Tellybuzz in talks with different stars to know about their views about if the decision taken by the censor board is right.
The Bombay High Court has asked the Union information and broadcasting (IB) ministry to take a call on telecast of 'The Dirty Picture', the latter barred its telecast scheduled for Sunday. A ticker tape announcement on the channel just before 12 noon informed viewers that the movie could not be telecast due to "unavoidable circumstances".
Sources informed that the ministry had intimated to Sony channel on Saturday asking it to slot the Vidya Balan starrer The Dirty Picture, late at night. It stated that since the film was awarded a 'U/A' certificate, it was not suitable for the telecast during the day and evening hours. Even the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) was in favor of telecasting the 'U/A' certified movie only after 11pm when children supposedly go to sleep. The channel had reportedly received complaints from parents about the film containing bold scenes and double meaning dialogues, sources claimed.
Let's have a look on what our telly celebrities have to say on this decision:
Gurmeet Choudhary says that, "I do agree on the time slot but not on the issue that it had to be stopped from the screening, it just doesn't hold true!"
Debina Bonnerjee said that, "I do agree with the decision taken of not screening the movie, there should be an authority and audacity to be maintained! There should be a restriction on such Adult movies, as parents do not find it good going with such movies and the effect of it on their children!"
