Censorboard

It looks like Vishal Bharadwaj’s fight against censorial diktats has this time gone in the censorboard’s favour. Contrary to reports that Bharadwaj’s new film <em>Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola</em> has been served an all-clear ‘UA’ certificate the director had to modify the word ‘<em>paincho’ </em> from the film at several points before certification.

Though the Censor Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) was largely happy with the content of Dabangg 2 apparently some members of the Examining Committee noticed an aberration in some sequences which if not corrected could have caused a national furore. Apparently the national emblem framed on the wall of Chulbul Pandey’s police station depicted it incorrectly. Sensitive to the slightest abnormality pertaining to national sentiments the CBFC has asked producer-director Arbaaz Khan to simply blur the corner of the film’s frames where the national emblem appears.
