Abuse, overt sexuality and Mamata Banerjee: Censor Board cracks down on new film 'Kangal Malsat'

'political discrimination' by the government, the director has moved the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal challenging the Censor Board's decision.
“As a filmmaker, I made a film which I wanted to. Now if it has some political undercurrents it doesn't mean those in power have the power to ban the film. They are trying to gag us,” he said.
The film was denied release based on recommendations by a revising committee of the Censor Board, whose members are appointed by the state government.
Filmmaker Haranath Chakraborty, one of the key members of Mamata Banerjee's cultural think-tank group, leads the committee.
“It is clear under whose directions the film was denied release,” the director said.
