'Udta Punjab' row: How can you delete words like MP, MLA? Bombay HC asks CBFC
The Bombay High Court on Thursday heard the petition by the co-producers of Udta Punjab, Phantom Films The Bombay High Court heard the plea by Phantom Films, co-producers of Udta Punjab, against the Central Bureau of Film Certification’s refusal to grant the film an ‘A’ certificate before its scheduled 17 June release, unless the team agreed to make certain cuts. Among the cuts imposed by the CBFC’s review committee are: the removal of all references to the state of Punjab, its cities and visuals of Shahid Kapoor urinating, characters using drugs etc. Phantom Films approached the Bombay High Court stating that they had not received the list of cuts that the CBFC was seeking, before passing it. However, the film’s team was then given this information by the review committee — a mere two hours before the planned High Court hearing on Wednesday, 8 June.
