<p>After raising objection to words like 'cow', 'Hindutva' in a documentary on nobel laureate Amartya Sen, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked the directors of a Bengali feature film to mute the word 'Radha' in a song sequence in the entertainer.<br /><br />The film 'Dekh Kemon Lage' was finally given U/A certification after the directors deleted the entire line of the song instead of muting the word 'Radha' from it as sought by CBFC.<br /><br />"During the screening few days back, the CBFC has asked for muting the word 'Radha' in a song," Sudeshna Roy, one of the two directors of the film, told PTI today.<br /><br />"Instead of muting one word which will have no meaning, we have deleted the entire first line and re-recorded the song minus these words," Abhijit Guha, the other director, said.<br /><br />"With the film slated for release on July 22, we did not wish to court further trouble and went by what they asked for and the film was granted a U/A cerficate," Guha said.<br /><br />"The song in the romantic comedy was inspired by a very popular folk number and we had only replaced some parts of the song without understanding that it will meet Censor hurdle," Roy said.<br /><br />A top CBFC, Regional office source told PTI, "We routinely ask film makers-producers to make cuts or mute certain words as per the guidelines. It is a regular issue."<br /><br />The film, a home production of Bengali suprstar Prosenjit Chatterjee, casts Subhasree Ganguly and Soham Chakraborty.<br /><br />Last week Anik Dutta's film Meghnad Badh Rahasyo was given U/A certification by CBFC, Regional office after the makers of the film agreed to mute the two words including 'Ramrajya'.<br /><br />The CBFC had recently asked Suman Ghosh, the director of 'The Argumentative Indian', a documentary on nobel laureate Amartya Sen to mute words like 'Gujarat', 'Cow', 'Hindutva view of India' and 'Hindu India'.
