Censor board member says he objected to scenes in PK, but was ignored

Controversies surrounding Aamir Khan’s PK never seem to end. In fact, non-stop coverage on news channels has probably helped the film at the box office too.

Now, Satish Kalyankar, a member of Central Board of Film Certification, has said that he objected to some scenes in PK, but his concerns were ignored. 

Religious leader and freedom fighter, Shankaracharya Swaroopanand Saraswati, has now demanded a CBI probe over how the movie got the censor board certificate.

Kalyankar, also a member of the film screening committee, said the movie violated the rules, one of which requires that a film should not contain such scenes or dialogues that hurt religious sentiments.

Films can be publicly exhibited in India only after they have been certified by the CBFC.

Swaroopanand told the media some censor board members had asked the movie to be sent for a review again. When their request was ignored, they had also written to the information and broadcasting ministry.

He said the names of the members who had objections to the scenes were left out of the film’s certificate, and there should be a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation into it.

He said states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar exempted the movie from entertainment tax because of ‘vote-bank’ politics.
