Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra starrer BBD has been granted a ‘U/A’ certificate by the Censor Board. 

 

This certification came only after the Baar Baar Dekho team adhered to the board’s orders of cutting two scenes from the movie. 

 

According to reports, the filmmakers were asked to cut a ‘shot of a bra’ and a reference to 'Savita Bhabhi' - the comic book porn personality - to receive a clean chit. 

 

Furious members of the ‘Baar Baar Dekho team challenged the board’s decision, questioned if the world was still in the Victorian age, where lingerie or bikinis could never be spoken about in public. 

 

Recently, filmmaker, Anurag Kashyap was involved in a controversy over the release of Udta Punjab. The CBFC had initially wanted to cut a large number of scenes from the movie, claiming obscenity and defamation. dta Punjab filmmakers had approached the court, which ruled in their favour. The film was finally passed with just one cut.

 

Now that the two cuts have been made, Baar Baar Dekho will hit theatres on September 9. The film has been directed by Nitya Mehra.
