In Bollywood, Soha Ali Khan and Vir Das's political drama 31st October releases today. The movie is based on the 1984 Sikh Riots and set against the backdrop of the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
"It would be really unreasonable to stop the film's release. I am happy that the film is releasing. One can criticize a film only after watching it completely," said Vir Das
"They (CBFC) were like 'why are you raising that topic again'? They asked for 40 cuts but due to our persistence only nine cuts took place," said the producer of 31st October
For him, it was not a cake walk to get into the serious genre after being part of comedies
