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.

    May I have your attention please? Will the real nipun please stand up? I repeat will the real nipun please stand up?

  • Udta punjab is a film looks like a game changer in bollywood. But why idiots like chief of CBFT pahlaj nihalani has creat a problem to pass the movie. Simply give a movie ‘A’ certificate and pass it. This idiot pahlaj nihalani is not a suitable person for chief of cbft. There is need of person who can understand the film and have knowledge of film making in CBFT.

    And those political partys who are trying to stop a movie to get certificate are actually a guilty for drug trafficking.

  • Big stars like hrithik varun srk arjun have replied to ur tweets means they have definitely read ur articles so how can u allow an article to b spammed by never ending trolls

  • Watched Houseful 3 again. I am on a repeat mode. I am in HF3 hangover. Seems like I gotta take Bournevita again, which has become my favorite after Rohit took it in KMG.

  • I am dying to give my review for Udta Punjab. Call me No.1 Critic after that. KRK is no more number one critic.

  • This article’s comments is as 3rd grade as like @indicine’s review for sultan’s 3rd grade songs.

    this too many nipun IDs may have done by babaji/navin and may nipun too would have involved as he enjoyed and reviewed all jokes.3 idiots/irritated fools of @indicine.or may be that over-intellectual @gj007 may have joined this troll game.

    BOLLYWOOD is heading towards crapfest and destruction besides some EID,DEEWALI,CHRISTMAS’S CRAP HITS,BOLLYWOOD completely lost it’s glory and doesn’t have any main events in it’s calendar.

    And these 3 crap film watcher’s review exactly matched with their comments,iq level exactly matches with the standard of BOLLYWOOD movies are making now a days.

    @indicine,I really like your moderating system,really hats off,really salute towards you.
