Dibakar
Banerjee"s
much
talked-about
Love
Sex
Aur
Dhokha
went
before
the
censor
board
recently.
The
controversial
love
scene
showing
a
bare-backed
girl
on
top
of
a
man,
making
love,
has
been
told
to
be
blurred
on
screen.
In
other
words,
Dibakar"s
couple
will
be
seen
by
the
audience
making
love
as
two
blurred
figures.
The
director,
already
miffed
and
mired
in
what
he
sees
as
unnecessary
controversy,
refuses
to
be
enraged
even
if
so
many
recent
Hindi
films
have
had
graphic
love-making
scenes.
As
for
the
female
bare
back
during
a
love-making
scene,
the
censors
liberally
allowed
that
in
Rensil
D"Silva"s
Kurbaan
just
recently!
Says
Dibakar,
“We
had
submitted
a
DVD
of
the
film
to
the
Censor
Board
so
they"d
recommend
cuts
in
advance
and
avoid
delays.
The
censor
preview
recommendation
suggests
that
we
blur
the
sex
scene.
We
were
told
this
scene
was
too
graphic
and
needed
tempering.
There"s
no
way
the
censors
could
allow
the
love-making
scene.
We"ve
clearly
been
told
that
even
before
the
film
is
submitted
for
censoring."
When
asked
how
bare-backed
love-making
scenes
have
been
allowed
by
the
censors
recently
and
how
the
one
in
Love
Sex
Aur
Dhokha
(LSD)
has
been
asked
to
tone
down
even
before
the
film
is
submitted
to
the
censors,
the
director
chooses
to
smile
mysteriously.
“I"ve
been,
in
principle,
against
the
film
being
perceived
as
a
voyeur"s
delight.
Love
Sex
Aur
Dhokha
is
not
about
sex
sex
and
sex.
Those
who
expect
that
will
turn
away
disappointed."
However,
in
another
more
radical
cut,
all
reference
to
caste
in
a
love
story
between
a
low-caste
boy
and
a
high-caste
girl
has
been
removed
by
the
Censor
Board.
This
has
infuriated
Dibakar.
Says
the
director,
“This
completely
changes
the
perspective
of
my
story
since
now
the
caste-challenged
love
story
is
turned
into
a
poor-boy-rich-girl
romance.
This
is
not
what
I
intended."
Also,
the
song
“Tu
Nangi
Acchhi
Lagti
Hai",
which
was
modified
on
the
audio
cd
to
“Tu
Gandi
Achchi
Lagti
Hai",
has
now
been
similarly
modified
in
the
film
also.
Says
Dibakar,
“But
no
complaints.
Considering
the
controversial
content,
my
film
got
away
easily
with
little
cuts
and
an
'Adults" certificate."
