Abhishek Jawkar’s crime thriller Missing on a Weekend, about a band of friends who run into a criminal gang during a Goa getaway, was initially asked to carry out 50 cuts, including expletives and scenes of drug consumption. After Jawkar sent the Central Board of Film Certification a legal notice, the number of excisions came down to seven. The revising committee finally passed the film with three bleeps. The movie stars Pavan Malhotra and Karan Hariharan.
