Top filmmakers today attended a press conference to stand with Anurag Kashyap and support the film "Udta Punjab." Openly attacking Censor Board chief Pahlaj Nihalani, who ordered 89 cuts in the film and told the makers to remove all the references of Punjab from the film, directors and cast of the film raised some valid points on censorship!

We stumbled upon the original cut-list and it is rather disappointing. The censor's demands are totally baseless and clearly hint at the political pressure.

Apart from 13 categories that exist in the cut-list, here are some of the 'cuts' that censor board doesn't want the audience to see. Have a look!

1. Cut: Delete the signboard of Punjab in the beginning

2. Delete the name of cities like Punjab, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Tarn Taran and more (All reference of Punjab cities in the dialogues/songs, anywhere in the film should be removed)

3. From Song Number 1: Name of a drug (References to drug nowhere)

4. Words from song 3 (Delete the word 'Chitta' from the song)

6. Delete Abuses

7. Delete the word elections, MP, party, Party Worker, MLA, Punjab parliament(No references: no govt rep references (38 mins)

8. Song no:3 Delete the scene of a scratching Sardar.

9. Censor board wants long disclaimers like: The film focuses on the rising menace of drugs and the war against drugs and is an attempt effects of drugs. We acknowledge he battle against drugs being fought by govt and police but it can't be won unless people of India unite against this menace"
