Music Director: Jatin-Lalit
Dev Anand's Censor is self-explanatory. He takes on the censors in this film.
Vikramjeet (Dev Anand) is a well-known director. His new film Aanewala Pal
featuring newcomers, gets into a controversy with the Censor Board - a five-jury
member headed by Rekha. They want 13 cuts in the film, but Dev Anand argues and
tells the Board to give up their 'prudery' and keep pace with the times; nudity
no longer shocks in this satellite age.
But three of the members - Amrish Puri, Jackie Shroff and Mamta Kulkarni -
strongly oppose the film. They feel that the film propagates vulgarity. As the
film traces Vikramjeet's struggle to get his film cleared, a lot of other
skeletons get exposed. For one, Amrish Puri's and Jackie Shroff's double
standards.
They themselves lead a life of duplicity with their wives, and cheat on them.
Jackie Shroff and Mamta Kulkarni have an axe to grind with Vikramjeet. They were
both rejected at one point of their lives by the director. Jackie being a writer
was quite keen on working with the director, but failed to get through, while
Mamta wanted to act in the director's film but got rejected.
The film passes from court to court. In the meantime, an NRI director (Archana
Puran Singh) gets interested in Vikramjeet's film and helps him show his film
abroad. The film wins the Academy award. And as luck would have it, the court in
India decides to pass the film without any cuts and gives it a U certificate.
The director has the last laugh. And so does the audience.
