Lol wdym trust you. Bjp appointed Asha Parekh as CBFC chief in 1998, moment they were in power. You can Google and check. https://cbfcindia.gov.in/cbfcAdmin/list-of-chairpersons.php#:~:text=The Central Board of Film Certification is,the provisions of the Cinematograph Act 1952. Doesn't matter, majority or not. Bjp was in power. You can change positions without being in Majority. Congress never had majority number of 272 since 1989 on their own. They were ruling with support of regional party only and changing positions in institutions and passing all sorts of laws while being in a Coliation. After Rajiv Gandhi Congress never formed government on their own with majority. Moment new party comes in power, Coliation or majority, they immediately change CBI, ED, EC, IB, RAW, CBFC and other government institutions Chief working officers with their own people. It happens everywhere not just in India.

But Atal Bihari didn’t come with a 290 seat majority of his own party. No one resigned after Atal Came to power……trust me. Before 2000’s no one even paid heed to the BJP let alone resign out of fear. Making a AAA movies with a Khan to please them is out of question.

When modi came in power, censor board chief immediately resigned himself. He knew, government will replace him. So he left on his own. Government always put their people in power in these institutions without wasting time. When BJP came in power in 1998, that year immediately they appointed Asha Parekh as new CBFC chief and she stayed in power for entire NDA term till 2004. Fact remains Sarfarosh was NOT released in Congress era. Aamir himself said anti Pakistan movies were not possible before 1998 as CBFC wont let us release such movies. You were not allowed to call Pakistan a terrorist country in movies before 1998. And it doesn't matter whether Sarfarosh had any influence or not. Only thing im trying to point out here that how film makers were NOT allowed to make anti Pakistan or anti isi movies in India which talks about Pakistan based terrorism before 1998. Border was only exception, but Border was about 1971 war and didn't talk about sponsored terrorism in Pakistan. So Congress allowed it coz in 1971 War Indira Gandi was in power and movie was based on 1971 war which boasted Indira Gandhi image in the country as strong leader. Bombay movie was not related to Pakistan and it showed local riots, but didnt attack any community in the movie. It did monkey balancing and held both communities responsible and all.

It doesn’t happen instantaneously. Specially when there is a weak coalition government where ppl know it’d be dropping anytime. Takes time for tenures & replacements. Right wing wasn’t influencing Bollywood at all before the 2000’s. Border & Sarfarosh & Bombay were organically released without any political influences or affiliations. It was the mood of the nation & that’s sarvochh & sarva priya 🙌🏽

You guys are reading too much into the political interference that happens in the movie A lot of good movies get made without someone poking, a lot of bad movies get made with political backing. In the end, movies or any sort of entertainment doesn't *enlighten" anyone, it just confirms your biases and give you feeling that you were right. All movies have propoganda, you choose to swallow it or spit at it.
