Christian Bale & Matt Damon’s Ford V Ferrari is releasing this week but even before the release, it’s in a controversy because of the Indian censor board. CBFC has asked the makers to blur the glasses of alcohol from the final print of the film.
As per our exclusive sources who’ve watched the film, the shots are very distractingly blurred fading out the effect of the scene. There’s one more scene in which the term ‘son of a b*tch’ is muted leaving the dialogue half-hearted.
An online portal quoted a studio source as, “We know we’ve to blur out the bottles because they carry brand name and CBFC guidelines do not allow that. But a mere glass being blurred out is something I’m hearing for the first time.” It also added, “You know the committee is going to send the print back with such cuts. Can’t do much about it. It’s frustrating.”
Twitterati has been left shocked with this, a user posted, “Ya. Because once they blur we don’t know they are drinking alcohol. In fact, it attracts more undeserving attention to alcohol & cigarettes. It makes me want to get out of the theatre & get a drink. Ridiculous.”
Another user joked, “They shd start blurring the actor’s faces too. why should we have white western sabhayata waley faces when releasing the film in India.”
