MeToo Movement Highlights Sexual Misconduct Allegations in Indian Film Industries

The MeToo movement continues to impact India's film industries, with recent allegations against Assamese film critic Utpal Datta for inappropriate conduct, prompting institutional scrutiny and potential legal action. This follows earlier high-profile cases like the 2018 accusations against Bollywood director Sajid Khan, which led to his ban and raised hopes for reform. Despite these developments, challenges persist in addressing sexual misconduct and ensuring accountability within both regional and national film sectors.
