Hai Rabba!
Have you seen the trailer of Lipstick Under My Burkha? A film about four feisty women chasing their dreams and desires through secret acts of rebellion.

Wow! This is some heavy duty stuff, dude. And it’s nothing remotely like Chak De India or Dangal, a hero-led women-centric film. Come on, you need at least one Khan to help women achieve their dreams. Aise apne aap kaise?
In Lipstick Under My Burkha , their dreams and desires are not about having a family, taking care of their pati parmeshwar or making Bharat swachch, but it explores the sexual escapades of women living in small town. ’Nuff said!
Obviously, this “lady oriented” ‘sinskari’ film needs to be purified by our censor board guru, Pahlaj Nihalani ji.
Dhannya ho aapka! You’ve taken this cut-hin step to deny certification. Ignore the trolling-shrolling ji, logo ka kaam hai kehna.

We are in 2017, Indian ladkiyon ko sex ke baare mein nahi sochna chahiye. Log kya kahege! It goes against our sabhyata (culture). What Alankrita Shrivastava (director) should have done was to make a film on four women and their domesticated lives. Alankrita could have added a bit of tadka – by not having women “fancy above life” – but rather having men “fancy below the belt”. Then it would have been good to go.
Whoever says you’re stuck in time must be living under a rock. Don’t they know you approved of ‘liberating movies’ like Mastizaade, Great Garnd Masti, Kya Kool Hai Hum 3. Thodi si toh laj rakh le teh aapki! Hadh hai!
Arre you even let Befikre release without any hiccups where man and woman were on a kissing spree without any reason. And now aam aadmi need a reason for you to refuse certification. Bahut naa insafi hai!
I have an issue with the title name – Lipstick Under My Burkha – why are they focusing on one community? If Prakash Jha want’s to be a progressive producer than he should have named it – Lipstick On My Collar – now that’s a masala title.

Don’t ya agree?
And by the way, as a true nationalist, you were just doing your job. You didn’t want to get “one particular section of society” all excited. Nobody thinks of Bharat Mata the way you do.
Pahlaj kaka you are best!
