EXCLUSIVE: Karma Nu Rahasyam, RARE Gujarati film with ABUSES, to clash with Alpha; passed by CBFC without cuss word cuts
Karma Nu Rahasyam is inspired by shocking true stories and stars Uttsav Naik, Prince Limbadia, Bansi Rajput, Naisarg Mistry, Zankhana Patel, Makrand, Arvind Vegda and Sapna Vyas. It’s produced by Karan Singh Tomar and directed by Asif Silavat. Within the trailer, one can see characters mouthing ‘B******e’, ‘B*******d’ and ‘f*****g’. Based on Gujarati industry insiders, this might be the primary Gujarati film to achieve this.
The CBFC passed the film with an ‘A’ certificate and asked for a couple of modifications. The makers were asked to insert a disclaimer that alcohol is banned within the state of Gujarat and that alcohol is utilized in the film for dramatic purpose. One other disclaimer that the CBFC added was that consumption and trafficking of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances is prohibited in law and punishable with rigorous imprisonment and advantageous.
The CBFC further asked the makers to insert certain names under ‘Special Thanks’. The name of the alcohol brand was asked to be blurred. The anti-smoking static was added in scenes where characters are seen smoking. Lastly, the name of an actor was muted. As for the abuses, the CBFC didn’t ask for any mute or deletions.
Once these changes were made, the CBFC passed Karma Nu Rahasyam on May 25. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 108.00 minutes. In other words, Karma Nu Rahasyam is 1 hour and 48 minutes long.
Gujarati industry in shock
Karma Nu Rahasyam has created a storm within the Gujarati film industry. An industry insider added, “Gujarati cinema has never been known for such low cost language. It looks as if the abuses have been added to create shock value and catch people’s attention. That is against the culture and DNA of Gujarati film industry.”
One other producer, nevertheless, remarked, “Abuses have develop into commonplace in Hindi movies and web series. Hence, it was only a matter of time before such language found its way right into a Gujarati film as well. What’s surprising, nevertheless, is that the CBFC seems to have passed the film without censoring the abuses. Previously, they’ve asked for cuts even in ‘A’ rated movies, but within the case of Karma Nu Rahasyam, they haven’t done so. There appears to be no consistency.”
Nevertheless, the industry members consider that other filmmakers may not follow Karma Nu Rahasyam’s path. The producer revealed, “Several movies depend on subsidy granted by the Gujarat state government. Nonetheless, as per the subsidy rules, it’s granted only to the movies that receive a ‘U’ or U/A certificate. Adult-rated movies can’t be eligible for the subsidy. Because of this, not many filmmakers can be willing to sacrifice the subsidy amount merely to retain the cuss words of their movies.”
