Censor Board Cuts 3 Scenes From Prem Ratan Dhan Payo

First, the Telugu title of Salman Khan’s upcoming film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo faced trouble from the censor board and now the reports claims that the board has suggested three cuts in the Sooraj Barjatya directorial. According to a Mid-Day report, “CBFC took objection to the use of ‘rakhail’ (mistress) apart from two other scenes in the movie”. Reportedly, the makers of the film have adhered to the suggestions that were made.

“The two scenes that have been censored includes a Ram-Leela sequence which had a couple of old, Hindi melodies playing in the background. The scene plays out with the film’s title track and was interspersed with two old songs in some portions. The Censor Board felt it was not suitable to accompany the Ram Leela visuals. The other scene shows a person being hanged, but the examining committee wanted it to be a long shot. The makers have complied with all the suggestions”, suggests the report.

Since these types of suggestions have come forth for the first time, it is said that the makers of the film are in shock over the same. On the other side, Nandini Sardesai, who is a member of the Board revising committee has denied of the claim. She said, “Every film has to go to the examining committee first and if the makers do not agree with its verdict, they approach the revising committee. But it has not come to us. The examining committee can’t talk (about the issue) as people are not supposed to know who are part of that panel”. The Salman-Sonam starrer film is releasing on November 12.
