Controversial poster?
As the documentary title name is kali so it’s easy to understand that the documentary is on Kali Ma. the poster has shown that kali ma is smoking. In the poster, we can see that kali ma is having a cigarette in her hands and is smoking.
The lawyer said the director has shown something which in my understanding is wrong and highly objectionable. I want the director to be arrested as they have made a very disrespectful poster of the goddess.
According to some sources Leena has said that he and his team is very extinct about the documentary as the was launched at the Canada film festival and hoping for a positive response and love from the public.
