The Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) has directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to grant an 'A certificate to "Lipstick Under My Burkha", which was denied a certificate for its sexual content earlier this year.

The FCAT has directed that the film be granted certification after "voluntary and some additional cuts and deletions".


"Lipstick Under My Burkha" was deemed too "lady oriented" in content and according to the censor board, it is laced with sexual scenes and abusive words.

FCAT headed by Manmohan Sarin, found merit in the submissions made by director Alankrita Shrivastava and the film's producer Prakash Jha against the orders of the CBFC's Examining and Revising Committees, read a statement from FCAT.
