So Ranveer Singh’s butt is finally on display. It had to be in a Yashraj film. When you are the biggest banner in Bollywood you can get away with bikini-clad heroines in every film (barring Dum Lagaa Ke Haisha) and now repeated bra-shots of the heroine (a lingerie peek in Baar Baar Dekho was censored) even a butt-shot of Ranveer Singh in Befikre.

Says disgusted critic Raja Sen, “It is just a matter of clout. If Mr Nihalani thinks it’s okay for people to kiss in Europe, why did he object to James Bond and Monica Bellucci kissing in Spectre? This CBFC has shown complete inconsistency and arbitrariness in their rulings. I have no problem with the inanity Mr Aditya Chopra shows in Befikre but everyone should be measured by the same yardstick.”
