Censor Board refuses certificate to film Lipstick Under My Burkha

Film Lipstick Under My Burkha is an woman oriented film and it deals with secret lives of four women. India’s film censors have declined to certify film Lipstick Under My Burkha on the ground that the film contains sexual scenes and abusive words, among other things.

Konkona Sen Sharma and Ratna Pathak Shah are playing two important characters in the film. Alankrita Shrivastava is the director of this film.

A copy of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) letter to the film’s producer Prakash Jha states: “The story is lady oriented, their fantasy about life. There are continuous sexual scenes, abusive words, audio pornography and a bit sensitive touch about one particular section of society, hence film refused.”

Film Lipstick Under My Burkha will be screened at the Glasgow Film Festival and the director of the film is presently at Glasgow. The director Alankrita Shrivastava said “I am not defeated, disheartened or disillusioned by the CBFC’s refusal to certify ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha.’ I am more determined than ever before to ensure that ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha’ can be watched by Indian audiences.”

Film Lipstick Under My Burkha won the Spirit of Asia Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival and the Oxfam Award for Best Film on Gender Equality at the Mumbai Film Festival. 
Film Lipstick Under My Burkha will also be screened at the Miami Film Festival.

Bengali film Kadambari – Review Box Office Report Cast and Crew of the film

Param and Konkona in Kadambari

Bengali film Kadambari is the most awaited movie of this year. The film is based on a very sensitive issue. Was the relationship between Rabindranath and Kadambari Devi was a platonic one?

Kadambari Devi was wife of Jyotirindranath Tagore – elder brother of Rabindranath Tagore. Relationship between Kadambari Devi and Rabindranath Tagore still remains a topic of discussion for generations. Rabindranath Tagore never denied that he had a unique relationship with his sister– in– law. Rabindranath used to call her ‘Notun Bouthan’.

The relationship between Rabindranath Tagore and his ‘Notun Bouthan’ is always treated as a sensitive issue. Kadambari Devi committed suicide just four months after Rabindranath Tagore's marriage. Director of the film Kadambari, Suman Ghosh feels: "I was not scared to deal with such a sensitive subject. What I felt instead was a huge sense of responsibility. For the first time in the history of Bengali cinema, this subject has been adapted for screen.A lot about this incident has so far remained under the carpet, and I thought the carpet needs to be lifted."

Kadambari Devi was married to Jyotirindranath Tagore when she was only 9 years old. At that time Rabindranath Tagore was lonely in the ‘Thakur Bari’ and the same case was with Kadambari Devi. It took no time to bond the two children together as play mate. After the death of Rabindranath Tagore's mother, the poet started getting motherly affection from Kadambari Devi. Finally the relationship turned into a romantic relationship. Director Suman Ghosh has done research work on the relationship and said "Such was the depth of Kadambari's influence on Rabindranath that at the age of 70, he confessed to Nandalal Bose that many of his paintings of a woman's face were drawn keeping Kadambari Devi in mind."
