Based on the global spread of Sikhs, we’re only really looking at 30% of the Sikh population who live outside of India. The majority 70% of potential cinema sales is lost income for the filmmakers if Sadda Haq ban is not lifted. The financial hit will discourage other filmakers just as the Indian elite want.

Our job should now be to lift the ban in India. Now is the time to use our contacts with the Sants, Jatehdars, Jathebhandis etc to add to the pressure on SGPC to revoke their opinion against the movie.

But out of that 70%, how much of Indian Sikh population would had gone and seen the movie in Theatres, 90% of this 70% would had seen the movie at home on Pirated CDs!, and other 5% when movie comes on TV in 3-6 months.

What are the procedures to nominate any movie to International Awards etc.? Some major speaking languages such as French, German, Spanish could also be explored. French is commonly spoken in most of Europe and even in Canada.

Lets not get over-enthusiastic. Firstly, objectively, is it worthy of awards from a direction, production, cinematograpy, acting, etc., perspective? If not then we'll look foolish making noise about the film being award-worthy just because it's dealing with a subject important to us, as opposed to judging the film on merit.

Just take the movie for what it is: A decent, eye-opening melodrama (albeit based on fact) dealing with political and social issues that are still relevant to a section of society in the north of India. That should be enough for now. If we want awards for movies such as these then I'm afraid the sophistication level of such endeavours will need to be ramped up, so that we are in-line with other international productions which deal with similar issues such as movies from as recently as 2012 like War Witch, The Impossible, or even something as off-beat as a slightly older movie like Persopelis (yes, that movie which isn't a cartoon, lol).

Like I said the publicity the film is gaining as of now is excellent, and that should suffice for now.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
