NEW DELHI: Udta Punjab shows 70% of the people in the State consume drugs. The movie puts entire Punjab in bad light.The movie, the way it is, cannot be cleared because it is against the guidelines of the CBFC to defame any person or community, said Central Board of Film Certification chief Pahlaj Nihalani defending the cuts he has issued in the movie Udta Punjab. He added that nearly “98 per cent of the movie is in Punjabi and based entirely in Punjab.” “It is not a Hindi film at all.It has defamatory references to people in Ludhiana, Jalandhar and other cities of Punjab. It paints all punjabis in bad light. Such a movie if released will a bring name to the community that is present everywhere in the world,” he said, adding all cuts were issued after there was consensus among all panel members.Nihalani also took on film maker Anurag Kashyap , co-producer of the film who on Tuesday compared the CBFC to dictatorial State of North Korea and said anybody opposing the movie is actually promoting drugs. “What dictatorship is he talking about? Nearly eight movies of his have been released in the last one year.Not once has he come here. Every time he creates noise by creating such unwanted controversy to get attention to get his movies running,” Nihalani said, Sources in the censor board said the film is yet to be given a formal certificate and only verbal cuts were conveyed to the film makers on Monday.“The move was supposed to be cleared with an A grade and 89 cuts. We had communicated orally to the film makers who had agreed to come back with the cuts but they went to the media instead,” a member said. Among the cuts issued are those on the name of a dog called Jackie Chan. “We have asked them to take off chan and call the dog just Jackie,” a member said, adding that a line in the movie that said, Punjab di Zameen banjar aur aulad kanjar hai...(The land of Punjab is barren and its children are illegitimate) had caused much uproar among the panel members.“There is no pressure on us. They can go to the tribunal or court now. Our only concern is the entire movie is completely based on Punjab. All the characters are negative. It will hurt the whole community,” Nihalani said.The film, starring actors Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt is based on drug abuse in Punjab. In a review presided over by Nihalani himself the committee recommended to remove all references made to Punjab. Meanwhile ET reached out to the office of Sukhbir Singh Badal, deputy CM of Punjab. “We welcome the decision of the censor board. Look at the song Chittave of the movie that was released recently.It eulogises drugs, celebrates it as part of cult living. This is harmful for the entire country. The title of the movie itself maligns three crore Punjabis. Delhi has five times more drug addicts than Punjab. So tomorrow will they make Udti Dilli?,” Arun Malhotra, OSD to Punjab deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal said.
