Kaminey runs into trouble

The undercurrent of darkness in Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminey scares the censor board; they fear thatanything less than an A certificate will not be appropriate

Kaminey

The certificate awarded to a film by the censor board impacts its collection. Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminey has run into trouble with the censors and even after the revising committee saw the film, they refused to give it the U/A certificate that he was hoping for. The options available to Vishal are that he can to go to the tribunal or seek legal help for his film. Apparently, the film has been given an A certificate due to its heavy dose of violence.

Our source said, "The examining committee saw the film on Tuesday afternoon and thought that the film had too much violence. They suggested major cuts. However, Vishal is not keen on brutally chopping the film and neither does he want an A certificate.

So, the film was sent to the revising committee where Sharmila Tagore, the Chairperson, watched it with a panel of members in Delhi yesterday afternoon. However, after watching the film, it has been decided that the film will indeed have an A certificate. Vishal's request for a U/A certificate has fallen on deaf ears. Vishal now has to decide if he wants to go ahead and challenge the censor board's decision, or be happy with the A certificate."

The objections arose mainly due to the dark theme of the film. Another source from the production house, UTV, said, "There are some cuts in the film. The abusive language is nothing to be worried about as it is marginal. Even the cuts have been made to be politically correct in certain places. However, the darkness of the film and the inherent violence, even though not onscreen, is felt powerfully due to the theme. The film is based on the underworld and the very nature of violence in the film is what the censors objected to."

yeah exactly that abhay deol interview was very interesting.

first of all this cuts business makes no sense. atleast adults should be able to decide what they want to watch and what they don't want to watch. secondly, we need a comprehensive rating system rather than a generic U,U/A,A system.

Omkara also got an A certificate right?

censor board bhi nah..no knowledge...
Voilence movies are watched by youngsters only..not by grannies...
So are the high tech Harry potter kinds..so why give it A just becasue of voilence. Youjust have to tturn on the TV and you see all kind of psychothriller news...
This is not good....If SEx can get UA then voilenc should get it too.

OK! I am IRRITATED and BADLYY!! Although I am A. Well, If Mrs. Tagore has something to do with it then Shame on you Tagore. Just bcoz her son has his film released and for that if shes scared then Very Unprofessional Tagore Aunty. I dont think Ghajini got an A, then YYY Kaminey??
Height of Hypocrasy!!!! I guess it just proves Kaminey is a threat/challenge to LAK! I hate you ST if you did it for the reason above.

I don't remember it word by word but what he said was:
Are the Indna movies& censor board opening up - To that he said I don't know if the moveis are getting bold or CB is opening up. But it is true that censor Board has different rules for different people adn actors. You see a movie with a certain actor pass the CB even though they have bad language or sex but then they give certain films A even if they have a word "Kuta" or "F" in it. He also mentioned that his movie Manorama had only one word adn CB asked them to cut the word and then also gave it a "A". While many movies are worse than that. CB favors certain groups and actors...
Which by the way is very true....Did
Ghazini get "A"
KI get A
NY get A (nude scene)
and so many others....
Just beacsue it was said that Kaminey is making Saif little uncomfortable and Saif was being associated with it and his mommy is on the jury then it certainly do raise many questions....it was also said that Sharmila put her foot down to get Saif national award for Kal ho na ho.....She was on the jury that time.
