New Delhi: The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has finally cleared actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency for a U/A certification, but with 13 changes, many of which pertain to scenes found objectionable by Sikh groups for allegedly misrepresenting their community and faith.
From the removal of a scene where Sikhs are shown opening fire on a group of non-Sikhs in front of a bus to a dialogue attributed to Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a key figure in the growing separatist Khalistan movement at the time. Here is the list of cuts, insertions, and modifications sought by the Board to release the film in cinemas across the country:
Disclaimer
The revising committee of the CBFC, which re-examined the entire film in light of the demands made by Sikh groups, has asked for a disclaimer to be inserted at the beginning of the film, stating that the movie is “inspired by true events” and is a “dramatic transformation”. “We want it to be clear to the audience that this is a dramatised version of events so that everything presented in there is not taken for the absolute truth,” said a source, who did not wish to be identified.
