The CBFC has refused to certify Raveena Tandon starrer Maatr. Owing to two gruesome scenes, the Board rejects certification.
Raveena criticises the decision of the board, "The Censor Board is bound by archaic laws which need to change according to the current times. Maatr is a story that needs to be told. We’ve had enough of sugarcoating of harsh realities. If this continues we will remain indifferent to brutality, and rape will remain a taboo." Also the producer Anjum has now appealed to the Revising Committee, I’m concerned, but hopeful that the Revising Committee will clear the film. This subject needs to be addressed through cinema. The Board will understand it."
