“For those who might have succumbed to misconceptions about serving advisory notice to Baby movie team, we started with this particular movie due to the attention it garnered in recent times.
The whole effort is to sensitise about the negative impact of scenes depicting drug consumption by lead characters - as they can normalize harmful behavior in the society and promotes “It’s all right!” kind of attitude since movies hold immense influence over society.
“Glad that the Baby movie team received the feedback in a positive way. Film makers need to strike a balance between creative freedom and social responsibility.”
