Kissing scenes: Censor to use same yardstick for Hollywood, Bollywood
Mumbai, Aug 8 (IANS) Hollywood films were allowed more kisses even for films certified for all ages, but now in a bid to stop allegations of discrepancies in the certification of Indian and international films, the censor board has decided to treat kissing scenes in Hollywood and Bollywood with the same yardstick. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has clamped down on a deep-mouth French kiss in the Lasse Hallstrom’s “The 100 Foot Journey”, which features Om Puri and Helen Mirrren as two warring restaurateurs who come together to cook up a romantic dish. The torrid kiss that the CBFC objected to doesn’t feature Puri and Mirren. It’s Manish Dayal, (seen as Om Puri’s onscreen son Hassan Kadam), and his French girlfriend played by Charlotte Le Bon, who share a torrid tongue-to-tongue that sent the CBFC into a tizzy.

Rajan’s tough inflation stance risks stand-off with government
By Suvashree Dey Choudhury and Manoj Kumar MUMBAI/NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Raghuram Rajan has set himself a target of lowering consumer inflation and is even ready to raise rates to achieve it, risking friction with the new government if he is seen as overstepping. Rajan, well known within the RBI for pragmatism, now must work with the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which understands the need for – and wants – lower inflation, but doesn’t see the value in hard targets. The governor’s people skills may be tested when Finance Minister Arun Jaitley attends Sunday’s RBI board meeting in Delhi, representing a government that is equally keen on boosting an economy that has just had two consecutive years of sub-5 percent growth. The meeting comes after Rajan, the star economist appointed by the previous Congress government, surprised markets after the RBI’s policy review on Tuesday by establishing in clear terms that the RBI would get consumer inflation down to 8 percent by January 2015 and 6 percent one year later.
