Steamy Sex Talk and Skin Stir Up The Indian Censor Board

The Indian censor board should put itself to better use and go jump into the sea, aargh! They stand almost no competition, apart from the BCCI perhaps, when it comes to being thickheaded.

Time and again, they rate a movie ‘A’, and have people curious and lining up to watch it, only to be sorely disappointed. For instance, I haven’t yet figured out why Kaminey was rated ‘A’. The strongest word in the movie was perhaps the title itself, and please, we’ve all heard worse. The version I watched in the movie hall didn’t even have the much-talked about steamy smooch between Priyanka and Shahid!

And, now I hear that even after rating Pankh ‘A’, the censor nuts weren’t satisfied and demanded that Bipasha’s dialogue be cleaned up of the ‘F’ word. Bipasha’s character in the movie says, “You are f****d up in the head, that’s why you want to f*** me.”

But director Sudipto Chattopadhyay didn’t blink and won his way. And ain’t I glad! If the movie is to get an ‘A’ rating anyway, then why does it need to be sanitized, and for whom?

I am tired of your holier-than-thou, self- righteous attitude. Move out of the way people and let us enjoy our movies without having to pass them through your laughably outdated moral judgments and loopy rating system.

“You are f****d up in the head, that’s why you want to f*** me”
