Diljeet mentioned that no Punjabi language film had released till date addressing the drug menace in the state, it could have been out of the fear of political reprisal

@bold: This seems more like the real reason for the ban.

Why can't they issue an "A" certificate and release the movie otherwise? How can a movie be banned for using swear words? The CB sure don't seem to have problem approving trashy movies like Mastizaade and Kya Kool Hain Hum though

What is the equivalent of the 'R' rating for language ? I can't believe it is so bad. Do they really expect drug dealers not to swear ? oh yeah, we deal with drugs that destroy people's lives but we will do it politely. 🤔. Seriously. 😒. Was looking forward to this.

This is how cinema dies. Why the hell will anyone want to take risks or be realistic ? Can't believe this is happening in 2016.
