The list contains more than 30 Telugu words including nayala, mushti nayala, chillara nayala, VP, Nee Amma, Amma Nee Amma, Chetta Na Kodaka, Gadida Kodaka, Bokka, Bongu and several other more objectionable and abusive words. Most of the words have double meaning and are abusive towards women.
Though Monday’s meeting at Mumbai chaired by CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani has reportedly decided to put the implementation of the list of cuss words on hold, there has been no written direction to the regional authorities regarding the same.
However, according to CBFC advisory board members, most of the words in the cuss list are highly abusive and are not allowed in films.
An advisory board member of CBFC said, “The list of cuss words was prepared in 2003. Most of the highly abusive words are not allowed. But the board didn’t take serious note of some of the words during censor screening and certification and as a result they made it in Telugu films. The same list has now been re-circulated.” The Telugu lists contains a few caste names too.
Attempts to contact CBFC CEO Shravan Kumar failed. Earlier, the new CBFC chief had given all regional offices a list of 15 Hindi and 13 English words.
The controversial, objectionable and abusive words’ list compiled Mr Pahlaj Nihalani has been reportedly put on hold.
