Here's all you need to know about Udta Punjab's Controversy with the CBFC
Anurag Kashyap, producer of Udta Punjab, is not taking the decision of major cuts suggested in Udta Punjab too kindly. As stated by the Central Board of Film Certification, the film needs 89 cuts and the removal of any reference to the state of Punjab.
This will definitely hamper the narrative of Udta Punjab, making it seem like an ambiguous film with no real reference.
Some of the very furious tweets written by Anurag Kashyap :
My deepest gratitude to the Emir of Qatar for the gesture.
@narendramodi UDTA Punjab
Lead actor Shahid Kapoor pitched in his opinion as well.
" “Just because the title is Udta Punjab, everyone is thinking the problem is only in Punjab. First of all, Punjab is in India and any problem in Punjab is India’s problem. It (drug abuse) is not a problem for Punjab but the youth. Everyone associated with the film believes the issue genuinely concerns the youth and not just the Punjabis which is why it is a Hindi film and not Punjabi.”
Anurag Kashyap plan to move to the High Court for the final judgement. We hope it's in favor of the true expression by the film-makers.
Justice for Udta Punjab has just started trending on twitter.
