| 6 | to enter the film industry. Late 60s scenarist and |
| 7 | dialogue writer in Hindi for Dulal Guha, B.K. |
| 8 | Adarsh, etc. Early 70s films (Chetna, Charitra) |
| 9 | sparked major censorship debates over nudity |
| 10 | and ‘ artistic licence’ of exploitation cineastes, |
| 11 | particularly because of their art-house claims |
| 12 | (cf. New Indian Cinema). His work indirectly |
| 13 | led to the governmental guidelines addressed |
| 14 | to the Censor Board (1979) directing the |
| 15 | deletion of ‘ scenes which have the effect of |
| 16 | justifying or glorifying drinking [and of] |
| 17 | vulgarity, obscenity and depravity’. Prolific |
