SCOOP!! & NEWS Decision on smoking ban hasty: Sharmila Tagore04th June 2005 10.01 IST By Agencies The Censor Board chief Sharmila Tagore on Friday came out against the way the government went about its decision to ban smoking in films, terming it as a ‘decision taken in haste and very unaesthetic in taste’. "No self-respecting director will like it," Tagore said, contending that the Film industry or the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) should have been consulted on the matter.
Even as she supported the intent behind the decision, Tagore, who has shot off a letter to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry putting ‘her side of the story’, said that the decision is ‘very difficult to implement’ in its present form. "Although I support the intent, it is very difficult to implement, especially when we have foreign movies also coming into the country," she said. She said that the government should give the industry more time on the matter. "Applying it from August one is very difficult, especially for films which have been completed or on the verge of completion," she said. "Something like September or November would be practical to implement," she added. On May 31, the government announced its decision to ban screening of tobacco products in movies or tele-serials from August 1. The six provisions, introduced in the existing laws, require mandatory display or prominent scroll containing health warning when use of tobacco products is shown in all the movies or in tele-serials irrespective of the timeframe they were shot. | CRICKET ZONE Live Cricket Coverage Song Lyrics ALSO READ scoop ~ Mission Istanbul : Movie Review ~ Abhishek Bachchan promises a baby to Aishwarya Rai ~ Sylvester Stallone gifts his 'Rocky' gloves to Sajid Nadiadwala ~ Aamir Khan happy to be associated with Walt Disney ~ Madhuri Dixit gears up to rock US with the Bachchans ~ 'Mission Istanbul' promises adrenalin trip ~ Sylvester Stallone gels with Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar ~ When Vivek Oberoi grooved with Russian chicks ( more in scoop ) happenings ~ 'Taare Zameen Par' DVD to be released today ~ Bollywood lends flavour to festival of India in Switzerland ( more in happenings ) AKC HOT INDEX ECARDS > New Year, Diwali, Birthday, Valentines, Love, Christmas MOVIES Mission Istanbul, Kismat Konnection, Contract, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Love Story 2050, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, Sarkar Raj, Aamir, De Taali, Mere Baap Pehle Aap, Jannat, Summer of 2007 , Haal-e-Dil, Bachna Ae Haseeno , Singh Is Kinng , Money Hai Toh Honey Hai , Ugly Aur Pagli MUSIC Kismat Konnection , Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na celebs» the celeb A-Z who's in » Katrina Kaif | Deepika Padukone | Ranbir Kapoor | Harman Baweja | Aishwarya Rai | Abhishek Bachchan | Imran Khan | Shahrukh Khan | Salman Khan | Aamir Khan | Hrithik Roshan | Akshay Kumar | Zayed Khan | Saif Ali Khan | John Abraham | Shahid Kapur | Kareena Kapoor | Vidya Balan | Priyanka Chopra | Rani Mukherjee | Mallika Sherawat | Bipasha Basu | Preity Zinta | Kajol | Neha Dhupia | Sameera Reddy | Juhi Chawla | Karisma Kapoor | Madhuri Dixit | Zeenat Aman | Payal Rohatgi | Sneha Ullal | Mahima Chaudhary | Meghna Naidu | Gayatri Joshi | Rakhi Sawant | Bhumika Chawla | Lisa Ray | Dimple Kapadia | Ayesha Takia | Dia Mirza | Sushmita Sen | Amisha Patel | Esha Deol | Amrita Rao | Amrita Arora | Genelia D'Souza | Arjun Rampal | Amitabh Bachchan | Vivek Oberoi | Raima Sen | Riya Sen | Rekha | Rimi Sen | Nigar Khan | Tanushree Dutta | Yana Gupta | Deepal Shaw | Shilpa Shetty | Celina Jaitley | Sonam Kapoor | Neha Oberoi | Nisha Rawal | Sikander Kher | Manjari Fadnis | more... |
