Mahesh Bhatt @MaheshNBhatt

" Censorship is the child of fear and the father of ignorance". Is Pahalaj Nihalani listening ?



Ramesh SrivatsVerified account @rameshsrivats

Censor Board wants Punjab removed from Udta Punjab. Thank God these guys weren't around when Bombay to Goa was released.


Ram Gopal VarmaVerified account @RGVzoomin

For what it actually represents Udta Punjab Is diminutive.. A more truthful and righteous title would be Udta India or Udta World


TIMES NOWVerified account @TimesNow

It is the duty of every freedom loving person to stand up & fight for 'Udta Punjab':Mahesh Bhatt #UdtaPunjabCensored


Zoom TVVerified account @ZoomTV

.@RGVzoomin said that a more truthful and righteous title for #UdtaPunjab would be 'Udta India' or 'Udta World'


Faridoon Shahryar @iFaridoon

TOI Entertainment @TOIEntertain

#NaseeruddinLIVE: The Censor should grow up. Wish they were a group of enlighten people, be qualified, be left alone



TIMES NOWVerified account @TimesNow Mumbai, India

Even one cut by Censors amounts to murder of film (Udta Punjab): Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap


Ashoke Pandit @ashokepandit

I as a #CBFC member appeal to the #Chairman to take a call as a filmmaker & protect the FOE of a filmmaker.#UdtaPunjab

I think, it's better not to release the movie than releasing it with so many cuts. 89! What's left in there to show?

You may feel it's not fair to remove Punjab from Udta Punjab. But wait till Maneka Gandhi tells to remove Tommy from Tommy Singh.


Hansal MehtaVerified account @mehtahansal

What is this I'm hearing about #UdtaPunjab? Makes me very, very angry.

a very tough situation here for makers. They can still appeal to court maybe but that will take time and a shift in release can cause harm as its not easy to get a good solo release with peak season like its getting now.
or either release it with the cuts and title change as majority of people already know that film is based on punjab issue. the controversy would might generate more awareness and curiosity as it generally happens.

Gabbbar @GabbbarSingh Gurgaon, India

They should release the movie Udta Punjab on Snapchat.


Gabbbar @GabbbarSingh Gurgaon, IndiaView translation

Saying Udta Punjab can't have any mention of Punjab is like asking Kejriwal to make no mention of Modi


Sunanda Vashisht @sunandavashisht

Udta Punjab may do for Punjab what no one else has been able to do.Tragic if censored.People need to understand Punjab needs to be rescued


Tusshar @TusshKapoor

Jeetendra: We respect the people of Punjab & certainly would never want to hurt their sentiments. We have & will always go by whatever right


Tusshar @TusshKapoor

advice the CBFC gives! Films are for entertainment, not for defamation & we have no such intention as I, myself, am a proud son of Punjab!

VISHAL DADLANI Retweeted Janta Ka Reporter

What utter nonsense! How do you address about an issue related to Punjab, while hiding the state's name? And why?


Devansh Patel @PatelDevansh

Dumb f**ks! Ban Drugs you assholes not the film. #UdtaPunjab #UdtaPunjabCensored


Unkle po*national @NotSoSnob

If the makers of #UdtaPunjab cant fight it,i doubt any1 cn ever. 4 big stars fm different backgrnds/connection,1 big studio,1 big prod house


Unkle po*national @NotSoSnob

And it's a great tactic to scare all directors/producers. Next time-anything on similar lines,every1 wl think 100 times,so mch risk/headache

Rajdeep SardesaiVerified account @sardesairajdeep

The censor board seems to be telling us there is no drug problem in Punjab? Which cuckoo land are they living in? #UdtaPunjab
