'Himmatwala' gets a Bum Pe Laat by censor board

The Censor Board has clamped down on one of the songs of Ajay Devgn starrer 'Himmatwala'. The film's song 'Bum Pe Laat' has not been approved by the Censor Board. The reason? Usage of the word 'bum'! Director Sajid Khan isn't too happy with this decision as the word 'bum' doesn't sound derogatory in any sense and more so when 'Bum Pe Laat' is a song meant for kids.

A source close to the production team reveals, "The song 'Bum Pe Laat' is facing issues with the censor board for the word 'bum'. It's a song wherein the kids are kicking Tamannah's bum. It's a cute song for kids, which has been choreographed by Ganesh Acharya. We don't understand why the Censor Board has disapproved of it when there are songs like 'Hookah Bar' and all still going fine."

We tried contacting Sajid, but he maintained a 'no comment' stance. However, the source said critics will be watching the movie on Monday. "Critics will view the movie on Monday to decide whether the song should be included or not."

But what remains to be seen is if any action will be taken against the song. Will the word 'bum' be replaced?

If I have no problems with the c word, then bum is child's play.

But I fail to understand a song where you kick someone's bum? What the heck? Although when you think of it, kids don't have much sense like we do. When I was a wee un, I would smack people on the bum with my cricket bat. It was a silly game. Then again, even as a grown up, I'm often tempted to smack that.

I have heard this term somwhere ... PATA NHI KAHA?
