The censor board seems to be throwing surprises at the film industry - pleasant ones for some and unpleasant ones for the others.
Two big upcoming films were examined by the Censor board this week and the committee's decision has surprised many. Apparently Akshay Kumar and John Abraham's Desi Boyz has been granted an A certificate while Vidya Balan's portrayal of a sex-symbol in The Dirty Picture has been passed without any cuts.
Says a source, "The makers of Desi Boyz were expecting a U/A certificate since it's a big-budget film and with Akshay and John in the cast they were largely targeting the family audience and youth as well. Unfortunately for them, the film has been given an Adult certification". Akshay Kumar and John Abraham plays male strippers in the film and perhaps that might have resulted into the board's decision.
On the other hand the makers of The Dirty Picture were a bit nervous about the censorship. "While they were clearly expecting an adult certificate (with Vidya Balan's liberal dose of skin-show), they were a bit apprehensive if the Censor board would ask them for any cuts". The film has also been in controversy with Silk Smitha's brother filing case against wrong portrayal of her late sister in the film. However the censor did not see any problem and the film has been passed without any cuts.
