While cracking the whip on the censor board of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the Kerala High Court ordered it to take immediate decision on the controversial film Ka Bodyscapes. A group of top members including CBFC chief Pahlaj Nahalani flew down to Thiruvananthapuram on Friday to review the film. The court has given the board a week for the job.

Ka Bodyscapes, directed by Jayan Cherian, has been running into rough waters since a year and a half after the regional certification board refused it a certification last year in April after which the Kerala-based filmmaker moved the High Court, challenging the decision. The High Court then ordered the apex body of CBFC to review the movie.

On July 25, the Kerala High Court rapped the CBFC for contempt of court and ordered the review of the movie within a week. This was the third such time-bound order by the High Court in the last one year in this case.

According to sources, the board was split after watching the film yesterday. "Some suggest the film be shown with cuts while others want it banned," a source said. The board is yet to take a final call.

One of the objections raised by the certification board was the manner in which the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was portrayed in the film.
