Producers of Shahid Ka-poor-starrer Udta Punjab agreed on Friday to delete a scene in which the lead character is shown urinat-ing before a crowd after the Bombay high court insisted that it, as suggest-ed by the censor board, must be removed. During the course of hearing, the judges said the Cen-tral Board of Film Certi-fication (CBFC) should change its approach. The court also said the term ‘censor board’ was coined by the media and it was pleased to note that the CBFC does not mention and treat itself

as the censor board, but instead as the Board of Film Certification. The court was hearing a plea of the producers who have complained about lack of communication from the board about 13 cuts and the adult certifi-cation for the film by An-urag Kashyap’s Phantom Films and Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures. The division bench of justice SC Dharmadhikari and justice Shalini Phan-salkar-Joshi adjourned the hearing and said it will pass an order on the oth-er cuts suggested by the CBFC on Monday. “Ev-erybody has a choice. Let people decide whether a

movie is good or bad … Hand over the remote to people – let them decide what to watch and when to switch off, whether it is television or cinema,” the judges said, adding, “If they (film producers) produce bad movies, they will suffer in the long run.” Movies do not at-tract crowd because of abusive language used in it, but because of the long lasting creative impact it creates, the judges said responding to the CB-FC’s contentions that the filmmakers had not only used abusive and offen-sive language, but have also shown Punjab in a very bad light.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYPunjab’s problem is not a film, but who is to tell it to the censors

The efforts by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) through the years to live up to its sobriquet “censor board” have never been as intense, or as lu-dicrous, as seen in its determination to trip up the film Udta Punjab on the ground that it defames Punjab by projecting the state’s drug problem. The review panel of the CBFC suggested many cuts, including the ridic-ulous proposition to remove references to Punjab in the title and in the dialogues, for the film to be eligible for certification. The producers of the film claimed that the report of the review panel was provided to them only after they approached the Bombay High Court. Just when Bollywood seems to be emerging from its co-coon of fantasy films to create works that reflect India’s current realities, the CBFC seems to be making a de-liberate attempt to stall it. Chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani has got it all wrong about the mandate of the CBFC. He and the board seem unable to fathom that the CBFC has not been established to provide a moral compass to filmmakers or act as a political filter. It is not for the CBFC, a quasi-judicial body, to act as the govern-ment’s censor, as in the days of the Emergency. Films, like all works of art, try to speak the uncomfortable and inconvenient truth. That’s the morality of art and, Udta Punjab, appears to have tried to speak the truth, which appears to have upset the CBFC panel mem-bers. Udta Punjab is said to depict in stark manner the widespread problem of drugs in Punjab. Why should such a film become a target of the “censor” board un-less some people want to hide this reality? The drug problem in Punjab, as evident in the ongoing investi-gative series in this newspaper, has many layers. It’s as much about politics as it is about law and justice. The Akali Dal, in office for a decade, has been defensive about it, providing the opposition Congress, which too is guilty of ignoring the problem when it was in power, and the Aam Aadmi Party, with ammunition to target the government. With the assembly elections a few months away, the Akalis seem to attack any discussion of Punjab’s drug problem as “a conspiracy to defame” the youth of the state. The BJP, an ally of the Akali Dal, appears a willing partner in this strategy. Nihalani, who has taken every opportunity to advertise his admiration for Prime Minister Modi and gratitude to the BJP, has been remarkably sounding like the Akali leadership on the issue. How much better it would have been, both for politics and policy, had the Akali Dal-BJP coalition welcomed the film, if not as the complete truth, as a timely and much needed wake-up call to a social prob-lem that needs to be addressed urgently.

“It was important to make Punjab drug free. In the present situation in Punjab, everybody should come forward to make the state drug free and save the youths of Punjab,” - Art of Living founder Sri Sri ravi Shankar said on Friday

that the need of the hour was to make Punjab drug free and appealed to people to keep yoga above politics, during a meditation session at the Paraplegic Rehabilitation Centre (PRC) in Mohali.

With Housefull 3 mak-ing new records at the box office despite mixed reviews, the makers of the franchise are keen to come up with another in-stallment. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the comedy, which released on June 3, stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bach-chan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez and Nargis Fakhri. When asked about the possibil-ity of Housefull 4, Na-diadwala told reporters last night, “It is a good franchise. Definitely we will be doing (Housefull 4) very soon.” On the occasion, Akshay said

the scripting of a possi-ble Housefull 4 will take time, as it is not an easy subject to make. “We will sit and talk about it. It will take time. There was a gap of nearly four years between ‘Housefull 2’ and ‘3’. The script takes a lot of time. It is not an easy task to assemble ev-eryone in one home, you need a strong reason for that,” he said. “So, it is not an easy subject, it is difficult to make. It will take one, one-and-half years to begin,” he added. The film, helmed by Sa-jid-Farhad, is the second movie of the director-duo with Akshay after It’s En-tertainment.

As superstar Balakrishna is all set to celebrate his 56th birthday on Friday, his myriad fans are a fren-zied lot with the release of the first look of his 100th film ‘Gautamiputra Satakarni’ on Thursday.

Balakri-sha carried the legacy of his father, legendary NTR for the last three decades with consummate ease and shared screen space with his father and stole the show with his perfor-mance as Abhimanyu in ‘Dana Veera Sura Kar-na’, despite NTR essay-ing four key roles in the mythological film. “He is the only actor among his contemporaries like Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna and Venkatesh who has acted in varied genres including folklore, my-thology, history, social and family dramas to live up to the legacy of NTR.

A plodding, cliche-ridden melodrama in which mis-fortune after spirit-crush-ing misfortune is heaped upon the two protagonists, Do Lafzon Ki Kahani is not quite the breeze that the title might suggest. Making its point with the means of just two words is simply beyond this film. It takes an eternity plus a few hours to reach its cli-max, by which time you just want the tortuous tear-jerker to be banished from your sight. The stated runtime of Do Lafzon Ki Kahani is 127 minutes - a little over two hours - but it feels four hours long, if not more, so enervat-ing and exasperating are its dramatic coincidenc-es.

India is the “obvious candidate” to push global growth amid a lingering slowdown but it will need sustained GDP expansion to reach, by the middle of next decade, the share of world GDP that Chi-na had at the height of its boom in 2005, says an HSBC report. “If the West is not bouncing back to its former strength any time soon, where will growth come from? India is the obvious candi-date,” HSBC economists said in a note. China as the economic engine has “begun to sputter” and India is the only other country with over a billion plus people and also grew “a tad faster” than its northern neighbour in the last year. The note made it clear that the country’s economy is not large enough to make up for a slowdown in mainland

Government is considering a proposal to relax foreign direct investment (FDI) norms in existing pharmaceutical companies with a view to attract-ing more overseas inflows. According to a propos-al of the Finance Ministry, FDI up to 49 per cent should be allowed through the automatic route and anything beyond through approval of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB), sources said. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promo-tion (DIPP) and the Finance Ministry are discuss-ing the proposal. Currently, FDI up to 100 per cent is permitted in new projects in the pharmaceutical sector, but in brownfield ones –the existing compa-nies– the foreign investment is permitted through FIPB approval. DIPP has already commissioned a study to assess the impact of foreign direct invest-ment in existing pharmaceutical companies amid concerns over mergers and acquisitions of domes-tic drug manufacturers. FDI in the sector is a con-tentious issue as concerns have been raised over some mergers and acquisitions of Indian pharma

companies by foreign giants.

Bopanna has named 28-year-old Myneni as his choice. “Yes, he wants to play with Myneni and not Leander,” an AITA source said. Paes, a win-ner of 18 Grand Slam titles, is eyeing a record seventh Olympics, but Bopanna’s choice reflects that he does not bother about the personal mile-stone of India’s most ac-complished tennis player.

A genius city consultant physician along with his medico son studying in 3rd MBBS at Smt. N.H.L Municipal Medical Col-lege invented a formula to calculate intravenous fluid drip rate quickly. Compared to tradition-al formula this formula is easy, accurate and any one can simply calcu-late it manually without the help of any app, any computer or any calcula-tor. Dr Mukund V Patel a senior consultant physi-cian practicing since last 20 years and his medical student son Dhruv Patel are the minds behind in-venting the new formula talking about the Iv drip drop rate, is the calibra-tion or number of drops per ML of solution de-livered from a particular drip chamber through the IV set pipe to the patient body(vein).

opment, Mr. Rajiv Vas-tupal, Chairman of FIC-CI Gujarat State Council said, “It is a matter of pride for us that FICCI has been appointed as the national partner for Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2017.

tedious by the traditional formula. To over pass this problem they have invent-ed an easy formula for In-travenous fluid drip rate calculation. Indoor pa-tients are routinely treated with the IV fluids for the volume expansions oras a drug injection vehicle. Routinely for Iv drip rate calculation, a computer based machine or mobile application or calculator is required for precise amount of drip rate but the new formula which is invented by the duos does not required any help. So this can be the blessing in

medical field. Talking to Dr Mukund V Patel a se-nior Consultant Physician and Dhurv kumar Patel 3rd year MBBS Student, the Inventors said that “The idea behind invent-ing this formula was to make easy and accurate calculation of Intra ve-nous fluid drip rate for any doctor’s, nurse and other para-medical staff. Espe-cially if we talk about the hospital scenario in India there are so many hospi-tals but the staff is less so we can say like one nurse has to take care of many patients.
