The Dirty Picture, scheduled to release with a mass opening this Friday, will
unfortunately not be screened in India's neighbour, Pakistan. According to the Pakistani Censor
Board committee, the movie's content has been deemed as too bold and inappropriate for the Pakistani
audience. The board took the same verdict earlier this year with Aamir Khan's satire,
Delhi Belly.
Officials from Balaji Motion Pictures confirmed the alarming
buzz, further adding how it is a loss to the movie's fans in the
country.
Furthermore, officials believe that this measure encourages piracy as
fans in general may approach illicit ways of seeing the venture.
Living
in this day and age, and with cinema and audiences welcoming bold
projects on their screens, has the censor board taken the
right decision? Let us know!
