Censor Board member slams NH10 cuts
Censor Board member slams NH10 cuts.The Pahlaj Nihalani-led Censor Board, which has lately been the subject of much public debate and scrutiny, now seems split wide open with Board member Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi writing a letter to Nihalani over the edits ordered in Anushka Sharma’s ‘NH10’.
The Pahlaj Nihalani-led Censor Board, which has lately been the subject of much public debate and scrutiny, now seems split wide open with Board member Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi writing a letter to Nihalani over the edits ordered in Anushka Sharma’s ‘NH10’.
Dr Dwivedi objected to chopping of certain cuss-words from the film because, as he writes, the Board decided that the list of banned words issued some weeks ago would not be implemented without “detailed discussion amongst the members of the board and the cross section of the society.” He describes the cuts in NH10 as a ‘violation of trust.’‘NH10’ was initially denied certification by the Board and then passed with nine cuts.
Dwivedi writes, “I have started feeling uncomfortable being a part of an esteemed institution where collective decision of the board is ignored or collective voice is unheard.” He has asked for an urgent meeting of the Board to address “several uncomfortable issues.” The matter has now reportedly been referred to Rajyavardhan Rathore, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting.
In what seems to be a major internal rift, several Board members are believed to disagree with Pahlaj Nihalani’s somewhat autocratic decision-making style.Nihalani took over as Censor Board chief in January, after previous head Leela Samson and nine Board members resigned alleging government interference in clearing of films.
