Bhobishyoter Bhoot, a “political satire” by filmmaker Anik Datta, was pulled out of several theatres in Calcutta a day after its release amid allegations that police had ordered the step by citing “popular sentiment” and potential “law-and-order trouble”. Datta said one of the producers of Bhobishyoter Bhoot had received a letter from the police before its release, saying that the film needed their clearance because certain portions might trigger trouble. At INOX South City, a section of the audience protested aloud when told that the film would not be screened. Actor Koushik Sen and several others condemned the alleged crackdown on Bhobishyoter Bhoot. “It’s a political satire and it pokes fun at every party,” said Sen, who has acted in the film.
