A member of the Censor Board tells his colleagues who have watched a film with him that it should get an "Adult" certificate. After all, he says, the hero appears shirtless in nearly seven scenes.
The others look puzzled.
"Ladki kare toh nude, ladka kare toh dude (we consider it 'nude' if it's a woman but 'dude' if it's a man who exposes)," he says.
The 30-second video has been watched over 1.6 lakh times since it was posted on YouTube last month.
It subtly makes a compelling statement against sexism as well as the recent over-reach by the Censor Board on content -a blatant attempt at moral policing, according to many in the film industry.
