Miss Lovely retains its steamy content with only four Censor cuts

Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer Miss Lovely has already been generating a lot of buzz due to the presence of bold and steamy scenes. The movie which talks about the sleazy C-grade film industry of the 1980s has finally been passed by the Censor Board with only four cuts. The scenes that have been snipped include the part where a woman is being forcefully undressed and another one where a woman is walking bare naked. These two scenes exposing objectionable body parts of a woman have been blurred in the final cut of the movie. Originally the Censor Board had proposed 157 cuts but over the course of one year they revised it to four cuts. The film which will see Nawaz in a lead role is believed to be extremely high on racy sexual content. A source close to the director of the movie says, "Earlier, the Censor Board objected to the foul language and sexual content in the movie but they have been mature, fair, and kind enough to reduce it to just four blurred scenes having realized that none of the provocative content is gratuitous. There is enough steam in the gritty film to stay true to its subject and attract audiences." Director Ashim Ahluwalia sounded pleased at this development. "When I made Miss Lovely, I never expected a release in India. Most of all, I didn't believe that the Censor Board would allow a film with so much adult content through. I'm happy to have been eventually proved wrong. The way that the Board treated the film, allowing me to give them my point of view and accepting those arguments - has been amazing and very different from the Censor Board that I had imagined. With very few changes to the adult content, they have given the film a lot of respect. I hope that this direction continues and that we will see more different adult-themed films in our cinemas." Distributor Sunny Khanna of White Lion Entertainment expressed his happiness by saying, "A movie which has backdrop of the Bollywood C-grade industry naturally lends itself to an 'Adult' rating. What is the fun in such films don't get an 'Adult' Certificate?! The film has several integral scenes which we thought would be deleted due to their bold content but we are glad that the Censor board saw the film in the right perspective. We are very happy and relieved with just 4 cuts in all." Miss Lovely is set to hit the screens in India on 17 January, 2014 and will release in the US in March, 2014.
