Udta Punjab will fly high: Twitter goes ecstatic after Bombay High Court's landmark verdict
Bollywood is ecstatic after the Bombay High Court on Monday overruled the CBFC recommended 13 cuts to the film Udta Punjab and cleared it for release with one cut and three disclaimers.
A division bench comprising Justice SC Dharmadhikari and Justice Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi also directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to issue an 'A' Certificate to the film which is scheduled for release on Friday, 17 June.
Featuring Alia Bhatt, Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh, Udta Punjab shows the rising drug menace in the Indian state of Punjab.
As soon as the high court passed the verdict on the issue, #UdtaPunjabVerdict trended on Twitter. And here's how the people from the film fraternity are reacting to the news:

Censor chief stifled creativity & years of hard work, made a filmmaker vulnerable and spoilt India's image. HC saved it #UdtaPunjabVerdict
