The controversial Marathi film "Mumbai Amchich", which targets non-Maharashtrians, has been held up by the Censor Board because certain portions are inflammatory, says its chief Sharmila Tagore.
The film by director Sarad Bandsode tells Marathis that outsiders, particularly from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, have no place in the city of Mumbai. And if they still choose to stay on, they do so at their own peril.
"Let's get this straight. 'Mumbai Amchich' came to us for certification. It was refused clearance by the examining committee. Then it went to the revision committee. There was a difference of opinion," Censor Board chief Sharmila told IANS in an interview. |

By Subhash K. Jha, Film: "Yatra"; Cast: Nana Patekar, Rekha, Deepti Naval and Nakul Vaid; Editor, Screenplaywriter, Cinematograper & Director: Gautam Ghose; Rating: **
This is the story of a creator's journey. It could be seen as a metaphor of the fairly prolific director's own journey across the oscillating oceans of the motion picture. And never mind the rough patches and the debilitating turbulence.
Gautam Ghose, who spearheaded the avant-garde movement in the cinema of the 1970s, has never been too comfortable with making films in Hindi, though he did make that masterpiece "Paar" - describing the metaphorical journey of an impoverished couple, played by Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi, across a river with a herd of pigs.
Piggish behaviour we see in plenty in Ghose's new Hindi film and some of it comes from the protagonist himself.
