Mumbai: Popular director Zoya Akhtar who directed movies like ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ and ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ has lashed out at censor board.
Zoya Akhtar who directed movies like ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ and ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ has lashed out at censor board. Censors are recently facing more heat from all sides. Right from the chopping of Kissing scene in ‘Spectre’ and ‘Tamasha’, the censor board faces bad criticism.
Recently Prakash Jha took a hit against critics. He said censors were so mean for muting the word ‘Saala’. Now Zoya Akhtar has said censor’s work as ‘Bizzare’. Zoya Akhtar while having an interaction with audience at Kolkata Literary Meet said, “The censoring has became so buzzare, because every time the government changes, the morality changes.
So it doesn’t make sense. We have to enforce an law that if it’s an adult film, then children don’t go and watch the film, which happens everywhere in our country.
Only Parents have the responsibility to know what their Children should not watch. Making n Universal movie or Adult movie is up to the film makers. I don’t believe in censorship at all. I think it is a certification body. I think it has to be classified.”
