Q. There are huge issues with censorship in India should it not be like the West where a film is rated and then the audience decides?

Ans. There are a lot of things in India which are not like the West and basically censorship cant be like the West because it has more to be with society than anything else. Actually its really not that important as the film industry is where it is due to the support of family audiences and any film which actually has appreciation is the one which works with families. This audience does not appreciate sex, violence or swearing and it goes to the extent that many makers who know this audience show as less bloodshed as they can even when making action films and it works. On the other hand there is the freedom of the maker but with so many films being made in India it is open to abuse as well.
