Controversy surrounding the content of upcoming film 'Udta Punjab'

Controversy surrounding the content of upcoming film 'Udta Punjab' has now reached legal doorsteps. the filmmakers have now approached Bombay High Court against the Central Board of Film Certification. The CBFC is said to have demanded an alteration of the narrative with as many as 89 cuts. The makers were apparently even asked to drop 'Punjab' from the title, and it was suggested that the film be set in a fictitious backdrop instead of a particular state.There have been reports for past few weeks that the movie, which is based on the issue of substance abuse in Punjab, did not get censor board’s approval due to expletives and portrayal of drug use.
