Ribhu Dasgupta has sailed through censor board unscathed with his first feature film TE3N, starring Amitabh Bachchan. A source from the Censor Board says, “We viewed the film and found it powerful and relevant. The content is hard-hitting. And because the theme is crime and investigation a U/A certificate was warranted. But to cut even a single moment would have harmed the film.”
The much relieved and happy director Ribhu Dasgupta says, “As filmmakers, our intention is always to make the best of films. And while we make a film we never think of how the censor board will react to it. We do what is best for the film. But now after seeing the film the Censor Board has given us a clean go without any cuts, which I think is really great.”
