Aarakshan Gets Green Signal in Punjab | Ban Lifted from Screening of Movie Aarakshan in Punjab

There is good news for Amitabh Bachchan fans who are desperately waiting for the screening of Aarakshan in Punjab! Punjab government has lifted the ban from screening of Aarakshan in theaters after cuts of some scenes on which state government had objection.


A high-level committee set up by the Punjab government to preview Aarakshan, had on Friday recommended lifting the ban in the state if the film producer agreed to make certain changes.

"We have deleted the scenes and dialogues to which the state government committee had objections. These portions have been submitted to the state government and will not be shown. The rest of the film will be screened in theatres across Punjab," an official of a multiplex at Zirakpur, near Chandigarh, said Monday.

Apart from mentioning the objectionable dialogues of movie, the committee even highlighted the positive aspects of the movie and the underlying thought provoking message related to commercialization of education in India.

A spokesperson of the committee said: "Since the overall message of the movie is positive, the committee feels that the movie may be released in Punjab after making the amendments as suggested."

So now the audience can enjoy the movie and we believe that the positive message will be taken, assimilated and applied in our current education system.
