Censorship has always been one of the most debatable topics in India. While the Film Censor Board in India has a record of running into troubles every now and then, film-makers today are absolutely confused and startled at their hypocritical behavior.
Here are instances when Censor Board turned horribly unreasonable!
1. ‘SAMBHOG’ AND ‘BHAGWAAN’ ARE CHOPPED OFF FROM THE UPCOMING FILM HATE STORY 3
2. RAMESH SIPPY HAD TO CHANGE THE CLIMAX OF SHOLAY BECAUSE ACCORDING TO CENSOR BOARD, THE CLIMAX SHOT WAS VERY ‘VIOLENT’!
3. WHEN JOHNY LEVER’S NAME IN AKSHAY KUMAR’S ENTERTAINMENT WAS CHANGED FROM ‘ABDULLAH’ TO ‘HABIBULLLAH’
4. WHEN CENSOR BOARD OBJECTED AT RANI MUKERJI’S ‘MIDDLE FINGER’ IN THE FILM NO ONE KILLED JESSCIA!
5. THE CENSOR BOARD HAS ISSUED AN ‘A’ CERTIFICATE TO LOVESHHUDA’S TEASER BECAUSE IT HAD THE WORD “BED” IN IT!
6. WHEN CENSOR BOARD CHOSE TO BEEP ‘DIN MEIN SISTER, RAAT MEIN BISTAR’ AND WORD ‘SAALI’ FROM IMTIAZ ALI’S TAMASHA
7. WHEN THE WORD ‘BOOBS’ WAS CHOPPED OFF FROM NIKHIL ADVANI’S KATTI BATTI
8. VERBAL EXPLETIVES LIKE `AS*H*L*’ AND `F****RS’ WERE MODIFIED TO ‘ASS’ AND ‘FOKERS’ AND THE WORD ‘NAKED’ WAS DELETED FROM SAIF ALI KHAN’S HAPPY ENDING
9. FORGET FILMS, CENSOR BOARD EVEN OBJECTED AT MOVIE POSTERS. POSTERS OF PHANTOM WERE HEAVILY CRITICIZED BY CENSOR BOARD BECAUSE ASHOKA CHAKRA WAS VISIBLE ON THE TRICOLOR FLAGS THAT WERE TIED AROUND KATRINA AND SAIF’S EYES
10. WHEN ‘DIL DOLA RE’ FROM THE UPCOMING FILM ANGRY INDIAN GODDESSES BECAME ‘DILDO’ FOR CENSOR BOARD!
