Sanskari censor: No certification for movie 'Sanskari' Pahlaj 'our job is to certify movies'

The release of filmmaker Prakash Jha’s upcoming production, 'Lipstick under my Burkha', starring Konkona Sen Sharma and Ratna Pathak Shah, has hit a roadblock after the Censor Board refused to certify the film.

Listing the reasons for denial of certificate, Central Board of Film Certification in a letter wrote, “the story is lady oriented, their fantasy above life. There are sexual scenes, abusive words, audio pornography and a bit sensitive touch about one particular section of society, hence film has been refused certification under guidelines".

The film’s director Alankrita Shrivastava criticised CBFC’s decision saying it is an “assault on women’s rights” and she will fight till the end to get her film released.

The film has won the Oxfam Award for the best film on Gender Equality at the Mumbai Film Festival and the Spirit of Asia Prize at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

This is not the first time Jha has faced problem with the censor board - the director was asked to make several cuts in the film and was also given an ‘A’ certificate. Jha later approached the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal and got a clean chit for the Priyanka Chopra-starrer Jai Gangajal.
