Now CBFC Defies Court Order to Deny Certificate to Malayalam Film 

After refusing to certify Lipstick Under My Burkha for being “lady-oriented”, CBFC has now defied a court order to stop the release of Malayalam film Ka Bodyscapes for its sympathetic depiction of homosexuality. Directed by Jayan Cherian, the film has been unanimously denied certification for “glorifying” homosexual relationships, “vulgarity”, depicting Hinduism in a “derogatory” fashion and for depicting a “female Muslim character masturbating”. And this in defiance of a Kerala High Court order.

Cherian took to social media to share the official letter from the CBFC:

The film, which revolves around a gay artist fighting censorship against his works, has been denied certification by the Second Revising Committee. According to a report by Indian Express, Cherian says this is in defiance of a Kerala High Court order.

Well done, Pahlaj Nihalani.
