The exclusion of Nude, along with Malayalam film S Durga days before IIFI’s opening, had created an uproar after the I and B Ministry overruled the festival jury’s decision of screening the movies at the Panorama. Later, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who is also the chairman of Entertainment Society of Goa, the nodal agency to host the IFFI, had said Nude was rejected as they did not have the clearance from the censor board. Sanal Kumar Sasidharan’s S Durga was also not screened at the film festival even after getting a favourable verdict from the Kerala High Court as the CBFC asked the producers to resubmit the movie for certification.
