Dirty Picture to be aired - 100 cuts from CBFC

The much celebrated premiere of 'The Dirty Picture' on star plus was earlier stalled by Censor Board of Film certification in April. As the movie had done 56 cuts already and still been given an U/A certificate, which makes it unfit for screening on television, (news here).

Much to the happiness of the movie fans, the film has now cleared the legal hassle of getting an universal certificate and should be aired on television pretty soon.

Sources said the producers of the Vidya Balan starrer approached the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) volunteering an additional 40 cuts. Certain words have been muted while 3-4 minutes of the film have been chopped off. The film had got 59 cuts in April but had been given a U/A certificate with a rider that it be screened only post-11 pm. The rider has now been withdrawn and a universal certificate given to the film.

The movie is now fit for airing on television but it might miss the essence as a whole. "The Board allowed them to make those deletions and made the endorsement to that effect on the film's certificate. The film can now be shown during general viewing hours on television," an official said.

Officials said under Rule 33 of the Cinematographic Act, filmmakers can re-submit their films for certification after making additions or deletions to the films.

In normal circumstances, changes which amount to an addition or deletion of up to 5 to 7 minutes are allowed and the Board certifies the new version of the movie. The I&B ministry had to step in to stop screening of 'The Dirty Picture' on prime time TV after an April 19 order of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court had asked the ministry to ensure that the telecast of the movie did not violate guidelines.

So the hurdle is past now, the board is also looking at defining the guidelines to certification past the episode and is to ensure that the right movies gets broadcast and also ensure that the proper parental guidance is notified while airing U/A certificate movies.

I have always wanted to be a strong mass actor - Emraan

With the blazing success of Jannat 2 Emraan Harshmi still wishes to be the man for the masses. He has given back to back successes starting from Murder 2 which he did last year. He has been the man associated with most of the successful movies, but the critics and reviewers still fails to classify him in the A-list of actors. Jannat 2 which came out with a seemingly common storyline was backed up strongly by the performances by its actors, the lead role played by Emraan was regarded as the game changer in the movie.

When the daily recently caught up with the actor - they asked up the most popular question about him being excluded from the A-list; "I have never really wanted to sort myself and other actors by that list. I have always done films that I believed in and yes it is very important for box office collections to do well. I have never really wanted to belong," the 33-year-old said here in Mumbai. 

Murder 2, The Dirty Picture and Jannat 2 was one of the most critically acclaimed characters by the actor and he has gone from the spoiled metro youngster to the gangster - he has never really stopped experimenting when it comes to taking up roles. He says ""I'd rather not belong to a particular list and just do films I probably did four years back. I don't want to get safer with the success of 'Jannat 2'. I want to do riskier films and make them a success,".

The actor also feels that his movies should be able to pull up masses more than classes (not that he hates it!) and he works each of his movies to make an impression to the people he loves. "I hold the verdict of the people who watch films cinematically in single screens very close to my heart. I go to single screens to watch the reaction of the people. For me that is a big reward. I have always wanted to be a strong mass actor," says Emraan. 

Emraan's next is Dibakar Banerjee's Shanghai in which he plays Joginder Parmar, a porn filmmaker. He is also set to work in his first 'U' certified film (sic!)

Whether be the serial kisser or the real gangster or the lover boy - we love you Emraan!

Ekta's fight over 'The Dirty Picture' TM

Ekta Kapoor, the business head of Balaji Films is not so happy with the way her movie title is being used. She has been carrying the title of 'The Dirty Picture' in style through award functions and is really not in good mood when the same name got snatched in for a Kannada movie which is under production starring Veena Malik. Ekta has openly expressed her disapproval for the use of the title and is said to have proceeded with legal action against the production team at Karnataka.

'The Dirty Picture' which is more like a trademark for Balaji productions has been a status symbol for the producers and actors. Especially when Vidya Balan, the lead protagonist did receive the National award for her talents expressed through the movie. Since the movie, Ekta has been specific on what she will like to share about the movie and what she hates to do. But when the news did break out that Veena Malik's movie in Kannada has the same title she was irked to the max!

The stranger part to this story is that Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce or KFCC has been said to have approved the title and is being granted to Venkatappa, one of the production head for the Kannada movie. The Kannada version of 'The Dirty Picture' is being directed by Trishul. It is said that Ekta has sent out a legal notice to the president of KFCC to cancel the permissions given to Venkatappa and stop the name being used in the movies.

The director of the movie has different thoughts on this issue and says that there has been no such legal boundaries of using a bollywood movie title on the regional language movies and claims that Ekta's legal notice will not stand grounds. He adds in the example of 'Houseful' and 'Bhadra' the movies had similar counter parts in Bollywood and Kannada. Since it wasn't a problem with those movies, he just doesn't agree to Ekta's claim for this movie. He also adds that the movie he is making is completely different movie from what Balaji productions had prepared and is never a 'inspired copy' of the original.

Ekta is said to have given a 5 day notice for the KFCC to take actions before she proceeds with the legal actions.

Rakhi's turn to get dirty !!!!

The film that saw Vidya Balan walk away with the National Award will be remade in Bengali. The makers of the new version of The Dirty Picture have said that Rakhi Sawant will play the lead role. Its time for Rakhi Sawant to get dirty in Bengal.

Rakhi said that, “Vidya Balan hasn’t done anything in The Dirty Picture. I will do better and hotter scenes in the Bengali remake. Even Vidya will be surprised after seeing my character. I will be better than her. The sari is meant to be taken off in films, not worn. Films become a hit because of this, not because of stars.”

She added that, “The remake will be directed by Shatabdi Roy, a member of Parliament who is as big as Amitabh, Jaya Bachchan or Rekha in Bengal. I got the role because of an item song I recently did in the Bengali movie titled Om Shanti. The song is very popular in Bengal right now.”

Tapas Paul, another member of Parliament and a former actor, is producing the film. Tapas said that, “We met Rakhi in Delhi recently and liked her item song in Om Shanti. Although we are 100 per cent sure about Rakhi playing the lead, negotiations are on for the male lead. Since The Dirty Picture can’t be completely remade, we have decided to make the Bengali version more like a sequel.”

The name of the Bengali remake is not yet finalized and other than Rakhi nothing else has been finalised. And the shooting dates of the film also have not yet been locked.


The Dirty Picture which was one of the most successful movies of 2011 will now have a South Indian remake as well as a Bengali remake. The lead role in the Kannada version of The Dirty Picture will be played by Veena Mallik.The film was a biopic on southern siren Silk Smitha’s life. Vidya Balan played the role of the sex siren Silk Smitha in the hindi version (original) of The Dirty Picture.

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!!!!"

Dirty Picture to be aired on TV after 56 cuts

After having cut as many as 56 scenes from the popular movie 'The Dirty Picture', Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court on Friday decided against staying the telecast of 'The Dirty Picture' on Sunday. 

Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court bench here has allowed a private TV channel (Sony Entertainment) and others to go ahead with the scheduled telecast of Vidya Balan starrer Hindi film 'The Dirty Picture' on Sunday.

The channel was responding to notices issued by the HC on a petition filed by a Nagpur resident, Pravin Dahat. The petitioner had knocked the judiciary's doors contending that 'The Dirty Picture' promos were full of obscene scenes, double meaning and vulgar dialogues, and the movie had received an 'Adult' certificate.  Therefore, it was not suitable for viewing with family, especially children. He termed its screening as breach of Cable TV Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995 and Cable TV Network Rules, 1994.

Counsels for petitioner M Anil Kumar and Nirbhay Chawhan pointed out that the movie, as its name suggests, was indeed a "dirty picture" not suitable for home viewing due to its explicit scenes and vulgar dialogues. They added that even the songs were having double meaning with wild gestures and sounds of moaning.

The channel and Balaji Telefilms lawyer Sunil Manohar told the court during the hearing today that 56 adult scenes were cut from the film for the telecast, which now will be shown as ‘UA certified’. The total length of the film after cuts now is 136.54 minutes.

However Sony Entertainment channel has assured the Bombay High Court that the broadcast of the Dirty Picture on will be with UA certificate and without 56 “adult” scenes.

Emraan Hashmi wants 10 crores

Right from Once upon a time in Mumbai to The Dirty Picture Emraan Hashmi has been giving continous super hits one after the other. And because of this Emraan Hashmi seems to have increased his charges. It  is said that the serial kisser Emraan has quoted a whooping sum of Rupees 10 crore for all his new projects. Yes Emraan Hashmi wants 10 crore to act in one movie and he even said that its not a crazy price and will not burden any of his movies.

A-listers like Hrithik Roshan and Ajay Devgn charge somewhere around Rupees 20 crore per movie where as actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor are said to charge around Rupeess 10 crore. The three Khans - Shahrukh, Salman and Aamir, take a share in the profits and even charge about Rs 27-28 crore a single film. And now even Emraan Hashmi has joined the 10 crore club.

Emraan said, "I have increased my rate but I cannot tell you the exact figure. It is a safe price, it is not a crazy price. I have worked in the office of a producer, so I know what happens when they (actors) overprice. So I know what that price should be and it keeps me in the industry for a long haul."

He added,  "I think as an actor I feel my rate should not burden the film. There are few actors, who charge more and then eventually it burdens the film, but I will never do that."

When asked about his role in the movie Shanghai he said, "Dibakar has the ability to bring out the actor of his comfort zone. And he made me eat lot of stuff, so that I become fat, have a paunch. Getting the physicality of the character was half the battle won. The character that I play is from Jodhpur. He is shady, repulsive in a certain sense, he is a mobile coordinator, small town journalist, he shoots porn films at night. This is definitely going to be one of the landmark film and characters of my career." He added, "You will not miss the kiss, I can do two things with my lips... either I can chew pan or kiss. I have done something new in this film. I feel I have graduated from a serial kisser to a porn filmmaker in a way. I don't know what is next."

The actor has three releases this year- Jannat a crime thriller by Mahesh Bhatt which will release on 4th May, Shanghai a political thriller by Dibakar Banerjee to be released on 8th June and Raaz 3 a 3D horror movie by Vikram Bhatt which will release on 31st August.

Nikita declined? - The Dirty Picture remake

The latest buzz about the remake of  Vidya Balan stunner 'The Dirty Picture' in South is actively the topic of discussion. The production house is already handling the list of offers they are receiving from Telugu and Tamil filmmakers. There has been also a rumor that Nikita Thukral, a Telugu movie protagonist will be beefing the role when remade. But it seems that that the home production house of 'The dirty Picture' has different thoughts about this.

Swati Shetty, vice president of The Dirty Picture's production house, states, "After Vidya Balan in The Dirty Picture, we'd rather have a known and established name for the remake, instead of a newcomer or not-so-well-known name."

As Vidya had already raised the bars of skills in the movie, directed by Milan Luthria, the production house wouldn't want a lesser impact on the South Indian movie industry when the movie is remade. A source had already given the hint that it would be mostly Nikita who will be doing the Telugu version of the movie, but with the above profile said by the home productions, it will be a tough luck for Nikita as she hasn't been much established as an actress in the industry.


Swati confirmed that they had received a couple of offers for the remake rights. "But nothing has been finalised as yet. In fact, we will not just part with the remake rights, but also ensure we are involved as co-producers. That way, we can also have creative control over the final product, with the essence and the soul of the storyline intact,"


So it seems that Nikita won't fit into the equation, we will have to wait actively to see who packs in for the role.

I'm not comfortable doing bold roles - Asin

Asin Thottumkal, who had a blazing start to her career in Bollywood has had few low points as well. But she is quite excited about her role in her upcoming movie 'Houseful 2'. She says she enjoyed every moment of the movie and was quite excited to do a multi-starrer movie, which she has rarely done in the industry. She feels that this movie will surely hit the charts. She also confirmed that she has no qualms in sharing her screen space with other actors. 

"I am a secure person and I don't think working with other stars in a film will affect my career. I do not have any ego problems. Multi-starrers very rarely happen in the south, so when I get a chance up north, why not?" asks Asin adding, "I had fun working with Shazahn Padamsee and Jacqueline Fernandez. There is a perception that female actors do not get along well on the sets. But we became good friends and still are." 

She also thought that doing multi-starrers should be fun, as long as it gives in a pleasant experience to the audience. She also took the opportunity to clarify the rumors that she had a heavy work out and makeover done for the movie, she says "Not at all! I did lose 4-5 kilos, but I am back to my normal weight now. The news was blown out of proportion," . The actor is currently shooting for a film with Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan. "It's too early to talk about the film. It is a typical Rohit Shetty comedy and is inspired by 'Gol Maal'. We have changed the story line quite a bit." 

She also mentioned that she is new to the industry and she had her roots in South movie industry, so she still has to wait to get a grip here and get established in the industry. She also appreciated the fact that Tapasee Pannu and Kajal Agarwal are taking their chances in Bollywood. But since her bollywood career the actress has taken it slow on South movies, she hasn't signed any movie after 'Kaavalan', the tamil version of Bodyguard. She clarifies this as missing content of scripts that is making her quit doing more movies in South.

When media did ask her, if she would like to do different movies which are not the usual eye candy acts by heroine, and specifically a bold sequence like 'The Dirty Picture' she readily said "I can never do a film like 'The Dirty Picture'. I'm not comfortable doing bold roles like that,"

She is still plain about what she thinks. We wish all good for 'Houseful 2'.

SRK and Priyanka in Dirty Picture!!

Now that is what we call talent, when Priyanka Chopra takes on the imitation game there is nearly no one to match that talent. She recently gave a great show at the zee cine awards function along with her pair, Shah Rukh Khan, who has been always game for this game! They imitated the very famous poster of the movie 'The Dirty Picture' with Priyanka putting on some padding to make Vidya Balan out of her!

Spoofing nominees is not a new trend. Saif and Shah Rukh started it. Ranbir and Imran have done the same for Filmfare. Also for Priyanka, this is not the first, she has previously imitated Shah Rukh Khan himself from 'My Name Is Khan' and Salman Khan from 'Dabaang', she has also tried to copy Kareena Kapoor in Golmaal 2, so we can expect more from PC.

If you ask us it will have been fair if she had avoided the padding, we will love to see how Priyanka looks in that dress lol!

Vidya Balan might be sitting next to you?

Vidya Balan, is trying to gather the reaction of her movie 'The Dirty Picture' first hand and she has decided to wear a burka and move to the theater which is running the movie. The recent act went successfully till the first half. She was seated in the upper rows wearing a burka and was trying to get a feedback of her acting in the movie.

Unfortunately the cover got blown by herself, when she had to lift up her veil to talk to her father during the intervals. It is reported that one of the stars did see her talking and screamed 'Vidya Balan' and that was it, she was mobbed through.

Another Snippet:

This is not related to Vidya though, it is said that Salman Khan is quite serious about his movie 'Ek Tha Tiger' and he is actually reading through scripts to get the perfection. Salman Khan who is usually known to be spontaneous on the sets and not to stick by scripts, is thinking to be different this time.

The Dirty Picture Review

The Plot:

As promised the movie is the real life portrayal of South sex icon 'Silk Smitha'. The movie starts with 'Reshma' a village girl, who has her aim to reach stardom sets her journey to Chennai (Madras) with her spirits to drive her through. After the usual period of struggle she gets to reach the silver screen with a sensuous item number and this drives the town crazy. It doesn't take her long to storm the box office as Silk, the sex symbol who's driving a whole generation crazy with her oomph.

Soon the industry is crazy about her and everyone wants a piece of her, soon her fans, lovers and worshipers start to multiply by the day, but soon it falls the downhill. The story is about if Silk will be able to overcome the discards that she receives through the time. 

The Performance:

As the movie progresses, the small-town girl gains stardom with her body alone as her support and the fans growing through each show that she does. Vidya Balan portrays excellently a woman who with her high confidence is able to make her name in the man's world. As the show goes more dirty, there are few who does think her as a scum in the industry which includes Abraham (Emraan Harshmi), who is a art film maker and many more feminist associations that are shown in the movie. But as the movie shows this seldom has an effect on the actress as great stars like Suryakant (Nasseruddin Shah) still wants to have her in movies and the Silk gets to achieve great success in the industry than any other actress.

The problem starts when Vidya's mother shuts the door against her she finds the cost of the success. Further the journalists who are bugging her to get an interview refuse to take her to a page 3 parties. Also she gets a bad vibe from her lover Suryakant (Nasseruddin Shah) when he tries to hide her in bathroom when his wife arrives. She tries to ignore these rejections with drinks and a number of lovers which includes Tushaar Kapoor, but the guilt still holds on.

Partially responsible for her angst too was the arrogance that stars acquire with the onrush of success. One by one, she began to lose her friends in the industry and work stopped coming her way due to her cocky attitude. Didn't take long for the superstar to hit the road to destruction and end up as a sorry picture of failure and ruin. In this decrepit state -- the fate of most erstwhile Bollywood heroines -- her only friend was the man who hated her the most, Emraan Hashmi. But was it already too late to resuscitate a broken soul....

Final words on film:

This movie is centered around Vidya and her performance. There are various shades of Vidya shown and she has once again proved herself beyond doubt as a best actress. There has always been a narrow line drawn between sexuality and vulgarity and it is never a vulgar film. Also the director Milan Luthria  has portrayed sexuality beyond the f word. This doesn't mean that the male roles are weak, they manage to hold their own in full measure, despite the relative meagerness of their roles. Also, it is the naughty dialogues (Rajat Arora) of the film which add immense flavour to the proceedings. It's a no-holds-barred screenplay which rightly refuses to treat sex as a four letter word. Kudos to Milan Luthria for handling such a controversial theme with such sensitivity and boldness. 

Verdict:

A must watch movie but definitely not a family movie for your weekend!

Its my character that is sex icon - Vidya

The lavish shows and dances in the movie The Dirty Picture and the sexy bold shows through out the movie trailers has given the tag of 'sex icon' to Vidya Balan. She has contributed a lot to the image of Silk Smitha herself who was known for her beauty and sexy acts.

Vidya gets giggly when asked about her role and she mentioned "I am anxious," said Vidya, "All of us have worked hard. We've all given this movie our cent per cent. Let's hope it all pays off and people like what we have made."

When asked about people calling her the sex icon she said "Sex icon, me? It's my character they find sexy. But it's quite flattering. I've always maintained that Indian women are beautiful. They are the epitome of womanhood with their curves in the right place."

Vidya has reportedly gotten on 12Kg's of weight for the movie and she is getting ready for workouts as soon as the movie releases and she wants to get back in shape(really??). "It was tough and unwanted, but it had to be done. I'm going to start working out after the release of the movie, and hopefully will get back to what I used to be," she says. 

Vidya will next be seen in 'Kahaani'. "It's another movie that's very close to my heart. Let's take it one at a time."
