Now a days, the movies are showing totally wrong face of the society by showing sex and kissing scene. These are the privacy of our society that should be respected. Directors have made a habit of adding some offended (so called hot scene) to earn a lot.
But how these get passed through censor board? It's corruption. Yes corruption! These days We hardly find a movie that we can see with our family. So The censorship should remove the scenes completely not partly. Then I will believe that the board worth existing.

Hi friends!
We all know about Indian culture. But day by day it is degrading due to the many reason. One main reason behind this is cinema also. For entertainment, money and need of scene some directors of the film are not avoiding to show bad and vulgar scenes.
Its duty of censor board to cut these type of scene. And actually they are not doing their work well, not cutting these type of ghatia scenes which adversely affect our society. Now days very rare films are there which we can watch with our family. So censor board should filter the film very fairly so that it will not affect our society.
That's it.

Keeping aside the action and drama, the vulgarity depicted knows no bounds. India has always been known for its culture. However it's rare to find movies based on any culture. Thanks to the media and the hype created of the celebrities personal lives, youngsters get influenced in the wrong way.

Censor Boards do play an important role in media and vis a vis society, however, there must be a uniformity in the exercise. This uniformity may transcend beyond the Boards capacity. Hundreds of millions of people of India go to temples, being exposed to sex, nudity, Violent pictures and what not, through the carvings, drawings etc, This is acceptable, but the fighting scenes in X-men days of future past were deemed unsuitable? This is just an example. The scene was practically mangled beyond recognition. The Board would be better of Banning some of these movies outright.
How about, public defecation and urination. You mean extended kissing scenes are more vulgar to viewers than that? The whole process of censorship is laughable, until the social behaviors in public arena are cleaned up.

Hello Everybody ! I have got few things to say here:
A lot of hard work is involved in making a film. Right from the beginning to the end, the process in itself is very rigorous. What we see on screen is the vision of directors, writers, lyricists, musicians and other artists which is drawn or inspired from their personal experiences. We have to understand that it is because of their direct observation or participation in the events of society, the filmmakers have gained practical knowledge, skill or expertise. Restricting their vision is definitely going to hurt them.
They are trying to depict reality from an artful perspective. We just cannot ignore the fact that murders are taking place, rape is happening, which is very unfortunate. We just cannot ignore the fact that boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife love. We just don't happen to accept the reality because we fear what others have to say, what society has to say. We are shy in the cinemas hall, but most probably an animal inside four walls.
My point Censor Board should keep an eye on the content and restrict releasing which is very derogatory or offensive. But putting a tag in every scene where characters are smoking is not going to change the society. The one who's smoking knows really well the ill effects of it. We are not running out of ads which says "Smoking kills". So why play with the emotions of filmmakers?
Parents understand whether they should take their children to the theater or not. If government is really bothered about society or children getting inspired from a movie, they should better give emphasis to education.

According to me censorship in movie is necessary, as the movie maker puts everything in the movie to make it interesting, like vulgar scene, abusing language etc. These types of things are highly responsible in degrading the culture of our society. So the censor board should always take a step in removing these types of things from the movie.

Censorship depends from industry to industry and in case of movies, there is censor board of film certification to which all the rights are there to censor the movies and categorize them according to the age of the people of the country and cut short the content which is not to be disclosed on the screens.
India being the number one democratic and demographic country, has a large culture and based on that, censorship move should be established by different industries and nature of work so that it would not affect any part of the country and its culture.

Well, if we go through the definition it would be very clear that, censorship in case of films is the board of certification rather than censoring and its business is to classify films on the basis of age appropriate level.
Right to freedoms is very important tenet of a democracy, and morality of country should not subjected to the political dispensation.
India, is a democracy where different strata of people are there, something which is sarcastic for one may be downright outrageous and offensive for others. So censoring is sometimes necessary for smooth functioning of the country. But most of the times its completely ridiculous. I, appreciate UN model where it is decided within industry, what they want to cut and what they know.
