If the year 2016 was a movie, it would have been quite a dramatic one. With twists, unexpected deaths, and economic cricis ensuing right at the fag end of the year- the year ensured that we remain surprised throughout.

In Bollywood, the year began with Wazir. Farhan Akhtar, Amitabh Bachchan-starrer received mix reaction from both critics and audiences alike but while the film did average at the box office, it was its tryst with the censor board that made more news.

In 2016, Censor Board played the biggest villain for Bollywood. It had already received flak for its unnecessary diktats the year before when several films fell prey to its new form of censorship. And the board just continued to play the over bearing, authoritative big daddy who would just not let his kids (read progressive storylines, new age realistic cinema) think or act freely.
