Exclusive screening of Udta Punjab for Shyam Benegal

A decision has been taken to exclusively screen Abhishek Chaubey’s controversial film ‘Udta Punjab’ to filmmaker Shyam Benegal, who heads the central government’s censor board revamp committee.

The decision comes after filmmaker Anurag Kashyap decided to make the issue public by taking the social and mainstream media route. In a series of tweets, Kashyap slammed the board for its issues with the film.

Benegal has said he would be able to comment on the controversy once he watches the movie.

“I don’t know the actual matter as I have not seen the film. I will see it tomorrow and then only I can say something. Before that, it is not fair on my part to comment or say anything on it” Benegal was quoted as saying by PTI.

The Censor Board of Film Certification has raised certain objections to the Shahid Kapoor - Alia Bhatt – Kareena Kapoor Khan film after references were made to the drug addiction issue in Punjab.

  • I hope I grow up to be as psuedo and as intellectual as my father Nipun.,

    All future movies of Aarav Kumar will get zero stars.. Hridhan and Hrehan will get 5 stars even if their movies are worse than Bang Bang. Yet to decide on rating of Aryan Khan movies.

    I hope Ranveer and Sonakshi’s children are cast in remake of Lootera.

  • Serious article Ki maa behen kar di b&*?#@do but I laughed too much.
    Now I am going watch to watch lootera and cry so that I can compensate for the laugh I had.

  • Last night I saw nipun watching pirated copy of housefull3 on his computer.. he was rolling on the floor laughing…. later in sleep he was shouting “Generous 1 on 5”

    told mom something is wrong with him, mom said she always knew.

  • yes beti i always knew but your papa didn’t believe me. Let’s wait to hear what he has to say
