What the CBFC Didn’t Want You to Hear in ‘Angry Indian Goddesses’
Ref: http://www.thequint.com/entertainment/2015/12/04/what-the-cbfc-didnt-want-you-to-hear-in-angry-indian-goddesses
Behind the film Angry Indian Goddesses, is an angry Indian producer. Gaurav Dhingra is upset (and justifiably so) that his new film, which releases today, has been heedlessly mutilated by the now infamous Central Board of Film Certification.

What’s shocking is that the film, which has won awards at various film festivals abroad, was at first refused a certification by the CBFC here. “They rejected it,” he says. The Board was not willing to give it even an ‘Adults Only’ certificate. When asked for a reason, they simply said ‘the title of the film does not resemble anything that is there in the film’.
