EXCLUSIVE: CBFC replaces ‘tits’ with ‘kids’ in Riteish Deshmukh-Sonakshi Sinha starrer Kakuda; also removes ‘harami’, ‘c*****a’

Just last month, Aditya Sarpotdar delivered the sleeper super hit of the year – Munjya. This month, he’s back with another horror comedy, Kakuda. The new release, however, has gone straight to digital. Yet, it had to undergo the censor process and also receive some cuts.

As per the cut list, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed the film with a U/A certificate. However, the Examining Committee asked the makers to remove the abusive words ‘harami’ and ‘c*****a’. These cuss terms were replaced with censor-appropriate terms. In a scene in the first half, the word ‘Hanuman’ was also removed.

Meanwhile, the CBFC also asked the makers to remove the word ‘tits’. The makers replaced it with ‘kids’. The said term was used in a scene where the characters read out an essay on cows. The original dialogue reads, “It has four legs, one tail and four tits”. One of the characters is even seen hesitating before uttering “tits”. But now with the word being changed to “kids”, it looks awkward to see the hesitation of the character. Amusingly, there’s no replacement for the censored word in the subtitles available on Zee5, where Kakuda has released.

The makers were also instructed to insert a disclaimer on anti-superstition in the beginning. Once these changes were made, the censor certificate was handed to the makers on July 28, 2022. The length of the film, as mentioned on the certificate, is 116 minutes. In other words, Kakuda is 1 hour and 56 minutes long.

Kakuda stars Riteish Deshmukh, Sonakshi Sinha and Saqib Saleem. It is set in a village haunted by a midget ghost. The ghost attacks a newly married man (played by Saqib Salaam). He’s all set to die in 13 days. Not ready to take things lying down, his wife (Sonakshi Sinha) asks for help from a ghost hunter (Riteish Deshmukh).

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
