‘Begum Jaan’ Gets 12 Major Cuts; Vidya Balan Not Allowed To Abuse
Sorry, but you won’t have the pleasure of hearing Vidya Balan talk dirty in her new film Begum Jaan.
Playing the madame of a brothel, cussing and abusing were a part of the
Balan-esque lexicon in this film. However the CBFC has stepped in to
scrub the actress’ mouth clean.
In
spite of being certified for an ‘Adult’ viewership and the brave
nonchalant declarations of the film’s director about “no cuts”, Begum Jaan,
the forthcoming film by Bengali director Srijit Mukherjee about a
brothel on the border under threat of being torn apart by the partition
of India, has been censored and slashed in a major way.
Several of the scenes have been gravely curtailed. These
include a lengthy lovemaking scene and a sequence showing communal
carnage on a bus.
Curiously in Raj Kahini ,the original Bangla version of Begum Jaan, Rituparna Sengupta, who played Vidya Balan’s character, was allowed to say a lot of the above words.
Is it okay to abuse in regional languages and not okay in the national language?
