The story is in that state and it depicts the people from that state," the court explained to which the CBFC's lawyer responded that the state should be projected correctly. "But is Punjab only known for drugs?" the judges wondered pointing out that there was another film on Moga - one of the cities which the Censor wants deleted - which depicted it as a cancer town. "That does not denigrate or bring it in disrepute." Hinting at the Board&#
