Delhi HC feels CBFC has become too generous in clearing films

23 Mar 2013

Responding to petitions filed against films like Dabangg 2 and Race 2 for alleged vulgar content, the Delhi High Court slammed the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for being too generous in clearing films.

A bench comprising Justice V.K.Jain said that recently the CBFC has been very lenient in passing or giving certificate to almost every film without any objections. However while hearing the PIL of lawyer Sanjay Kumar seeking a ban of ' Fevicol Se ' item song from Dabangg 2, the bench ordered him to delete names of Kareena Kapoor, Arbaaz Khan, Sajid-Wajid from an array of parties and file a fresh memo of parties.

The bench also refused to stay the release of DVD's of Dabangg 2 and Race 2 and their further screening on TV channels. The bench added that the content of films should not be degraded and should be such that the whole family can comfortably watch together.
