So What Goes On Inside Pahlaj Nihalani¡¯s Head?
Pahlaj Nihalani wreaking havoc on the upcoming film Udta Punjab. The film needs 94 cuts because it is a fictional film about a real drug crisis. He had a problem with the kissing scene in Spectre and it was cut short. He even chose to beep &lsquoDin mein sister raat mein bistar.
The last couple of days have been rife with the news of a certain Pahlaj Nihalani wreaking havoc on the upcoming film Udta Punjab. After poring over articles on him, and watching him in action (yawn) on TV, it's safe to say he reminds me of that one friend everyone has. You know, the one whose sanity, intellect, common sense you're always worried about? Nihalani is that guy - just older, more illogical and tragically in a position of some power.
Honestly, someone's got to tell the guy how dangerous his level of stupidity is. But like that's going to happen.
So this is me, trying to get to the bottom of what goes on in this man's head.

Overtly sexual films with illogical story lines + songs bathing in sexual innuendos = Perfect sense

But Udta Punjab, a fictional film on Punjab¡¯s very real drug crisis, needs 94 cuts

Because, reality. I swear this is what he said when asked about what a good film was:
¡°A good film can be viewed with family, focus should be on the story, not the craft like my film Aankhen¡±
Fair enough. But what the hell is this then?
Examples of family films

No, really

Jungle Book, a children¡¯s film, had a U/A certificate

It was ¡°too scary¡±
Homosexuality is apparently a taboo, and so, an important film like ¡®Aligarh¡¯ was given an ¡®A¡¯ certificate

Nihalani had a problem with the kissing scene in Spectre, and it was cut short

He even chose to beep ¡®Din mein sister raat mein bistar¡¯ and ¡®Saali¡¯ from Tamasha, and ¡®boobs¡¯ from Katti Batti
¡®Dil Dola Re¡¯ was cut from Angry Indian Goddesses

Because, Dildo. BUT, BUT, BUT...
The song ¡®Aa bhi jao na¡¯ from his film ¡®Aag Ka Gola¡¯ had more kissing than Spectre
In fact, ¡®Khada hai, khada hai¡¯ is an actual song from one of Nihalani's films. And yes, it refers to penises
AND, when asked why he shot vulgar songs, he said
¡°Don¡¯t ask me, it¡¯s my freedom of expression.¡±
