“Dirty Picture” Banned on TV !

Sony channel had created much brouhaha about telecasting the controversial movie “Dirty picture”, based on the life of southern siren Silk Smitha. But, the Union Information and Broadcasting (I&B) ministry poured cold water on all the publicity by banning the channel from telecasting it yesterday.

Initially, the ministry had asked Sony to telecast the movie late at night, when most children would be asleep. Many parents had complained about the bold scenes and adult dialogue in the movie. Vidya Balan had won a national award for her portrayal of Silk Smitha in the movie. Let us wait and watch the fate of the “Dirty Picture” on the small screen.
