The Rosamund Pike – Daniel Bruhl starrer 7 Days in Entebbe apparently came under the scanner due to the film’s opening sequence – a Jewish ballet performance. The film’s opening scene of a Jewish ballet performance and its meaning was apparently a question mark for the Censor Board initially
But it seems that despite the initial woes faced by Indian distributors Reliance Entertainment for the release of the Hollywood film – 7 Days in Entebbe, the film has finally received a nod from the India censor Board.
Says an insider source,
“Directed by Jose Padilha, the film starts with this Jewish ballet performance by the troop which is a beautifully presented piece of work. However, on watching the scene the Censor Board didn’t know what the lyrics of the ballet song meant. Given the recent instances faced by films as an outcome of content sensitivity, the members of the Censor Board didn’t want to leave anything to chance. They asked for the exact translation of the lyrics to ensure it was in no way offensive or controversial. The Indian distributors at Reliance Entertainment promptly made that submission which reassured the members against any misgivings. Courtesy the CB nod, the film is all set to release pan India as planned on March 16.”
With all clearances in place from Censor Board, the spokesperson from Reliance Entertainment confirms that they are looking forward to releasing 7 Days in Entebbe – a political thriller, riveting suspense with real-life action on 16 March 2018 on the big screens across the country.
