After Shyam Benegal gave a thumbs up to Abhishek Chaubey's Udta Punjab, the makers of the film have another reason to rejoice as Bombay High Court has stood by creativity and asked CBFC to give reasons for suggesting 89 cuts.

Justice SC Dharmadhikari was stunned about the entie hue and cry on the part of CBFC for calling the film anti-Punjab. He questioned the Censor Board, "Has drug menace never been portrayed on celluloid? Some may be crude, while some may be artistic. How does this signboard insult anyone?"

On Wednesday (June 8), producers of Udta Punjab moved the Bombay High Court against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for advising 89 cuts and giving an A certificate to the film.
