Kelvikuri, the first film from actor/director/producer Jailani has run into problems (via) with the Indian Censor board.

On the premise that the film depicted the police force in poor light, the Censor asked 2 police officers to see the film. When they police officers said they were horrified at the depiction of the police in the film, the Censor Board refused to give the clearance certificate.

What is so terrible in ‘Kelvikuri’ for such strict action?

Simple! The hero’s wife is taken by police for interrogation. There she dies under mysterious circumstances and no satisfactory explanation is given. The angry hero barges into the police commissioner’s house and makes hostages of the inmates. He then invites the police officers one by one and takes revenge on them.

Of course, blocking a film for not depicting them as all sweetness and light casts a far worse shadow over the police force than any film could manage.
