Abstract
Despite the fact that India produces more films per year than any other country, film certification for public exhibition has always been an arbitrary and politically charged procedure. The fact that the government appoints members of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) rather than an industry or group independent of the government has resulted in the board being used to disburse political patronage. There have been instances when after getting certification of Films by censor board the films had to face violence or threats of violence or disruptions by self-styled protector of Indian values and fringe groups as it happened in the case of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil1 and Bahubali 22. All these instances lead us to the conclusion that there are unreasonably stringent on the freedom of speech and expression of authors and film-makers.
