Frontal nudity gets censor clearance! CBFC retains 2-second adult magazine shot in Doosra; Abhinay Deo calls it an “achievement”

The trailer for the movie Doosra, which was recently shown, has made a lot of noise because of how the story is told.The film not only brings back Sourav Ganguly's famous moment after India won a big match against England in the 2002 NatWest Series final, but it also shows the story of Tara (played by Plabita Borthakur), a young girl growing up in a very traditional family in Rajasthan.Usually, movies like this are given a 'U' or 'U/A' certificate, but Doosra has been given an 'A' certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).What's interesting is that the director, Abhinay Deo, chose to accept the adult rating instead of agreeing to some changes.In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, he explained why he made that choice.

When asked about the certification the film received from the CBFC, Abhinay Deo said, "It's an adult movie because of a few scenes.

I was at the censor screening and they asked me, 'What rating do you want?' I suggested a U/A rating.They agreed but asked us to cut three scenes.I told them, 'If we can get the film passed with an A-rating and without cuts, I'm okay with that.' They said, 'If you are okay with an adult rating, we won't cut any shot.' I agreed."  

Abhinay Deo added, "It's an achievement because nowadays, even films with an 'A' rating still have to go through cuts."

One of the scenes that led to the 'A' rating shows Tara's father (played by Ankur Vikal) finding her with an adult magazine during her childhood.

The scene includes a clear, two-second shot of a nude woman in the magazine.The CBFC is usually strict about showing nudity on screen, and many films have had to be cut for such content.But in this case, the board allowed the shot to stay in the film.

Abhinay Deo said, "Those 2-3 shots, which they wanted to cut, were important to the story.

One was the magazine shot.Then, we had a scene related to the Babri Masjid issue.They told me, 'Do a little less, change it.' I told them I didn't want to change the film."

Was Abhinay Deo worried that the adult rating would turn away younger audiences?

He replied, "No, because this isn't a movie for teenagers to watch, though it is important for them."

Doosra will be released in theaters on October 23.

15 years after Delhi Belly, Abhinay Deo could make HISTORY again with Doosra; may become the ONLY director in Indian cinema to have two films released WITHOUT interval

 The trailer for Doosra was recently shared and has generated a lot of interest because of its unique way of telling a story.The movie highlights Sourav Ganguly's amazing cricket career, which leads up to India's big win against England in the 2002 NatWest Trophy final.At the same time, it follows Tara (played by Plabita Borthakur), who is growing up in a strict and traditional family in Rajasthan.It's interesting because many movies today are over three hours long, with some going up to three hours and 45 minutes.Doosra is different since it's only 78 minutes long.It's directed by Abhinay Deo, who directed the 2011 film Delhi Belly, which was also shown without an interval.That was unusual back then and got a lot of attention.With Doosra being even shorter, can Abhinay Deo do it again and make another movie without an interval?

Source had a conversation with Abhinay Deo about Doosra.

When asked if the film could be shown without a break, he said, "Ideally, there shouldn't be an interval in this film.In other countries, they never have intervals.But nowadays, most theaters want a break.In English movies, they stop the film in the middle.Theaters aren't just about showing films.They make more money from popcorn and drinks than from tickets.That's a different issue altogether."

He added, "Right now, I don't know. It's a very short film—only 78 minutes.Adding an interval in a movie like Doosra would break the flow."

It's interesting to note that if Abhinay Deo convinces the theaters to show Doosra without an interval, he would become the only director in Indian cinema to have made two films that were released without an interval.

When we mentioned this to him, Abhinay laughed and agreed, "That is true."

Doosra is set to release in theaters on October 23.

Prahaar Box Office takes a DULL start; Rajkummar Rao starrer opens at Rs. 2.25 crore

The movie Prahaar, led by Rajkummar Rao, started off slowly at the box office in India, which was expected because the promotional efforts were not very strong.Early estimates show that the courtroom drama made between Rs.2 crore and Rs.2.50 crore on Friday, matching what was expected before the release.

In the morning, it seemed like the movie might only make about Rs.1.50 crore on opening day, but it picked up some speed in the evening and night shows.Most of the business comes from big chain theaters, and the film hasn't done well outside of urban areas.

Media reviews for the film are positive, but it's still unclear if that will lead to a big jump in earnings over the weekend.

The goal is to double the earnings on Saturday, but that seems really difficult.

The production costs for Prahaar are also high because of delays and reshoots, but that's something for another time to talk about.

Nayyi Navelli takes a slow start; Yami Gautam starrer opens at Rs. 3.25 crore on Friday Box Office

The horror comedy movie Nayyi Navelli, starring Yami Gautam, has started slowly at the box office in India.Early estimates show the film has made between Rs.3 crore and Rs.3.50 crore, which matches what was expected before it released.However, the film might have done better if it had been packaged more effectively as a horror-comedy mix.

The movie has performed better in non-national chains, probably because the trailer gave a strong local feel.

But overall, the reports are not great, which suggests the film might struggle in the long run.The business started with Rs.3 crore in the morning, but by the evening and night, it climbed a bit to around Rs.3.25 crore.

The film was made with a higher budget, and it needs to earn at least Rs.

40 crore to break even in theaters.Right now, that goal seems very far off.But as everyone knows, the box office can be unpredictable.

On-ground reports and media reviews for Nayyi Navelli are not very positive.

However, the increased earnings on Saturday might give some indication of how the film will perform in the future.
