Rani Mukherji's Mardaani
which was released on August 22 had a good start at the Box Office.
Mardaani movie will no longer be released in Pakistan thought the
Pakistan's Censor Board give it an A certificate, they have demanded to
cut some major scenes and that was not accepted by Yash Raj Films.
Pakistan’s
Censor Board have found some scenes objectionable which includes scenes
showing human trafficking, teenage girls being auctioned off and some
police interrogation sequences.
Ek Tha Tiger was the first movie of Yash Raj film which was banned in Pakistan
as it was allegedly featured anti-Pakistan sentiments and Mardaani would
be the second Yash Raj film which is not going to be released in
Pakistan.
A source
stated that “Pakistan’s Censor Board saw the film and gave it an A
certificate. Besides that, they also asked for several changes to be
made; they asked for around seven cuts and demanded that certain scenes
be blurred. The film’s creative team felt that this was robbing the film
of its essence. They didn’t want these changes to distort the film’s
message and dilute it. As a result, they have not agreed to the cuts and
the film will not release in Pakistan."
“Yes, it
is the film’s adult content that got in the way. There were too many
deletions for any sane person to accept it. So it was rejected for
public exhibition,” said Rehmat K Fazli the Pakistani distributor.
