According to our very talented Film Maker Vishal Bhardwaj, The film is set in Haryana. In the film, Pankaj Kapur’s character, Mandola has a Set-Dialogue for himself called ‘Paincho Paincho’, which he keeps whispering in the film. Though, This word sounds very much like an abusive word. But to Vishal, The lines are meant to be hilarious and not offensive. Vinayak Azad, The Censor Board’s regional officer has given the film an ‘A’ rating, which the director has not accepted and will be going to the Revising Committee on December 17.
On a telephonic conversation, Vishal said “Don’t kill the flavour of the region for one word that sounds like an abusive word as it is not an adult film. I will request the Censor Board to have a look at the film again. The phrase isn’t offending at all. In fact, it’s amusing. Society has to come out of this hypocrisy.”
