Don't download Udta Punjab: Anurag Kashyap. Wait till Saturday

I have never downloaded a film on torrent. I don't know how to.

Yes occasionally, I have seen downloaded films borrowed from friends and found a way to pay for them later, by buying them on DVD or BlueRay, and when I say this, I also say that no one can stop your right to download a film.

This time it's a different fight. It's a fight against censorship and if you are that audience that always downloads a film, then I won't ask you to not do that, please do, but wait till Saturday, which is the day you would normally download a film.

Piracy happens because of lack of access and in a world of free internet, I do not have a problem with it.

My problem is that this time it's a case of vested interests trying to demoralise people from fighting for their rights.

So all downloaders of Udta Punjab, I urge you, wait till Saturday till you decide to not pay for the film.

Don't download and share, curb the curiosity for two more days.

Thank you for reading this.
