India’s newly reshuffled Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) also known as Censor Board has blocked the release of the erotic film ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ in India.
According to Reuters, a Universal Pictures source familiar with the review process said the board had objected to some of the film's dialogue, even after the studio made voluntary edits to the film to tone down its sex scenes and removed all nudity.
'Fifty Shades Of Grey' is a movie adaptation of the erotic novel of the same title by E.L. James. The book itself has come under criticism for its sadomasochist sexual content from the conservatives in the west as well.

The book is an international bestseller, though the movie hasn’t got good critical reviews. It stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in leading roles.
The CBFC has lately come under criticism for attempting to chop down cuss words from films. Even in the latest release ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ the board had objected to the use of the word ‘lesbian’.
In the case of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, the chief executive of the CBFC, Shravan Kumar, declined to reveal the reason why the film’s release has been blocked, but he said that Universal Pictures, and the Comcast Corp unit that released the film, could appeal the decision.
