    Such persons who try to bring human sufferings at the hands of the powerful and the tyrants to light are ignored, suppressed and victimised, ridiculed and destroyed so the vicked can continue to rule. Thus defeated souls are reduced to infamy while the guilty powerful fly on a carpet of victory until evetually the judgement day arrives... of the powerful to light

    Morning shows of Manto were abruptly cancelled in Delhi, Noida, Mumbai, Pune and Ahmedabad on opening day. Cinemas cited a technical glitch as the cause. https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/early-shows-of-manto-cancelled-in-delhi-mumbai-ahmedabad-nandita-das-reacts/story-bhdFiSTFRk4PusIuMXThVP.html
