There is a war going on between the makers of the upcoming movie and officials at Central Board of Film Certification(CBFC). The certification board, which we often call as the censor board, has come up with the changes they want in the movie before it gets released.
A lot of rumours were there around what the board wants the director and producers to do to the film before releasing. But the official list released by the CBFC states 13 things that they want changed in the movie. Some of these are really laughable.

The edits that have been suggested clearly look like they don’t want anything related to Punjab left in the movie. Also, removal of any kind of expletives is also been suggested.
The whole list goes like this.
1. Delete sign board of Punjab in the beginning.
2. Delete Punjab, Jalandhar, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Jashanpura, Ambesar, Ludhiana, and Moga to be deleted from background and dialogues wherever it occurs.
3. From song no. 1 delete the word ‘Chittave’ and ‘Harami’ everywhere.
4. From song no. 2 delete ‘Tom di cock jevhe chitti chitti cock’ and ‘coke cock’ in the entire song.
5. Delete Behenchod, Behenchodo, Bund, Tatte, Gandia, Gandu, Laudu, Haramzadi, Matherchod, chusa hua aam, kutti, maiyove, kudi chode, lulli, gashti from everywhere including background wherever it occurs. Reg. Tommy, Behenchodo, Behenchod before TCR 1.31 allowed and after that all to be deleted.
6. Delete the word ‘election’, ‘MP’, ‘party’, ‘MLA’, ‘Punjab’, ‘Parliament’.
7. From song no 3, delete the visuals of scratching/itching side portion of Sardar.
8. Delete the close-up shots of injecting the drugs wherever it appears.
9. Delete the shot of urinating by Tommy in front of the crowd.
10. Delete the line ‘Jamin Banzar te Aulad Kanjar’.
11. Delete the name of the dog as ‘Jackie Chain’.
12. First disclaimer should be audio/video and to be changed to – “The film focuses on the rising menace of drugs and war against drugs and is an attempt to show ill-effects of drugs on today’s youth and the social fabric. We acknowledge the battle against drugs being fought by the government and the police. But this battle cannot be won unless the people of India unite against the menace.”
13. Second disclaimer of fiction to be increased according to audio/video.
We hope the team of the movie wins against the censorship and we get to see the movie in the way it was made.
