MUMBAI:
Disgusted by the Censor Board CBFC), which often plays
a spoilsport, filmmakers have gone ahead and started
releasing unedited adult content of their films on the
online medium.
Recently,
when the trailer of Ekta Kapoor's upcoming film Kyaa
Super Kool Hain Hum was allowed in theatres and TV after
suggested cuts by the CBFC, the filmmaker released the
uncut version for online viewers.
And
to her surprise, when the uncensored promo of the film
was released on YouTube, it was a hit and has been getting
innumerable hits (522,500 hits till recently).
There
is another such case. Pooja Bhatt decided to promote
the songs of Jism 2 with adult content on internet,
rather than scissoring out so-called objectionable
scenes of the film.
Of
the six songs she has shot for the film, the director
chose to showcase only three songs with asexual content
on TV. The rest have gone online. It is a conscious
decision she had to make.
"We
have six songs in Jism 2. Only three cater to a universal
audience without losing their essence. The other three
cannot be made to seem asexual! Hence, we will only
submit to the censor board and plug on TV those songs
of 'Jism 2' what we feel is appropriate for a family
audience," Pooja wrote on her Twitter page.
The
actress-turned-director is happy that viewers get
a chance to choose what to watch without a "roadblock"
by the censor board.
"The
three songs that cater to the average thinking, discerning
and passionates may be viewed freely and by choice
across the internet. With their bold steps, the two
ladies join Vidya Balan to make the year 2012 a woman-centric
year," Pooja said.
