Sad! Lipstick Under My Burkha Gets Rejected By The CBFC With No Certification

Controversial film Lipstick Under My Burkha gets rejected by the CBFC and is left high & dry with no certification. Prakash Jha is miffed with the CBFC's decision & vows to fight back.

The Censor Board is back to square one with its 'sanskaari' moral high values and has rejected Prakash Jha's upcoming controversial film 'Lipstick Under My Burkha' and left it high and dry with no certification. The reason the CBFC decided not to certify the film is quite shocking, as the board stated, "The story is lady oriented." Pretty ridiculous, isn't it? A leading tabloid revealed the statements from the CBFC which read as, "The story is lady oriented, their fantasy above life. There are contanious sexual scenes, abusive words, audio pornography and a bit sensitive touch about one particular section of society, hence film refused under guidelines 1(a), 2(vii), 2(ix), 2(x), 2(xi), 2(xii) and 3(i)."

Film-maker Prakash Jha is furious that his film has not been certified and said, "As a country, we must encourage freedom of expression but the CBFC refusing to certify films that tell uncomfortable stories discourages filmmakers from pushing the envelope. Films should challenge the status quo which is what Lipstick Under My Burkha perhaps does and I believe our audience deserve to watch it."
