The Trailer They Don’t Want You to Watch: Lipstick Under My Burkha

Watch the trailer to the “lady-oriented” film, ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha’ that is creating waves across the nation.

That glorious moment has arrived. Lipstick Under My Burkha has finally been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for us lesser mortals, and the film is finally getting a release in India. Winning several awards across the globe, the film has been directed by Alankrita Shrivastava, and stars Konkona Sen Sharma, Ratna Pathak, Plabita Borthakur and Aahana Kumra.

Watch the second trailer of the film here:

The film came into controversy when the CBFC refused to certify the film on the basis of it being “lady-oriented”.

The story is lady-oriented, their fantasy above life. There are contanious [sic] sexual scenes, abusive words, audio pornography and a bit sensitive touch about one particular section of society.

Statement by CBFC

Lipstick Under My Burkha releases on 21 July 2017.
