India's film censorship board has barred Sony Pictures' channel from telecasting Oscar-recognized film,The Danish Girl.
The movie was slated to air on Sunday. However, the film authority objected to its supposedly "sensitive storyline" and dubbed it "unsuitable" for audiences below 18.

The broadcaster tweeted: "We regret to inform you that Sony Le Plex HD is unable to telecast the television premiere of the award-winning filmThe Danish Girl on March 26 as the necessary certification to enable the telecast of the movie has not been received."

“The whole subject is controversial, and it’s unsuitable to be viewed by children. It talks about a man who wants a sex change and has a genital operation to become a woman. The subject is sensitive and how do you edit a subject like that?” Mumbai Mirror quoteda Censor Board member as saying.
The Danish Girlwon an Oscar for Alicia Vikander, who plays Redmayne's wife, in the Best Supporting Actress category last year.
Indians took to social media to express their disappointment.

The Danish Girlis hardly the first high-profile film to face the Censor Board's axe.
Earlier this year, the Board removed the word "prostitute" from the 2017 Oscar-winning Iranian film The Salesman because they found it objectionable.

"Mann ki baat" is a common phrase translating to "straightforward talk." It's also the name of prime minister Narendra Modi's radio show.
What does the Censor Board want really?
