Tees Maar Khan is Censor-bored

The Censor Board put the film through a near guillotine with 18 cuts. Director Farah Khan took it to the revising committee and has come out a winner

Tees Maar Khan is censored with a U/A certificate but not before some unwanted hiccups.

The film had been given some really uncalled for cuts by the Censor Board committee in Mumbai and Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder had to go to the revising committee to get the certificate for the film. The revising committee passed the film without much debate.

Our source said, “Some of the members at the censor board were unreasonable and demanded some unjustified cuts from the film. In fact they even asked the word Sheila to be removed from the song Sheila ki Jawani. Some of the other cuts involved scenes where Katrina Kaif’s naval was visible.

They even asked for the phrase `Maa ki aankh’ to be removed; Golmaal Returns had the same dialogue even in its promos barely a month ago. Some other words like tawaif, etc were also asked to be removed. Farah Khan did not accept these cuts and took the film to the revising committee in Delhi.

The committee of seven members saw the film on Thursday and did not find anything so earth-shattering in the film to warrant 18 cuts. The film was passed with only a couple of cuts and a passing certificate will be issued to the film early next week.”

Pankaja Thakur, Censor executive, said, “We are not giving any statements on Tees Maar Khan till the whole process ends. For us the process is not over yet.”

Farah and Shirish remained unavailable for comment. Still reeling from the ‘maar’ at the hands of the Censors, we presume.
