You may have heard about the committee headed by filmmaker Shyam Benegal that has been appointed to help revamp the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC, commonly referred to as the Censor Board). Now, a trio of Redditors, inspired by the Save The Internet campaign, have taken it upon themselves to make sure Benegal's committee succeeds in its endeavour.

The link to a website for a campaign called #SaveOurCinema, which sends a pre-written email out to the committee as per a call-for-action posted by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) in mid-January. The post asks for the "views of film viewers on the certification process being followed by ‪#‎CBFC‬ and suggestions if any within the ambit of the existing Act, Rules and guidelines which have withstood the scrutiny of various Hon’ble Courts, to enable them to finalize their recommendations."

On Saturday, upset by the number of cuts in the adult superhero comedy Deadpool, Bangalore-based Sharath C George started a Reddit thread about sending inputs to Benegal's revamp committee. "I had read about it in a news report," he said, in a phone conversation with HuffPost India.

Soon, the thread made it to Reddit India's front page and had gathered a large amount of support. Yasasvy Nanyam, a movie buff knowledgeable about censorship in India and currently a PhD student based in the United States, drafted the response. He then tagged another Redditor, Avinash Sajjanshetty, a Python developer from Bangalore, who coded the website.

"The whole thing was done overnight," said George. "We didn't even know each other's names till yesterday."
