A controversial film reportedly based on the gang-rape of a woman in 2012 inside a moving car on the streets of Park Street was finally awarded a screening certificate.
Titled Park Street, the film courted controversy when it was screened for the regional Censor Board of Film Certification that raised a number of objections.
“The film was initially screened for the censor board in February. The officials completely banned the film saying Park Street was depicted in a poor light. They did not even propose cuts,” producer of the film Debjani Roy told The Hindu.
The film also depicts the character that Park Street dons at night, Ms. Roy said.
After the film was denied certification, the film was passed on to the review committee which again denied certification.
