Jayan Cheriyan directorial Ka Bodyscapes has been rejected by the CBFC, for the third time, even after it had a court order in its favor. Reportedly, the Central Board of Film Certification refused to certify stating that the movie 'glorifies' gay and homosexual relationship.

"The second revising committee unanimously recommended 'Refusal' of certificate of the film. They felt that the film is glorifying the subject of gay and homosexual relationship, nudity accentuating vital parts of male body (in paintings) in closed shots in the whole movie. The film is explicit of scene offending human sensibilities depicting vulgarity and obscenity through the movie. The religion of Hindu is portrayed in a derogatory manner especially Lord Hanuman (shown in poor light as gay) which may cause law and order problem in society. The film contains posters depicting homosexuality throughout the movie and derogatory remarks against women. The film has references to Hindu organisations indirectly which is unwarranted,” reads the letter of the revising committee of CBFC which was made public by the director through his social media page.

Now, the makers have 30 days to appeal to Film Certification Appellate Tribunal against the order of the Revising Committee.
