Jab baat aati hai film release karne ki, tab ek shabd jo charcha mein aata hai, woh hai Censor Board. Yeh ek prakriya hai jo ab filmmakers ke liye ek sar dard ban chuki hai. Iske peeche do karan hain. Pehla – Bina certification ke, koi bhi film audience tak nahi pahunch sakti. Aur doosra, yeh prakriya makers ke liye bahut pareshani ka karan ban rahi hai. Yeh isliye kyunki ab Censor Board ki hastakshep badh gayi hai. Aam taur par kisi na kisi film ke saath iski dikkat aati hai.
Chaliye, Shahid Kapoor ki ‘Teri Baat Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ se shuru karte hain. Jo haal hi mein Censor Board ne U/A certificate diya. Par isse pehle, is film mein kayi scenes par scissors ka istemal kiya gaya tha. Ek intimate scene ko 25 percent chhota karne ke liye kaha gaya tha. Jabki, kayi intimate scenes ko kata gaya. Isse pehle bhi, yeh har film ke saath ho raha tha. Chahe Shahrukh Khan ki ‘Dinky’ ho ya Hrithik Roshan ki ‘Fighter’. Kayi scenes film se bahar nikal diye jaate hain. Chaliye, jaante hain un films ke baare mein jo Censor Board ki censorship ki wajah se bekaar ho gayi.
5 Films Suppressed by Censor Board, Denied Release Due to Controversial Content
1. Ghallughara
Yeh film Diljit Dosanjh ki hai. Iska naam hai ‘Ghallughara’. CBFC ne is film par 21 cuts lagaye. Aur phir mujhe certificate mila. Picture ki kahani Sikh insaniyat ke karyakarta par thi, jo Jaswant Singh Khalda the. Diljit Dosanjh Jaswant ka kirdaar nibha rahe the, jo Sikh ke liye kaam karte the. Film taiyar thi, par certification ka daura aane par mamla atka. Censor Board ne kaha ki ye dialogues aur kuch hisse delete kar diye gaye, kyun ki ye hinsa ko badha sakte hain. Yeh ek aise stage tak pahunch gaya tha ki title badalne ki baat ho gayi.
2. Udta Punjab
Yaad hai Shahid, Kareena Kapoor aur Alia Bhatt ki ‘Udta Punjab’? Yeh film 2016 mein aayi thi. Ismein Punjab ki kahani dikhayi gayi thi, jo pehle kabhi saamne nahi aayi thi. Abhishek Chaubey ne ek sharabi Tommy ki kahani taiyar ki thi. Par censor board ne is film ko poori tarah se bigaad diya. Iske liye ek ya do nahi balki 94 wajah thi. Aap bhi shayad is sankhya ko sunkar hairaan honge lekin yeh ho gaya tha. 94 cuts film mein ki gayi thi. Ismein se ek wajah yeh bhi thi ki ‘Punjab’ shabd ko title se hata diya gaya.
Shuru mein Censor Board ne certification dena inkar kar diya tha. Par makers ne mamle ko adalat mein le gaye. Iske baad Bombay High Court ne CBFC ko aadesh diya. Tabhi film ko A certificate mila. Magar rukawat nahi ruki, jab film release se pehle hi leak ho gayi. Kaha gaya tha ki kisi ne Censor Board se kiya tha yeh. Is film se bahut ummeed thi, lekin uski online leak ne is par asar dala.
3. OMG 2
Akshay Kumar ki ‘OMG 2’ ko pichle saal release kiya gaya tha. Is film mein 11 August ko Kanti Sharan Mudgal yaani Pankaj Tripathi ki kahani dikhayi gayi thi. Yeh film sex education par bahut prakash dal rahi thi. Ant mein, is film mein Bhagwan aur sex education ka angle lagana Censor Board ko samasya ho sakti thi. Is mamle mein, film mein kul milake 27 sudhaar kiye gaye. Magar certification dene ke baad bhi A certificate mila. Chaliye jaante hain inme kya badlav kiye gaye.
Kya badlav kiye gaye? Shiv ji ke kirdaar ko badal diya gaya, samne ki nangi scenes ko hata diya gaya, jahan ‘High Court’ shabd ka istemal hua tha, usko bhi hata diya gaya aur ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ dialogue jaise bahut kuch badal diya gaya.
4. Mohalla Assi
Yeh kahani Banaras ki hai, jo 1988 se shuru hoti hai. Ismein agle 8 saalon ka safar dikhaya gaya hai. Film ka nirmaan Chandraprakash Dwivedi ne kiya tha. Ismein lead role mein Sunny Deol the. Baaki abhineta Sakshi Tanwar, Saurabh Shukla, Ravi Kishan aur Mukesh Tiwari the. Bahut vichar-vimarsh ke baad, 2012 mein ise release karne ki taiyariyan ho gayi thi. Ab isse pehle makers ko Censor Board ka daura paar karna tha. Yahan par mamla atka. Jab picture CBFC tak pahunchi, toh usne ise ban kar diya. Iska karan tha film mein galat bhasha ka istemal.
Film ke makers ne is Censor Board ke faisley ke khilaaf adalat mein jaane ka faisla kiya. Do saal ki lambi jung bhi ladhi gayi. Is beech mein film online leak bhi ho gayi. Saal 2017 mein, Delhi High Court ki faisla is film ke baare mein aayi. Usne isko clearance diya. Ek cut ke saath pass bhi kiya gaya. Aur A certificate bhi mila. Magar kai acchi filmein Censor Board ke scissors ke karan bigad gayi.
5. Paanch
Is list mein antim film hai crime thriller ‘Paanch’. Yeh film Anurag Kashyap ne likhi aur produce ki thi. Magar kya aap jaante hain ki yeh film Censor Board ne ban kar di thi. Censor Board ne is crime aur adult film ko samaj ke liye ek khatra bataya tha. Iske pee
che ek aur wajah thi. Yeh wajah thi ki film ko submit karne ke ek saal aur aadha baad, Censor Board ne makers ko ek list di thi. Is list mein bataya gaya tha ki film mein kya badlav kiye jaayein. Producer ko badlav karne ke liye paisa chahiye tha, lekin woh samay par paisa jama nahi kar paye.
Us samay toh 2-3 crore bhi bahut bada rakam tha. Jo bhi paisa tha, woh picture banane mein istemal ho gaya tha. Koi bhi us par nivesh karne ke liye taiyar nahi tha. Aise mein, Censor Board ke karan film bekaar ho gayi.
In panch films ki kahaniyaan dikhate hain ki Censor Board ke niyantran ke daayre mein rehte hue bhi filmmakers ko apni kahani ko saamne lane mein kitni dikkatein aati hain. Yah sabit karta hai ki film industry mein niyam aur prakriyaon ka bada mahatva hai, lekin samay-samay par is par vyapak vichar karna bhi avashyak hai.
