The list of banned words put forth by the Censor Board has now been out on hold. Read on to know more!
The controversial ‘objectionable’ and ‘abusive’ words list directed by Censor Board Pahlaj Nihalani’ has been reportedly put on hold. The new censor board which held a meeting decided to hold the ban on the 28-word list.
On February 13, 2015, a letter by Pahlaj Nihalani directed its regional officers not to issue certificates to films which use these words, which are abuses in Hindi and English, and it has also been specified that double meaning words, violence against women and glorification of bloodshed should not be allowed. Queried about it, Nihlani had said that it was issued only to bring clarity, especially to filmmakers so that last minute cuts are avoided.
The communication, which was also marked to producers’ association, came close on the controversy of Censor Board member Ashoke Pandit slamming the use of language by film personalities during a stand-up comedy show that became viral online.
Earlier, the Censor Board members had opposed the ban on ‘abusive’ words list and said that they were not involved in the decision making.
