Bollywood would have to be careful with use of obscene words on screen. A list of objectionable or obscene words, phrases and expressions released by the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) has triggered protests from some board members who said they were not consulted or informed. CBFC chairman Pahlaj Nihalani said if some members were unhappy, it was their problem. The list is part of a letter dated February 11 sent by Nihalani, the newly appointed CBFC chairperson, to the body`s regional offices. It was meant to be shared with the film producers` association. It includes words such as “bastard”, “haramzaada”, “saali” as well as other profanities and innuendos. Interestingly, the word “Bombay” is on the list. CBFC board members Ashoke Pandit and Chandraprakash Dwivedi expressed concern and said they would bring it up in the meeting scheduled for February 23. Nihalani said he was only doing his job. The Cinematograph Act, 1952 specifies that use of objectionable words should not be allowed and violence should not be propagated in cinema. The previous board members and the CEO at CBFC ignored the guidelines until now. So, he decided to set that right.
