What the funk! Karan gets ‘U/A’ from the Censor Board

Spicezee Bureau Mumbai, Nov 06: Looks like Karan Johar’s much-awaited ‘Dostana’ has been scrupulously scrutinised by the Censor Board. The Board has given ‘Dostana’ a U/A certificate against the U certificate that Karan and director Tarun Mansukhani wanted. And surprisingly, it is not the cosy scenes between Abhishek and John that have upset the Board but the use of ‘F’ word! KJo’s ‘Dostana’ has a background score that goes ‘What the Funk’ and the Board feels that the word ‘Funk’ sounds like ‘F***K’ and has asked Karan to mute the word. That’s not all, the Board has also objected to the use of the word ‘sex’. Now, that’s a real shocker. You can do ‘it’ but you don’t say ‘it’! There is a scene in the movie in which Bobby Deol , who plays an actual gay, is told that he would have to have sex with a partner. ‘Sex karna hoga’ is the precise dialogue. The board felt that the dialogue is very evocative and had to be muted. Then there is another scene in which John calls Abhishek ‘napunsak’. The folks at Censor Board felt the dialogue is in poor taste and should be muted. Well, we can certainly hear Karan go ‘What the funk’!
