After years of delays, filmmaker Sarmad Khoosat has had enough. As his film Zindagi Tamasha won’t be releasing in cinemas, he released it himself – on YouTube. He posted a video on Instagram in which he announced that he will be uploading the full version of Zindagi Tamasha to YouTube. Wishing everyone a happy Independence Day in advance, he said he too wanted to free something – his feature film Zindagi Tamasha. He acknowledged the controversies surrounding the movie and said while there is a sense of loss, it is not just his. “There is a bit of a sense of failure, but it is not just mine. It is the system, it is that our voices are just not powerful enough,” he said. The filmmaker said that as a responsible citizen, he followed all the administrative processes and legalities involved, paid the dues and tried very hard but the road was paved with unfairness and injustices for Zindagi Tamasha. “There will be no collective cinematic experience of watching the story which was meant to be yours, meant to be felt by you, meant to be received by you. It will now be received through YouTube,” said Khoosat. “So, Zindagi Tamasha is now all yours, and the only request I will make is, when you see the film, do so with an open mind, ignore the controversy about it and judge it on its own merits and demerits.”
