London - Controversial Bollywood film "Udta Punjab",
opened in UK cinemas today to great reviews. The Shahid
Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Diljit Dosanjh and Alia Bhatt
starrer dominated headlines in the last few weeks over
its producers' legal fight with the Central Board of Film
Certification (CBFC) against what it had branded as
unfair cuts to as many as 89 scenes.

The Bombay High Court had finally cleared the film for
release with the deletion of just one scene.

"This film has become a movement against freedom of
expression of creative artists and filmmakers through its
tryst with the CBFC and at the same time shows the
entertainment side of realistic cinema," said Rohit
Shelatkar, co-founder of Grand Showbiz and Entertainment
Ltd, the overseas distributor of the film.
