Censorship

The movie faced hard criticism from the Central Board of Film Certification for their item song. The movie was considered too dark and serious as it tackled the concept of sex trafficking. The film received an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification because it was said to be very intense and serious.[11][12] They were also asked to remove the item song, 'Khabare hot',[13] to replace the word 'Kali' wherever 'Kali Puja' is used and to replace 'Ministerji' with 'Netaji'[14][15][16][17] The director started a movement with the hashtag #JusticeforPakhi to get the movie approved by CBFC without any cuts.[18][19] The movie was supposed to release on August 10 2018 but was finally released in September 2018 after all the necessary cuts were made.[20][21][22]
