The Central Board of Film Certification has mandated changes to the dialogue in the film 'Nakhrewaalii', replacing references to Uttar Pradesh and East Delhi with generic terms to avoid regional targeting.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has directed the makers of the upcoming film 'Nakhrewaalii' to modify specific lines of dialogue before the movie's release. According to reports, the board flagged certain phrases that referenced specific geographical locations and demographics in a manner deemed inappropriate or potentially inflammatory.
In one instance, the word 'UP', referring to the state of Uttar Pradesh, has been replaced with the generic term 'village'. This change aims to remove the specific regional identification from the script while retaining the narrative context.
Additionally, a line originally stating 'Must be some East Delhi b***h' has been altered to 'Must be some cheap little witch'. The CBFC's intervention highlights its role in ensuring that film content does not promote regional bias or use derogatory language targeting specific communities or areas.
The film's producers are expected to comply with these recommendations to secure the final certification for theatrical distribution. Such edits are common in Indian cinema when scripts contain language that could be perceived as divisive or offensive to specific groups.
