Sorry if I’m gonna sound rude in my next line but In Your Face, CBFC! Okay, maybe that’s one emotion a lot of us wanted to say it for a long time now. The Censor Board already wrecked a lot of our favourite films by using their scissorhands skills but looks like Udta Punjab managed to miss out from their clutches. Before the release itself, the film had a lot of buzz of how dark and twisted it would be. However, suddenly Mr Nihalani and his team had an epiphany where they decided to chop off most of the aesthetics of the film. Thank god the film flew out of CB’s nest!

When the 89 cuts bomb fell on the production house, they immediately decided to take the matter to the court and get justice from them. With Anurag Kashyap‘s aggressive approach towards avoiding censorship and Pahlaj Nihalani’s take on getting a lot of things edited, the matter went to the High Court. A sessions court was held yesterday where they heard both the sides of the issue. However, they asked CB to justify the reasons behind censoring the points mentioned. The hearing was again held today and the film just received clean chit with only one scene to be edited! The scene where Shahid Kapoor urinates on the crowd during a concert was told to be removed while the other points stated by the CB was told unnecessary.

Time for celebration Udta Punjab team! Looks like you can now fly high! Although the verdict will be pronounced on Monday i.e. 13th June. Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below. And stay tuned to this space as we bring fresh updates on the film!
