Criticising the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for suggesting cuts to Bengali film Saheb Bibi Golaam and several other films, National Award-winning filmmaker Anjan Dutta said wrong people were occupying posts in board. “There are wrong people occupying chairs at censor board. People who don’t know differences between a kiss and slap. People who are cinema illiterate,” Anjan said.

The director, whose films have faced censor hurdle in the past, was talking at the trailer launch of Saheb Bibi Golaam. “Those who should have rubber stamps in hand are wielding scissors. We need to be less prudish. “We are fed up with the hackneyed tales of daughter-in-law, mother-in-law strifes and tales of divorce. We are getting an overdose of such relationship tales. Let’s go divert a bit, Let’s be radical. let’s go into the darker sides of our lives. No point in being evasive,” Anjan said.
