Censor board often uses its scissors on Bollywood films, rather generously. And it comes as a surprise when certain films with bold posters, glide through their scanner and make it to the general public.
There are times when a film gets a U/A or ‘Adult’ certificate and yet the censor board chops off larger chunks, because according to them, the film has more adult content than Indian masses can digest. The posters of such films speak for their above 18 certification.
But there are also times when some movies are devoid of any adult content but have posters that speak a different language, often misleading the audience.
