The Regional Censor Officer is in the news for all the wrong reasons. After RCO Natasha Dsouza walked out of the meeting from the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce, whatever goodwill was there is also lost.

1. It was the censor officer who wanted to come to the film chamber to sort out the issue of Kiragoorina Gayyaligalu. There is no one else to blame.

2. Walking out of a meeting without even informing anyone was not expected of a Central Government employee. It sends a wrong signal.

3. The protest against Censor Board was made by general public and other film personalities and not the makers of Kiragoorina Gayyaligalu. Censor officer failed to understand this.

4. If the officer did not know Kannada, it was better to understand the meaning from others before deleting or muting them.

5. The officer suggesting the film makers to go to the revising committee after issuing a certificate is absurd. Everyone knows it is not possible once a certificate is issued.

6. By refusing to listen to the requests itself, the problem has been escalated. All that the film industry and film makers wanted was an assurance that future films won't be affected. But instead of listening, walking out infuriated others.

Now the film makers and others have decided to go on a "chaddi" strike in front of the Censor Board.

Despite many controversies and problems 'Kiragurina Gayyaligalu' directed by Sumana Kittur is running to packed houses across Karnataka. Kiragurina Gayyaligalu is based on the very famous novel of the same name by Poornachandra Tejaswi. Based on the novel, Suman Kittur and Agni Sridhar has written the screenplay, while Sridhar has written the dialogues for the film also.

The film stars Shwetha Srivatsav, Priyanka Chandra, Manasa Joshi, Sonu Gowda, Sukrutha Wagle, Kishore, Achyuth Kumar, Sharath Lohitashwa and others in prominent roles.

Prominent personalities have come out in the open against the Censor Board for giving unreasonable mutes to the film Kiragoorina Gayyaligalu. All the mutes made in the film by the Censor are words that late writer Poornachandra Tejaswi used in the story decades ago. 

At 11 am, tomorrow, Thursday, a  team led by director B Suresha, Indudhara Honnapura and Dwarakanath and others will protest and submit a memorandum to the Censor board officer against muting of dialogues of the Sumana Kittur's directed film Kiragoorina Gayyaligalu. Hundreds of like minded people, lovers of films and fans of Poornachandra Tejaswi will participate in the protest.

The Censor's mistake is clearly evident. Some words and dialogues that was allowed in the trailer and promo of the film was forced to delete in the actual film.
