INDUSTRY REACTS TO THE BLACK WEDNESDAY: Let's revolt and flock to the theatres to see Udta Punjab
At 2.37 pm today, SpotboyE was the first to break the shocking news that the much-awaited Udta Punjab had been leaked online (WHAT THE FU**! SABOTAGE!! UDTA PUNJAB LEAKED ONLINE!!!, June 15). 

Bollywood is in a state of deep shock. The very first quote by Ramesh Taurani exemplifies that so vividly.

I can't believe that such a thing has happened. Tell me that you're joking. It is, to say the least, sad and shocking.

I first learnt the news from SpotboyE. I went into a tizzy. Initially I was not sure if I would see the film, but now I am going to rise in revolt and see the movie in a theatre at any cost. All those people who spoke for the freedom of expression when Anurag Kashyap ran into a fight with the Censors must now take care to not get tempted to download the film. The film will get damaged only if the audience is corrupt and immature. Let us uphold the High Court's verdict which was our victory and rise in unison to see this film in a theatre ASAP.

June 15, 2016, will go down as a very bad day for the industry. It almost happened with me at the time of Sarbjit, there were links which had come up on the Internet but thankfully the movie didn't get downloaded.

As long as the film reaches the people and touches their hearts, it is still a triumph. A rose is a rose is a rose. But yes, this is definitely an inside job. The film industry will now have to get together again to crack on how to deal with such problems. Let's await the findings of the Cyber Crime Cell.

I will definitely see the film in a theatre. This news is shameful. The hard work of the cast and crew can go down the drain. There is some shameless person behind this, no doubt.

It is impossible in this case to pinpoint that who is the culprit simply because too many copies were floating in the market as the film was being shown to many of its detractors. Someone has had the guts to leak out a copy with 'Censor Copy' written on it means that the person in question has a clear and big motive and no respect for the law. Whatever has happened is heartbreaking. Every film lover should make it a point to not download the film but instead go to a theatre.

Bahut sharam ki baat hai. Agar Censors ne kiya hai, toh bahut hi vindictive step liya hai. There is bound to be some loss of revenue. The leakage calls for a thorough investigation.

I don't think that there will be a loss of revenue; the public will go to see the film on the big screen. The producers were at their wits' end since many weeks. I can understand what they're undergoing at this moment. Honestly, I can't say who must have leaked it but a criminal act has been committed

F@#k, this is terrible. Severe action should be taken against the mischief-mongers. I will definitely see the film in a movie hall and let us all see it. This is the least that we can do.

It has been a very sad day for me. No matter what, I am going to see the film a multiple number of times. The less we talk about it the better, else the news about the leakage will only spread.
