The Dirty Picture premiere stalled

The Dirty Picture was all set to entertain the viewers on television. The movie was scheduled to telecast first time on television at 12pm and 8pm on Sony Entertainment Channel on Sunday. 

A city lawyer had filed a petition seeking to impose a ban on its telecast on the ground that there were obscene shots in the film.

The originally ‘A’ rated film went through 56 cuts to get a UA certificate, in order to be screened on television. A source said that, The channel decided not to play the film after receiving complaints from viewers about the late night timing of the screening.

However, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) says that a UA certified film can be shown only after 11 pm. CBFC had advised that the film should be shown late at night when most parents are available to suitably guide their children.

But the channel disappointed the viewers with the message, ‘For unavoidable reasons we regret to inform the dirty picture will not be telecast today. Any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted.’

Prior to this the High Court had cleared the Vidya Balan starrer film 'The Dirty Picture' on Saturday after 56 cuts, 36 of which were cut by the film producer himself and 22 others as suggested by the Board.

Tusshar ‏Kapoor tweeted, "Really unfortunate that after all the necessary cuts and a valid UA certificate.The Dirty Picture could not be telecast today on sony tv!In light of recent events that exposed the dark side of Bollywood, The Dirty Picture was well timed as it depicts a similar harsh reality!Sad that inspite of being acclaimed for it's entertaining realism & having won 3 National Awards the regulatory forces have stalled the show (sic)."

Tanuj Garg CEO of Motion Pictures tweeted,"Sorry to everyone who's been messaging and calling this morning. Been on the phone continuously. It's unfortunate that even after ...a valid censor cert being in place, the telecast was held!The cuts made to TDP were done in a manner that would not offend the larger populace but completely retain the film's creative integrity!Despite the cuts and a CC, forces in Delhi decided to hold the telecast!The Dirty Picture trending.That's the point abt its popularity.The most discussed& celebrated National Award-winner is nt allowed 2telecast (sic)."

Karan Johar tweeted, "A national award winning film cannot have a national telecast??? this is not an irony but plain and simple hypocrisy!!!!"

Mausam Premiers but miss essentials!

hahid Kapoor had decided to make the event grander than any other movie events, but had made careful selections for the guest list. Which was much noted with the absence of the Royal bride, Kareena Kapoor or his ex-flame. But he chose to invite Priyanka Chopra and Vidya Balan who were allegedly having an affair with Shahid. As he snubbed his first celebrity love Kareena, some people decided to snub him back. The most prominent were both Vidya and Priyanka who were not present at the event.

The event did go colorful though with the leading stars such as Shahid and Sonam accompanied by Genelia D'Souza, Bipasha Basu, Sonakshi Sinha, Amisha Patel, Kangna Ranaut, Tabu, his Dil Bole Hadippa costar Rani Mukerji, Aayesha Takia and even Amrita Rao (who happens to be Shahid's ex-love as well). But the absence of Priyanka and Vidya did not go without discussion. The reason for which the actors failed to attend sounded quite genuine, a source at the function said "The two actresses are busy with their work, Vidya is working on Dirty Picture and Priyanka is at the award function at Delhi with SRK, so they did miss the premiere".

Although it is said that the co-actor for Vidya in Dirty Picture, Tushaar Kapoor had took few hours break to attend the birthday function of Hum Tum Shabana director Sunil Chainani, but this option did not go with Vidya for moving out of the camp. The fact that Priyanka could have also missed the award function did have a stir in the crowd.

The other two actors, Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, who did make their names into discussion with their absence. Both Imran and Ranbir are close buddies to Shahid and this was the reason why their names got discussed too much. Imran Khan although had made his representation with his wife Avantikaa and she was accompanied by Ayaan Mukherjee. Although the miss of Ranbir was kind of expected with Sonam Kapoor, who was his ex-love, attending the function. A source mentioned "Shahid knew that Ranbir will be missing the function with Sonam attending it".

Although another person close to Ranbir did mention "Ranbir was scheduled to attend the function but is now tied to the shooting sets of Chandivili". Another silent rumour went out that Imran opted out of the function since the opening of movie Mausam was higher than Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Although the opening profits were confirmed by the producer "Yes, we did a 15 per cent higher gross opening than Mere Brother Ki Dulhan's registered opening".
