Udaipur Files, a film based on the horrifying 2022 murder of Kanhaiya Lal in Rajasthan, is already causing tremors, not just in public discourse, but in the censor board�s office. Even before hitting the screens, the film has been slapped with a staggering 150 suggested cuts. That�s not a tweak, that�s a gutting. The film, directed by Bharat Sreenet, touches one of the most emotionally charged real-life crimes in recent memory, and the response has been anything but quiet.

From the moment trailers dropped, the film was under the scanner. Muslim groups like Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind and political voices such as Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi raised serious objections, claiming the film stokes communal fire and targets a community. There were demands for a complete ban, even on OTT platforms. The Censor Board, likely under heavy pressure, called for deep edits, leaving many to wonder what kind of film will be left after 150 scenes or sequences are slashed.

Despite the noise, director Bharat Sreenet stands by his creation. �This isn�t about religion,� he stated. �It�s about ideology. It�s about truth.� According to him, the film explores what led to the shocking crime, not to incite hate, but to spark awareness. With names like Rajneesh Duggal, Preeti Ghungiani, and Kanchi Singh in the cast, the film clearly aimed to deliver a hard-hitting narrative. But now, the question is has the edge been dulled beyond recognition?

There�s no red-carpet buzz here, no cheery release-day celebrations. Just tension, outrage, and speculation. Will Udaipur Files stand strong through the cuts, or collapse under the weight of its own controversy? With the censored version hitting the screens, the countdown begins, not just to a film release, but to the public�s verdict on truth, cinema, and how much of reality is �allowed� on screen.
