‘Delhi Belly,’ hailed by movie critics and industry people as modern generation flick is receiving notices from judiciary. The kind of filthy language (Chootiya, Bahan Chooth, Bulla etc and explicit contented scenes) might have been liked by a section of audience but others feel that ‘Delhi Belly’ has degraded the standards of Hindi movie making.
On this same issue, Aamir Khan Productions, Department of Information and Broadcasting and Censor Board of Film Certification were issued notices by the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court challenging the public exhibition censor certification issued to ‘Delhi Belly.’
The notices were issued on a writ petition seeking direction to ‘quash’ the certification. Court has asked the respondents to file a reply in four weeks time. Petitioners alleged that film, starring Imran Khan in lead role and produced by Aamir Khan had indecent, immoral, abusive language and the same trend is being permitted to continue. This is clear violation of section 5 B of the Cinematograph Act.
