CBFC blocks anti-Mamata Bengali film -Monday Feb 25,2013

The Central Board of Film CertificationICBFC)has refused to clear a Bengali film for taking pot-shots at the swearing-in ceremony of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Singur movement that forced the Tatas to exit the state.

Starring rebel Trinamool Congress MP Kabir Suman, ‘Kangal Malsat’ (War Cry of Poor) is directed by Suman Mukhopadhyay.

It is based on a book written by eminent litterateur Mahasweta Devi’s son Nabarun Bhattacharya.
The film shows a person watching the swearing-in ceremony with disdain. It also has a controversial shot of Kabir Suman saying in Bengali, ‘The Tatas have cut a sorry figure. Now there are so many committees. They are making Kolkata into London...”

“The way the honourable CM’s oath taking ceremony has been shown seems distortion of history and may hurt many common people of West Bengal and create sensation (violence),” the letter issued by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to the film’s producer
