Director Refuses Cuts for 'Doosra' Adult Certificate
17 Oct
Summary
- Director Abhinay Deo accepted an 'A' rating for 'Doosra' without cuts.
- A scene with a child and an adult magazine was left untouched.
- The film 'Doosra' is set to release on October 23rd.
The film 'Doosra' has garnered attention for its unique storytelling and its director's firm stance on censorship. Director Abhinay Deo has accepted an 'A' certificate for the movie, opting against any cuts requested by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
During the censor screening, Deo was offered a U/A rating in exchange for removing three scenes. However, he proposed accepting an 'A' rating if the film could pass without any modifications. The CBFC agreed to this, leaving all shots untouched, including a scene where a child is discovered with an adult magazine featuring a nude photograph. This is notable as the CBFC often mandates cuts for similar content.
Deo explained that the scenes flagged by the censors, such as the magazine shot and a reference to the Babri Masjid incident, were crucial to the film's narrative. He expressed his reluctance to alter the film, stating, "I didn't want to touch the film." While acknowledging the 'A' rating might deter teenagers, he clarified that the film's themes are relevant to them. 'Doosra' is slated for its theatrical release on October 23rd.
