What is the name of the film?
Did you recognize the name of the film? If not then let us tell you. The name of this film was ‘Gunda’. The film’s director Kanti Shah’s manipulations with the Censor Board proved costly. For this reason, orders were given to remove the film from theatres.
Girls wrote letter to censor board
According to media reports, in the year 1998, some girls from a college in Mumbai planned to watch a film. They decided to watch a Gunda film. When she went to watch the film, she heard the vulgar dialogues and came out after watching half the film. After this, those girls wrote a letter to the Censor Board asking how this film with such lewd and obscene dialogues was released?
The Censor Board saw the film after receiving the letter. After this, he immediately ordered the removal of that film from theatres. Not only this, the Censor Board also took action against Kanti Shah. Actually, when a film is made, it is sent to the censor board. So that the Censor Board can see the film and give it a certificate. Could remove scenes from the film and make changes if needed.
Kanti Shah played a trick
Kanti Shah had sent this film to the Censor Board. The Censor Board had made some 40 cuts in the film. The Censor Board had said that once those changes were made, the film would be given a certificate as an adult film. Only after that this film will be released. Kanti Shah followed the entire process, but Kanti Shah had the original copy of the film. When it was time to release the film, Kanti Shah released the original copy of the film instead of the copy containing the cuts made by the Censor Board. This was the reason that the Censor Board had ordered the removal of that film.
