As Bollywood grapples with its very own #MeToo storm, it was perhaps unsurprising that the topic, as well as the role of women in the Indian entertainment industry, dominated the opening ceremony of the 20th edition of the Mumbai Film Festival on Thursday.
The recent wave of allegations against prominent men in India's film and TV industry has not only disrupted upcoming projects and caused soul-searching across the country but it also led the Mumbai Festival to drop films from filmmakers facing accusations including actor-director Rajat Kapoor (Khadak) and comedy collective All India Bakchod's production Chintu Ka Birthday....

The #MeToo movement arrived late in India. But it is a juggernaut that is here to stay, and is having a measurable effect on production.
Aamir Khan Productions is to withdraw from a film where one of the filmmakers is accused of harassment in a 2014 case that is currently sub-judice. “This is an opportunity for the film industry to introspect and take concrete steps towards change,” actor/producer Aamir Khan and producer Kiran Rao tweeted in a joint statement. “For far too long women have borne the brunt of sexual exploitation. It has to stop.”
The movement kicked off with actress Tanushree Dutta accusing veteran actor Nana Patekar of harassment on the sets of “Horn ‘Ok’ Pleasss” in 2008, an allegation she made then and again last week. This was followed by harassment allegations against Phantom Films founding partner Vikas Bahl by an employee. That led to the dissolution of the company.
