Rakhi Sawant nude bathroom scene in Khamosh

Tijori expressed his travails with The Censor Board as how he sought intervention of Assistant Regional Officer when the Examining Committee suggested several cuts in his film as the Regional Officer, a far more sensitive man, was on leave.

The scenes brought under the Censor’s scissors happened to be a passionate lovemaking scene and a bathing scene picturised on Rakhi Sawant. Tijori feels deeply hurt because according to him the the cuts were unwarranted considering the fact that the characters in the lovemaking scene were completely covered and in the bathing scene Rakhi happened to be partially clad.

“They asked me to totally cut off this and the other sexual content in the film, though these portions form part of the narrative,” Tijori complains. The fact that his film has been awarded an ‘A’ certificate after the several cuts that have been executed in it irks him to no end.He feels, “It is very obvious that they are giving differential treatment to different producers. How is it that they conveniently passed a bathing scene in Tango Charlie picturized on Nandana Sen, with a U/A certificate for the film? Also, if they can give a U/A certificate to a film like Page 3, which showed child abuse, drugs and sex in abundance, why are they singling me out for this treatment?”.

Tijori also had to make endless rounds that he had to make to the CBFC office, before the Assistant Regional Officer, could give him a hearing.

“There were occasions when I had been given an appointment and I would wait for hours together for him to turn up and I would be informed that he had already left for the day. It was a frustrating process of taking appointments that were never meant to materialize. Obviously, the A.R.O. was taking advantage of the fact that I had a deadline to meet for the release of the film. Besides, independent film-makers like us do not have the power to approach the tribunal,” he says.

Meanwhile, Sharmila Tagore has promised Tijori to look into the matter and ensure that other producers do not go through a similar experience.

“It can slightly reduce the anguish for other independent film-makers like me. The age old guidelines of 1952 that are in existence in the CBFC norms are no doubt contentious but what is more upsetting is the discriminatory treatment meted out to producers,” Tijori chuckles.
