CBFC Orders 20 Cuts To Pahlaj Nihalani’s ‘Rangeela Raja’, Happy Netizens Call It Karma

Pahlaj Nihalani’s term as the Chief of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) was like a nightmare. It isn’t like Prasoon Joshi has converted that nightmare into a dream. But Nihalani’s regression was much worse. From butchering ‘Deadpool’ to ‘Udta Punjab‘ and more, the man knew no bounds. However, thankfully, his seemingly never-ending run came to an end.

Soon after his exit from the CBFC, Pahlaj began another tirade. He alleged Smriti Irani of sacking him. He produced a so-called erotic thriller titled ‘Julie 2’. And now, after all that ruckus, it looks like Karma has paid him a visit.

Recently, Pahlaj Nihalani accused the present CBFC of proposing 20 cuts to his movie, ‘Rangeela Raja’, which stars Govinda. Additionally, he has filed a complaint against the CBFC at the Bombay High Court.

Netizens who had to watch Pahlaj’s version of the films they were so eager to see, laughed at the irony of this situation.

6. Soan Papdi here means unnecessary cuts.

That's how Karma works. If you give Soan Papdi to others, you get Soan Papdi in return. https://t.co/yeGAo4cMob

10. Smiling and Pahlaj don’t go together.

Not that I expect much of a sense of humor from the former chief of India's censor board, but he could at least smile a bit at the irony? https://t.co/CJPzFCqhgr

Pahlaj did what he did under the garb of ‘sanskaar’. Why? Nobody knows. But the thing about any norm is that once you set it, unless it’s fixed, it’ll stay that way. And Pahlaj is learning that the hard way. Oh! If only he would’ve listened to our humble, progressive pleas to not butcher movies or delay them unnecessarily, toh ye din na dekhne padhte.
