CBFC allows ‘Ghapa Ghap’ in Ranbir Kapoor’s Sanju but CENSORS the slang in Nawazuddin Siddiqui-Neha Sharma starrer Jogira Sara Ra Ra

The 2018 blockbuster Sanju, starring Ranbir Kapoor, made the words ‘Ghapa Ghap’ famous. In the Sanjay Dutt biopic, Vicky Kaushal’s character utters the phrase and it was slang for sex. It was allowed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and cleared the film with a U/A certificate. Five years later, the CBFC, however, asked ‘Ghapa Ghap’ to be censored from an upcoming film, Jogira Sara Ra Ra.

Starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Neha Sharma, Jogira Sara Ra Ra has been passed with a U/A certificate and 7 cuts. The words ‘daal de…mere’ and ‘Chub raha hai’ were asked to be muted by the CBFC’s examining committee. A cuss word, which was not mentioned in the cut list, was also censored. At one point, the dialogue ‘E lo…nahin jaayega’ was removed and also the visuals shown in that scene. In some scenes, the objectionable ‘finger gesture’ visuals were removed and replaced with suitable visuals. The anti-smoking ticker was inserted in a smoking scene. And finally, ‘Ghapa Ghap’ was removed and replaced with suitable words. The cut list mentions that the said dialogue is between a brother and a sister.

After these changes were carried out, the makers Jogira Sara Ra Ra were handed over the censor certificate on May 8. The length of the film, as mentioned on the certificate, is 121 minutes. In other words, this romantic comic caper is 2 hours and 1 minute long.

Interestingly, Jogira Sara Ra Ra was all set to release this Friday, on May 12. But due to multiple releases, the makers decided to postpone the film. Jogira Sara Ra Ra will now be released on May 26. However, since the initial plan was to release it in the second week of May, the makers had begun the censor process so that they could get the certificate before May 12.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui addresses Sprite ad controversy; says, “I see it as a good thing that the makers apologized”

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui faced controversy after appearing in a Sprite advertisement, which led to a case being filed against him and the CEO of Coca-Cola’s Indian division for allegedly “hurting the sentiments” of the Bengali community. Later, Sprite India issued a statement apologising for “unintentionally hurting the community”. However, in a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Nawazuddin broke his silence over the matter and expressed his support for the community.

The actor acknowledged the community’s objections and stated that no person or community should be hurt. He further added that he respects all religions and communities and it was never his intention to hurt anyone’s sentiments. Nawazuddin asserted, “They apologised, right? What more can I say?”

He further added, “It’s good to ensure that no person or community should be hurt. That was dubbing. I had no dialogue. I see it as a good thing that the makers took it in a good way and apologised. The fact is no one should be hurt.”

For the unversed, the Bengali dubbing of a Sprite soft drink ad featuring Nawazuddin Siddiqui caused controversy as it was accused of “hurting the sentiments” of the Bengali community. The ad promoted a new feature where buyers can scan a given QR code to listen to jokes, with the actor laughing at one of them. In the Bengali version, the joke about Bengalis preferring to sleep hungry if they don’t get anything easily was deemed offensive.

The controversy led to a case being filed against the actor and the CEO of Coca-Cola India, which owns Sprite. The brand issued an apology for “unintentionally causing offence”.

Speaking of the professional front, the 48-year-old actor will be next seen in Jogira Sara Ra Ra. Directed by Kushan Nandy, the film also stars Neha Sharma. It is slated to release on May 26, 2023.
