Certificate refused to Ka Bodyscapes for 'obscenity'

Filmmaker Jayan Cherian was in the news during the release of his first film,

Papilio Buddha

which faced issues from the censor board.

His second film,

Ka Bodyscapes

as well has been banned by the censor board, which did not give the reasons initially. Now, Dr Prathibha, Regional Officer of the Censor Board, Kerala, has issued a statement with the reasons, which range from 'ridiculing the Hindu religion' to 'obscenity'.

The entire content of the film is ridiculing, insulting and humiliating Hindu religion, in particular, portraying Hindu Gods in a poor light. Derogatory words are used against women. The Hindu God Hanuman is shown as coming in the Books titled 'I am gay' and other home sexual books. (sic)." The board also says that the film has references to a lady masturbating and violates several guidelines and therefore the certificate is 'refused'.
