Pahlaj Nihalani was removed from his position as CBFC Chief on Friday evening. He is reportedly being replaced by songwriter and lyricist Prasoon Joshi.

Twitter was, of course, jumping leaps and bounds with joy over this news. “Finally, flowers won’t have to touch each other for the sex humans have,” tweeted one user.

While Twitter celebrates, here is a look at a few film posters – tweaked to Pahlaj Nihalani’s tastes. Enjoy!

Mastizaade

Now, this movie is an odd-one out in this list. You’d think this film was banned, but it wasn’t. When the trailers were launched, many questioned Nihalani’s lack of sanskaari-censoring in the film.

Nihalani approves.

Lipstick Under My Burkha

Alankrita Shrivastava’s Lipstick Under My Burkha was not given certification for being too “lady oriented”.

Nihalani approves.

Baar Baar Dekho

CBFC suggested only two cuts for this movie – one for the removal of a scene that showed a bra, and the other for the removal of a reference to Savita Bhabhi.

Nihalani approves.

Aligarh

This film was awarded an ‘A’ certification because Pahlaj didn’t think homosexuality was a topic safe for children.

Nihalani approves.
