We’re all aware of the controversy around Shahid Kapoor starer Udta Punjab which has been dominating social media for the last three days now with everyone sharing their opinion on the same. The film fraternity has backed the makers of the film against Central Board of Film Certification who asked them to make 13 cuts in the film. In fact, even the Bombay High Court believes that the film has not been made to malign the image of the state and that standards should evolve.
But the joke has been on the censor board every since the controversy hit social media.
These 10 jokes will leave you in splits!
