#AbToHasNEWS Two minor cuts for Mirzya, child holding gun asked to drop it Two minor cuts for Mirzya, child holding gun asked to drop it Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra�s love epic Mirzya has been certified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a �UA� certificate. That means children accompanied by adults can watch the film. But with two highly absurd cuts. A shot showing a child holding a gun was asked to be deleted. Says a source in the know about the development, �A 12-year old boy is shown brandishing a loaded gun. The scene is not there to shock. It comes at a crucial juncture in the plot and is an integral part of the film�s dramatic core. But censor guidelines do not permit minors to handle arms and ammunition.� Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who is part of the Shyam Benegal Committee set up to bring reforms in censorship, took the cut without protest. �I believe the censor board needs to undergo several changes in its guidelines. But until those changes are implemented, the guidelines have to be followed,� says Mehra. The other cut demanded by the censor board is a little hard to understand. A bottle of liquor was asked to be blurred. Apparently, it isn�t only the consumption of alcohol that is harmful. Even looking at the beverage can be detrimental to the nation�s health. #movies #theatre #video
