Madras HC to view ‘Manushi' as CBFC demands 37 cuts
The movie was produced by film director Vetrimaram.
Justice Anand Venkatesh passed the order as CBFC informed the court that it requires 37 cuts in the film. The issue pertains to a plea moved by Vetrimaran, alleging that CBFC denied certification to the movie without a review. On June 4, Justice Anand Venkatesh told CBFC to specify the objectionable, visuals, and dialogues by June 16 or to watch the movie with producer and point out objectionable portions to him.
The film, starring Andrea, is directed by Gopi Nainar. It revolves around a woman who is arrested on false charges and her plight as an undertrial prisoner.

Vetrimaran moved the court, alleging that he was not allowed to voice his opinion before the CBFC made its decision.
The CBFC denied certification to the movie on the grounds that it went against the integrity of the state, contained scenes that were contemptuous, defamed govt policies, portrayed stereotypes leading to a north/south divide, and had many scenes that were against the interests of the country.

Coolie Box Office Day 8: Rajinikanth's Film Inches Close To Rs 230 Crore Despite Weekday Dip
Last Updated: Rajinikanth's film earned Rs 6.25 crore on its eighth day, pushing its total domestic collection to Rs 229 crore. Superstar Rajinikanth's latest film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, continues its strong run at the box office despite a gradual weekday slowdown. Facing stiff competition from Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR's War 2, the film has nonetheless crossed the Rs 200 crore mark in India. Coolie opened to massive crowds over the Independence Day holiday weekend, but the action thriller has since seen a dip in momentum. According to Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 6.25 crore on its eighth day, pushing its total domestic collection to Rs 229 crore. On Thursday, the film drew audiences across multiple regions and languages. Tamil screenings recorded an overall occupancy of 17.67%, while the Telugu version saw 14.99%. The Hindi version trailed with 10.64% occupancy. Coolie's Spectacular Opening Coolie opened with a bang, raking in ₹65 crore on its first day. The momentum continued as the film collected Rs 54.75 crore on Day 2, followed by Rs 39.5 crore on Day 3. Coolie: Plot And Cast Coolie follows the story of Deva, played by Rajinikanth, a former union leader who uncovers the truth behind the tragic death of his close friend Rajasekhar. His pursuit of justice sets him on a dangerous collision course with powerful crime boss Simon (Nagarjuna) and his ruthless aide. The film also stars Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Upendra and Aamir Khan in pivotal roles. While reviews have been mixed regarding the film's premise, Rajinikanth's trademark energy, charisma, and screen presence have drawn widespread praise from fans. Despite its impressive run, Coolie is yet to surpass the lifetime earnings of Lokesh Kanagaraj's earlier blockbusters. His 2022 hit Vikram grossed Rs 247 crore net in India, while Leo went even further, collecting over 340 crore net. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
