After a tough fight with the Central Board of Film Certification
(CBFC), finally, the trailer of Alankrita Shrivastav directed movie
'Lipstick Under My Burkha' was released in Mumbai this Tuesday making
the latest national news.
Ekta Kapoor was present among the
promoters and crew of the movie as she is having the presenting and
distributing rights of the film. She told the media that she doesn’t
have any problems with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC),
but with the society.
''There is no problem with CBFC; my problem
is with society, which at some point speaks about the same issue in its
own ways. If you talk to any girl, you will come to know about five to
10 such incidents happening with her in one day where, being a woman,
she has to prove herself a little harder. She has to learn how to combat
from a very young age,'' Ekta Said.
Talking about the poster of
the movie which has a middle finger shown, Ekta said, "The middle finger
is not for the CBFC but pointed towards the patriarchal society that
does not let us come out, which compels us to suppress our voice. That
is why this issue is not just CBFC's, this issue is about ideology, it
is about patriarchy." The entire panel has members Ekta Kapoor,
Alankrita Srivastava, Konkana Sen Sharma, Ratna Pathak Shah, Aahana
Kumra and Plabita Borthakur.
It is a Prakash Jha produced film
that was in the tough scrutiny of CBFC for last six months. The film
revolves around the story of four women and their desires for sex &
freedom. However, the film just got an approval with “A” certificate.
The film is to be released on 21st July and is expected to be an off the league movie.
