A special screening of the movie was organised for Benegal after the censor board suggested 89 cuts to the movie, leading to a battle between co-producer Anurag Kashyap and the CBFC.


After the movie's screening, Benegal told media here: "If you ask me technically, it's a very well-made film."

Benegal's committee includes as members Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Piyush Pandey, Bhawana Somaaya and Nina Lath Gupta. Sanjay Murthy, Joint Secretary (Films), Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, is member-convener.

Mehra told IANS that the committee's recommendation is that the "scissors" of the censor board must be abolished.

Their recommendations were submitted to the government in April.
