My take on Censor board’s decision to ban on-screen smoking..

Bhai log… bole to too much ho rahela hai … censor waale bolte hain ki smoking on screen is banned and any film containing a smoking scene will straight away be given an ‘A’ certificate!!! Yaar koi un mamu logo ko samjhaaye that Indian people have been seeing their heroes smoke on screen since times immemorial…

My dad didn’t start smoking even though he found Ashok Kumar ever so stylish smoking in ‘Kismet’, nor will i start after watching ShahRukh Khan in DON!!! Youngsters have always have had a sensible head on their shoulders and will continue to be so – irrespective of what the censor board thinks …

Even if you give the movie an ‘A’ certificate in the halls, how will you prevent it’s pirated DVD landing in the hands of a 12 year old (considering the fact that the DVDs release almost the same day as the movies and are MUCH widely spread and viewed)????

Those guys need to understand that giving it that certificate will only arouse the curiosity of the masses and end up being viewed more than earlier …

Think about it…
