CENSOR BOARD BANS THIS FILM FOR SEXUAL CONTENT AND VIOLENCE!

Raveena Tandon’s film Maatr, which was supposed to hit the screens on the 21st of April, has apparently been held back. Reports suggest that the film has been banned from release by the Central Board Of Film Certification as it had scenes that showcase graphic and gruesome violence against women.

It is said that an entire group of CBFC members walked out during the screening of the film last week after it was found that the film's content was very different from the screenplay that was submitted to the board.

Reports from Bollywood media suggest that, Maatr is supposed to have graphic and gruesome violence against women. It cannot even be recommended with the abuses beeped as it is said to run through the course of the film in an ongoing rush of profanity.

As per the reports, CBFC is said to have been quoted as saying, “Rape sequences are always tricky. We never know when they stop becoming shocking and get into the voyeuristic/titillating zone. In Maatr, the women's violation is subject to allegations of excessive elaboration. Though the film is well-intended and hard-hitting, we cannot take the risk of incurring the wrath of organisation devoted to prevention of violation against women.”
