New Delhi: The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has refused to give a certificate to the rape-and-revenge thriller Raveena Tandon's 'Maatr'.


Well! According to the reports, all CBFC members walked out during the screening of the film. The committee found out that film's content was different and objectionable from the screenplay that was given to the board.

‘Rape sequences are always tricky. We never know when they stop becoming shocking and get into the voyeuristic/titillating zone. In Maatr, the women’s violation is subject to allegations of excessive elaboration. Though the film is well-intended and hardhitting, we cannot take the risk of incurring the wrath of organizations devoted to prevention of violation against women.’ a CBFC source told Quint.

CBFC viewed the film again and banned it. According to the board, film is violating several guidelines.

"Maatr has graphic and gruesome violence against women. The film is carpeted with maa-behen expletives. We can't even recommend that the abuses be beeped as they run through the course of the film in an ongoing rush of profanity," a source from the CBFC told The Quint.

Movie will not release on its scheduled time i.e. April 21.
