India blocks 'The Danish Girl' from airing on TV
India's film censorship board has barred Sony Pictures' channel from telecasting Oscar-recognized film, The Danish Girl.
The movie was slated to air on Sunday. However, the film authority objected to its supposedly "sensitive storyline" and dubbed it "unsuitable" for audiences below 18.
In The Danish Girl, Eddie Redmayne plays the main character grappling with his gender identity, and is based on historical events of the world's first sex reassignment surgery.
The broadcaster tweeted: "We regret to inform you that Sony Le Plex HD is unable to telecast the television premiere of the award-winning film The Danish Girl on March 26 as the necessary certification to enable the telecast of the movie has not been received." Read more...
