What is the Controversy ?

As soon as the poster went viral, it created a furore on social media for hurting religious sentiments of Hindus. Netizens started slamming the filmmaker on social  media for sharing the controversial poster and said that the objectionable poster showing Goddess Kaali smoking is a desperate strategy for provoking people’s sentiments.

The Filmmaker Responded to the Criticism

After facing huge criticism and outrage on social media, Kaali’s filmmaker Leena Manimekalai that as a poet and filmmaker she embodies Kaali in her own independent vision. She also issued a statement justifying the objectionable depiction of Kaali.

In the statements she said that there documentary film revolves around the events that take place on evening when Kaali appears and strolls the streets of Toronto. She further added that if you see the film, don’t put the hashtag “arrest Leena manimekalai” and put the hashtag “love you Leena manimekalai”.

ஒரு மாலைப்பொழுது, டோரோண்டோ மாநகரத்தில காளி தோன்றி வீதிகளில் உலா வரும்போது நடக்கிற சம்பவங்கள் தான் படம். படத்தைப்பார்த்தா “arrest leena manimekalai” hashtag போடாம “love you leena manimekalai” hashtag போடுவாங்க.✊🏽 https://t.co/W6GNp3TG6m

In another tweet she added, she has nothing to lose, she want to be with the voice that speaks without fear and if it costs her life, she will give it.

“எனக்கு இழப்பதற்கு ஒன்றுமில்லை. இருக்கும் வரை எதற்கும் அஞ்சாமல் நம்புவதைப் பேசும் குரலோடு இருந்துவிட விரும்புகிறேன். அதற்கு விலை என் உயிர் தான் என்றால் தரலாம்” https://t.co/fEU3sWY4HK
