Top 10 examples of Censor Board's dictatorship in 2016

Censor Board of Film Certification made headlines a number of times in 2016 for chopping out scenes from the movies. On some occasions, irked filmmakers locked horns with the Board and openly criticized it for muzzling freedom of artistic expression.

There was a high drama before the release of much hyped movie Udta Punjab as its filmmakers moved the Bombay High Court against the Censor Board. CBFC had first asked the makers to make as many as 94 cuts in the film. However, the movie was passed with just one cut and A certificate.
