High Court in favour of Ka Bodyscapes

Jayan Cherian's upcoming film

Ka Bodyscapes

had been outrightly rejected by the

censor board

, saying it contains obscenity. The makers had filed a writ petition challenging it and the judgement has come now, in favour of the film.

In his judgement, Justice P B Sureshkumar has said that the film doesn't offend the censor board guidelines. "Mere references to homosexuality and masturbation of women may not amount to obscenity or vulgarity. Only if the entire theme is disclosed, the question whether these amount to vulgarity can be ascertained...

The freedom to think and act differently is an essential feature of democracy. The said freedom includes freedom to react and respond to the same situations differently and distinctly. one cannot expect everybody to express themselves in the same manner. If the freedom to express one's ideas is not conceded, there will not be any creativity at all," goes the judgement.
