No cuts, please!

Sanghamitra Chaudhuri is done canning the shots for ���������The Bhoot of Rose Ville��������� and is all set to send this psycho-thriller with a horror treatment, to the Censor Board this Friday.
Though she will be seeking an A-Certificate for her project, there is another concern bugging her.
The director elucidates, ���������There are some explicit scenes in the film and I am apprehensive that the CB might ask us to do away with them.I have tried a realistic approach in this project. That���������s one reason why I have tried to shoot in a documentary style, where the actors flaunt a no make-up look and there are no songs in the same.
According to the film-maker, the ���������exposure has become mandatory��������� in a wedding night sequence between Rose enacted by Arpita Mukherjee and Samir played by Dronn Mukherjee and a bathing scene of Rose, where she is crying after seeing her dead baby on the shore. Ask her what would be her next step if the CB decides otherwise and Sanghamitra says, ���������I will have to refer to other Indian films with A-Certificate, that have such explicit shots. It���������s high time the Bengali audience matures enough to handle such scenes. ���������TBORV��������� is targeted for a multiplex audience. So, I see no reason why the urban viewer would have a problem with such scenes.���������
Incidentally, the director was asked to cut away the last scene from her first film ���������Ratporir Roopkotha���������, which resulted in an ���������abrupt ending��������� for the same. ���������This film too had an A-Certificate. There was a scene, where the police officer throws away the knife that killed the bad guy in order to save the protagonist. But the CB reasoned that a police officer destroying evidence could not be shown. I was a novice then and didn���������t know how to argue my case, but this time around, I intend to make them see reason.���������
Sanghamitra had no apprehensions while shooting these ���������bold��������� scenes because she felt they were part of the natural progression of the storyline. ���������But when I showed the film to a few of my friends, they pointed out that the CB might ask me to chop off those scenes,��������� she says and adds, ���������It is often reasoned that the audience watches a Hindi film with a different perspective from that of a Bengali film. This is very vague. After all, it is the same audience watching the two products. So why would the receptivity to a Hindi and Bengali film be any different?���������
Even the distributors had advised her to chop those scenes but Sanghamitra stood her ground. ���������They told me that if I applied for a U/A-Certificate, the film would cater to a wider audience. I thought otherwise,��������� she elaborates and continues, ���������These scenes are not there to titillate or as a publicity stunt. I had the marketing aspect in mind when I shot. One has to remember that I will be losing out on the under-18 crowd with an A-Certificate. This has nothing to do with my seeking publicity. Is the CB listening?
