Last
Thursday,
two
films
–
Raksha
Bandhan
and
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
arrived
in
theatres
and
unfortunately,
both
film
failed
to
receive
positive
response
from
audience.
In
her
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
media
portal,
when
filmmaker
Aanand
L
Rai
was
asked
about
Raksha
Bandhan
being
called
a
regressive
film,
here’s
what
he
said…
He
told
News18,
“You
can’t
ignore
this.
I
know,
we
should
be
very
progressive,
we
are
in
many
ways.
But
there
are
many
things
that
need
to
be
taken
care
of
and
you
can’t
shut
your
eyes
off.
Not
talking
about
it
will
not
give
you
a
solution.”

He
further
said
that
as
a
maker,
he
cannot
write
articles
or
make
documentaries,
but
he
can
express
himself
through
his
films.
“So,
if
you
feel
there
is
something
regressive
about
this,
that
means
there
is
time
to
correct
our
society,” averred
Rai.
He
further
said
that
he
can
say
that
we
are
the
best
in
the
world,
but
questioned
if
we
really
are
we.

“We
are
trying
our
best.
This
thing
of
us
(the
actors
and
filmmaker)
coming
together
and
telling
you
a
story
like
Raksha
Bandhan
where
you
feel
there
is
something
regressive,
that
means
our
intention
was
just
to
take
the
focus
there.
Let’s
not
ignore
it,
let’s
deal
with
it.
So
next
time
when
I
make
a
film,
you’ll
not
find
that
kind
of
regression,”
concluded
Rai.
Raksha
Bandhan
features
Akshay
Kumar,
Bhumi
Pednekar,
Sadia
Khateeb,
Deepika
Khanna,
Smrithi
Srikanth
and
Sahejmeen
Kaur
in
the
lead
roles.
