The father of the victim, who died of injuries sustained during the shocking attack, said on Thursday he thought everyone should watch the documentary, which showed “the bitter truth” about attitudes to women in India.
“Everyone should watch the film,” news channel NDTV quoted him as saying on its website.
“If a man can speak like that in jail, imagine what he would say if he was walking free.”
The victim’s mother told NDTV she did not object to the ban but believed Singh’s views were widespread in India.
“I don’t care what the government does, bans the film, doesn’t ban the film, the only thing I know is that nobody is afraid,” she said.
“It is not only Mukesh who thinks like this,” she said, referring to Mukesh Singh, who is on death row for the rape and murder of her daughter and was interviewed for the film.
The December 2012 gang-rape of a young physiotherapy student, who cannot be named, highlighted the frightening level of violence against women in the world’s second most populous country and triggered mass protests.
