With so much controversy surrounding Udta Punjab, we are skeptical if the movie would see the light of the day. First, the rumors of the movie getting banned circulated on the Internet, and then the Censor Board asked to have the title just ‘Udta’. Pahlaj Nihalani claimed that the movie maligns the name of Punjab.
With the movie embroiled in this controversy and sailing in the boat where its release is finding new difficulties every day, Bollywood came out in support of this movie and brazenly opposed the censor cuts because the film shouldn’t be hemmed in by the truth that only a few individuals find convenient.
Here are some of the tweets:

Are we (censor board) not reading the disclaimer at the beginning of films. It’s fictional na? Hmmm.., maybe it isn’t? #UdtaPunjabCensored

Power is the most dangerous addiction of all & someone in the CBFC seems to be tripping hard on Lassi in the Sky with Diamonds. #UdtaPunjab

The audience rejects a film. Not the censors – Anurag Kashyap.
— Naomi Datta (@nowme_datta) June 8, 2016
The furor is evident with many people expressing their views on this imbecile censorship which is obviously political.
And, this is the time to stand up and speak. Way to go, Bollywood!
