Here's your chance to catch up on censored flicks

New Delhi: Remember how the television screening of The Dirty Picture was stalled despite 59 cuts for its ‘adult’ content? And the channel was asked to screen it post 11pm?  If you don’t want that to happen with movies like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’,  with reel violence and cuss words et al, then the ‘Cut-Uncut’ movie festival is for you, the Times of India reports. Organised by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry, the festival is like a blessing for movies that have fallen prey to the Censor Board’s scissors. All those scenes which were marked ‘objectionable’, will be screened at the festival, celebrating 100 years of Bollywood cinema.

Apart from Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, the festival will screen the 1993 classic ‘Karma’, tracing the history of adult scenes in Hindi cinema and Yash Chopra’s ‘Dharmaputra’, on the subject of religion. The festival is a part of celebrations being organised in collaboration with Central Board of Film Certification, Films Division, National Film Archives of India and the Film and Television Institute of India. The ministry also plans to screen Throw of Dice, a 1929 silent movie based on a famous Mahabharata episode. There will also be a live music performance by Ustad Nishad Khan, apart from screening of documentaries and an exhibition of rare film posters.
