Not surprised, I feel vested interests could have intervened to block its release under the pretext of the movie being too abusive since it deals with such a sensitive electoral issue especially when elections are due in Punjab in less than a year's time.
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.
