Censor Board thinks audience are thumb-sucking dumb juveniles
The Censor Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the latest James Bond film Spectre with four cuts, including two kissing scenes.
Ram Gopal Varma took to Twitter to mock the decision: 'Cutting kissing scenes in a bond film proves that censor board thinks audience are thumb sucking dumb juveniles who have to be house broken. Can members who Censor what's coming on screen,censor what their own family members and their own children watch on their own cell phones?
'It's high time the government grows up and treats the audience as adults capable of taking their own decisions on what to watch. If the adult has enough sense to elect his own government does the government think he or she doesn't have sense to know what to watch? It's high time in the so called progressive india to start giving ratings to movies like in America instead of random arbitrary cutting,' he added.
Meanwhile, Emraan Hashmi tweeted: 'So this guy James Bond calls up nervously ranting about something. Couldn't understand a word of what he was saying.'
