The Information & Broadcasting Ministry has ensured that movie buffs do not get to watch Ravi Jadav's Nude and Sanal Kumar Sasidharan's Sexy Durga (retitled as S Durga) at the 48th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa, later this month. They were among the 26 feature films that were chosen by a 13-member jury for IFFI's Indian Panorama section. But the final list released by the I & B Ministry did not feature the two movies.

What’s more, Nude, the story of a woman's struggle for survival in Mumbai as a nude model, was the jury's unanimous choice as the opening film of the Indian Panorama. Now, a statement issued by the ministry says that Vinod Kapri's Hindi film Pihu would kick off the screenings.
