One smart way of protesting against the Central Board of Film Certification’s crushing audio and visual cuts is to release a video of the scenes that were dropped or mutilated. This is what the producers of Angry Indian Goddesses have done. Pan Nalin’s female buddy movie features realistic situations and dialogue and casual (and harmless) profanity. It also includes sexual thoughts whose expression seems to have rattled the CBFC. For instance, equating the object of desire with “lunch”. This video, which has uses 1960s-style dramatic audio effects to indicate each cut, tells you what you missed in the Age of Pahlaj.
