filmmaking exemplified by Manoj Kumar’s works.

 

Ghuggi’s comments reflect a broader conversation about the role of cinema in society and the responsibility of filmmakers to produce content that resonates with cultural values and fosters community spirit. His call to action serves as a reminder of the potential for cinema to be a force for positive change, advocating for a return to films that build bridges and promote unity.

 

Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di features Gippy Grewal, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Jasmin Bhasin. The film is releasing in cinemas on 13th September, 2024.
