She said the films could be safely shown between 11 pm and 4 am and also revealed that the I&B ministry was thinking of creating an adult viewing time zone on TV.

In the interview, Tagore also suggested that instead of censoring movies, ‘A+’ or ‘X’ rating could be given to those meant for adult audiences

From here Kissing is alright, but not pornography- The Times of India

actually she didn't say that for x rated movies.
she said that she wants the censors to pass explicit movies as x rated.
(which can then be shown in cinema halls)
for tv they are considering allowing explicit language after time slot.
btw which channel was showing A movies anyway. not hbo or star movies.

hehe i know.. just decided to spice the title a bit

but i guess those 18+ movies they used to show on star movies last time are categorized as A ? they dont show then anymore

Safin

yeah actually the only time i think star showed 18+ movies was 6 years back(and i reckon they were horror movies

)

actually no one has a problem i they ban explicit content. atleast show the movie after removing it. now its like blackout

Safin

btw that interview is on cnn ibn atm.

What is their definition of A rated or Pornographic material? Tons of movies on HBO and Star Movies are cut because of boobies.

i saw a ben affleck movie this morning on star movies where he clearly says "boobies" LOL

Safin

umm but then its no longer an "A" movie right.

And about words, they usually blank those(but i have a feeling its not the words that the gov is worried about

)
