After facing stiff resistance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the Hollywood comedy, Sex Tape, starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, has finally got the green signal. The film will release across India on October 17.The film was to open on August 29. The publicity campaign was about to be flagged off when the Examining Committee rejected the film (Mirror, August 6). The producers then appealed to the Revising Committee. They decided not to go to the Tribunal if they got the thumbs down from the Revising Committee too.The bone of contention was the scenes involving both male and female nudity. Now the Revising Committee has passed the film after cutting two steamy lovemaking sequences.Explaining the edits, senior member of the Revising Committee, Nandini Sardesai said: “The CBFC is a board to certify films, not ban them. If we had to pass Sex Tape there was no other way out. We did our job to the best of our abilities. The two sex scenes-one before the titles roll and the other before the end credits-were uncalled for. Moreover, they were over the top."Sardesai added that the 'A' certification is a clear indication that children shouldn't see this film. “Frankly even I was embarrassed when I was watching it. Despite the cuts, the film is still very explicit, “ said Sardesai.Sex Tape is the story of a couple whose sex life has been reduced to zero. To put the relationship back on track they decide to make a video of themselves trying out every sex position in one marathon three-hour session.But soon they discover that the video is no longer private.Manoj Desai, owner of Gaiety-Galaxy and Maratha Mandir, says that he will screen the film in his theatres, albiet reluctantly.“There is nothing much on the anvil before Happy New Year, which opens on October 24,“ he reasoned.Anand Vishal, Head of Operations, Fun Cinemas, added: “We will have to make sure that kids below 18 years are not allowed into the theatres."
