rkt.india Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Censor Board will no longer be about censorship: Minister in A A From L to R: Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Gulzar, Shabana Azmi and Vidya Balan The minister also said that Pahlaj Nihilani, who as been reprimanded for hijacking the Board, may be shown the door in next few months. The Central Board of Film Certification will not play the role of a censor, instead confining itself to certifying and rating films, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore told a gathering of actors, directors, producers and Bollywood elders at a closed-door meeting in a suburban hotel on Monday evening. According to a person present at the session, Rathore also hinted that the Board's chairperson, Pahlaj Nihlani, who has been pugnacious and harshly critical of the industry, could be "replaced in the next few months". The minister is reported to have told those assembled that the centre was considering a plan to alter the name and identity of the Board. Directors Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Vishal Bharadwaj, Gulzar and Sudhir Mishra, producers Kiran Rao, Ekta Kapoor, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Mukesh Bhatt and Ritesh Sidhwani, and actors Vidya Balan, Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone were among those present at the hotel. The person privy to the proceedings told Mumbai Mirror that Anushka Sharma was among the most vocal at the meeting. The actor, who turned producer with the recently released NH10 - she also starred in the film - recounted the harrowing time she had obtaining clearance from the Board's Revising Committee. Others joined voice, protesting the government's "unfortunate" choice of Chairperson. Rathore reportedly responded that he had "reprimanded" Nihlani for "hijacking the board" and warned him that he had "no business being in the Examining or the Revising Committee". "If a scene is required in a film, I say you keep it. Don't take any cuts, I promise you won't face any problems in the future," Rathore reportedly told the gathering. During the proceedings, Gulzar, well-regarded as a voice of sanity as well as deeply respected for his contribution to Indian cinema, proposed that the film fraternity be allowed to elect its own CBFC chief instead of the Ministry appointing its candidate as chairperson. Rathore was in agreement, the person at the meeting said - the minister conceded that this could be a "realistic possibility". However, when Vishal Bharadwaj demanded to know if the Ministry had erred in electing Nihlani to head the Board, Rathore deflected. "His [Nihlani's] personal views are not that of the Board's," he maintained. Rathore ended the day's business by cautioning those gathered that "things cannot change overnight" but that "Delhi was actively working towards bringing in a new Cinematograph Act" and getting a Board appointment online. "Ultimately it's our responsibility," he said. Rathore also said the Board would be told to ignore the contentious "cuss list". In February, the CBFC circulated a catalogue of invective that it deemed inappropriate for Indian audiences and directed that several sections be excised from movies scheduled for theatrical release. The industry reacted swiftly, blaming Nihlani of being excessively repressive, high-handed, and divorced from reality. Rathore had chastised the chairperson and indicated that the ministry's views differed from those held by Nihlani. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/mumbai/cover-story/Censor-Board-will-no-longer-be-about-censorship-Minister/articleshow/46590040.cms
coffee_rules Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/pahlaj-nihalanis-musical-gift-to-prime-minister-modi/20150806.htm Pahlaj Nihalani is a very busy man these days. Along with performing his duties as the Censor Board chief, the filmmaker took out time to record a song for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Written by well known Muslim lyricist Hina Khan and composed by Ishwar Kumar, the song is titled Mera desh hai mahaan mera desh hai jawaan. The song was recorded over the past week at Kailash Studios in Mumbai and addresses the country's youth as the architects of Modi’s dream India. Notice how the religion is made known to people nowadays by journalists.!

Sachin=GOD Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 The censor board has refused to certify a documentary film on the 2014 election campaign in Varanasi, where Narendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal were the star rivals, saying it "pokes fun" at Modi. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1150829/jsp/nation/story_39687.jsp#.VeGjeWaXfCR Such petty people. The PM can go around the world and criticize his opponents (something which no other PM has done) but if a National Award winning director makes a documentary on his election, it will be banned if it is felt that the film shows him in bad light.
asterix Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 ^ why didn't a national award winner director make a movie on election campaign of any other PM? Everybody wants to cash in Modi...
amiret Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 The censor board has refused to certify a documentary film on the 2014 election campaign in Varanasi, where Narendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal were the star rivals, saying it "pokes fun" at Modi. One clip that apparently raised the red flag was a reference by an Independent candidate to a "56-inch" chest .....one was a clip showing an Independent transgender candidate Kamla Kinnar in which she says she has a "chest wider than Modi's 56 inch". Completely agree with the Censor board. We cannot have a situation where everybody makes competing and silly exaggerated claims about their own physical proportions and thereby diminishing the PM in the eyes of his cheerGirls and hurting their precious sentiments. Govt should also take steps to amend the Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976 and make 1 inch equivalent to 1 cm . Henceforth all tape measures that mock our glorious Prime Minister should be destroyed.
