C.B. Kills Mukerji's 'Kamini' act in 'No One Killed Jessica'
Upcoming Bollywood film No One Killed Jessica is in the news for all the wrong reasons. Considering that the Rani Mukerji - Vidya Balan starrer is based on the real life incident of Delhi model Jessica Lal's murder case, it was bound to arouse controversies.
But reports in the media claim that while the content of No One Killed Jessica has been given the green signal by the members of the censor board, it is the lyrics of a song in the film which has come under the scanner.
According to the latest reports in the media, the word 'kamini', used in the song 'Aali Re Saali Re' from No One Killed Jessica has to be removed! In a statement to the media, director Rajkumar Gupta says that the production film has taken the decision to beep out the 'kamini' word from the song that has been picturised on actress Rani Mukerji in the film. However, Rajkumar Gupta does not sound pleased by the treatment meted out by the censor board in India towards No One Killed Jessica.
Elaborating on his disappointment, the second time director says that he is amused by the decision taken by the board members because the 'kamini' word has been a part of Hindi cinema even in the past. While a 2009 release was named Kaminey, no one is unaware of veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra's attachment with this particular word. Since time immemorial, Dharmendra has been mouthing dialogues which have the presence of 'kamini' and several other slangs in the Hindi language. All we can say is that the censor board has only been able to bring about unwarranted attention for No One Killed Jessica and this publicity may prove worthwhile post release!
