Udta Punjab Denied Certification by CBFC Over Use of Abusive Language

When the first trailer of Udta Punjab released, people went gaga over the subject of the movie and its actors. But one did notice the use of expletives in the film and wondered how it would deal with CBFC. 

And things don’t seem to be fine for the Abhishek Chaubey film as it has courted controversy on Thursday with the Censor Board of Film Certification. The CBFC has refused certification to the movie for the use of abusive language. 

The Board’s decision has come a week after Punjab’s ruling party Shiromani Akali Dal had protested and expressed reservation over the film for the portrayal of Punjabis in the movie. Udta Punjab deals with the issue of drug abuse and stars Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Diljit Dosanjh in the lead and releases on June 17, 2016. 

We wonder what the team of Udta Punjab has to react to this.
