Words like kutta, saali, haraami, bastard and bitch, has been banned by the CBFC and even double meaning words like maarna, lena, bajana, etc will be cut off. The first film to face this rule is Anushka Sharma starrer ‘NH10’. The trailer of the film clearly shows that the movie will have many cuss words. Director Navdeep Singh was unavailable for a comment. It is said that he is brainstorming with the makers to find a way out. Madhur Bhandarkar talking about it said that his ‘Calendar Girls’ have to mind their language now. "My 2011 film, ‘Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji’, was given an 'A' certificate because of the use of the word virginity. That restricted its reach and cut into the revenue," Madhur said. He added, "Language is one way of showing the contrast between a bad and a good guy and his transformation if it happens. It's also a reflection of our society." Mahesh Bhatt said, "The CBFC is free to do what it wishes, but there is no lock, no gate, no bolt that it can set upon the freedom of our minds. This is a battle which they will never win because this is India, not China or Saudi Arabia." When he was asked that his film ‘Humari Adhuri Kahani’ will face this issue, he said, "No, HAK is a heart moving tale of illicit love." Pritish Nandy, the producer of upcoming adult comedy ‘Mastizaade’ didn’t comment on the issue. Pooja Bhatt said, "We must have the audacity to go to the Revising Committee or even the Supreme Court. Most people don't have the grit to take on the system but I do." Hansal Mehta took to Twitter to show his displeasure against the CBFC rule, he tweeted, "Dear Indian government, if you decide what I should make and what my characters can say, then, why don't you also fund my films? Dear Censor Board, go screw yourself."
