Sudip Sharma, creative mind behind hits such as Paatal Lok, has given an essential message in regard to the disturbing trend of violence depiction in mass films.

Recently, in a talk show, he had candidly admitted his strong aversion towards how violence became a means and not the end for movies in which protagonists were involved in such serious acts with no repercussions to their character. "One man enters a hotel with a gun and kills 150 people, and nobody asks where the police are," he pointedly said, questioning societal desensitization to such extreme violence often glorified in popular narratives.

Sharma's critique seems to be directed at films like Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, which are often accused of exalting violent characters as heroes. Violence should not be positioned as the core of storytelling; rather, it should simply be used as a narrative device for deeper explorations of social issues, he points out.

He set out to show the connection of violence giving rise to greater violence through works like NH10 and Paatal Lok, while he also projected the structural causes of the unleashing of such violence by individuals.

The creator maintains that the depiction of violence without consequence runs the risk of normalization and undermines the moral parameters surrounding that reality.

The director says: "There is a dangerous glorification of violence with no accountability to be seen." He urges moviegoers to examine the morality behind these depictions and to think about their effects in real life.

The entire purpose of Sharma is to encourage a proper depiction of violence in the movies that leads the audience to introspection and not desensitization.
