CBFC demands 14 cuts in Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Indu Sarkar’

And CBFC strikes again and this time under their radar is Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Indu Sarkar’. The movie was screened to CBFC members on Monday, and surprisingly they have demanded 14 cuts in the film and two disclaimers. What’s shocking is that the makers have been told to delete the dialogues, that were passed in the trailer.

While talking to a news agency, Madhur said, “I don’t want to change anything since it will affect the essence of my film. We will go to the Revising Committee first. Hope it gets cleared there. If not, we will have no option but to go to the Tribunal.”

Dialogues that have been told to delete are: “Aur tum log zindagi bhar maa-bete ki gulami karte rahoge”, “Bharat ki ek beti ne desh ko bandi banaya hua hai”, “Main toh 70 saal ka buddha hoon, meri nasbandi kyun karwa rahe ho?” and “Ab iss desh mein Gandhi ke mayane badal chuke hai.”

CBFC has also demanded to remove the Indian Herald newspaper cutting that mentions leaders’ names like Morarji Desai, Atal Behari Vajpayee and Lal Krishna Advani during 1975. The words that have been ordered to be removed include Kishore Kumar, IB, PM Section Officer, RSS, Akali, Communist and Jayprakash Narayan.
