Still from Sexy Durga

It may have won applause at various film festivals across the world, but looks like director Sanal Kumar Sasidharan will not be able to display his labour of love in his own country. Sasidharan's Malayalam film, Sexy Durga, has been refused clearance from the Information & Broadcasting Ministry for screening at the upcoming Mumbai Film Festival. MAMI applied for the exemption twice, but was rejected on both occasions.
