It's the season for bans in India.
The censor board has said it will not allow the big-screen adaptation of erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey' to be shown in Indian cinemas, a decision most had anticipated.
The chief executive of the Central Board of Film Certification, Shravan Kumar, declined to say why the panel refused to approve the film adaptation, but said Universal Pictures, the Comcast Corp unit that released the film, could appeal the decision.
A Universal Pictures source familiar with the review process said the board had objected to some of the film's dialogue, even after the studio made voluntary edits to the film to tone down its sex scenes and removed all nudity. -- Reuters
