Leslie Udwin, the filmmaker of the controversial documentary 'India's Daughter' based on the Nirbhaya rape case, has responded to the critics saying that "you cannot go out saying such things without seeing the film".
According to Fox News, Udwin said that people who say that the film sensationalizes the crime or puts blame on the victim sorely miss the point.
Udwin said that if a person is civilized and wants to engage in the bigger issue, provided they have seen the film, then they would not say such things.
New Delhi had banned the film last week saying it could cause a breach of law and order.
