Sanjay Dutt’s comeback film Bhoomi, a story of a father’s revenge against his daughter’s rapists has been ordered 13 cuts by Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC), including a rape sequence.

The film’s director Omung Kumar is nonplussed as the rape forms the crux of the theme. Says an informed source, “The makers argued that the rape sequence is very important to the film. They even cited the example of the recent Sridevi starrer Mom where a rape was at the core of the plot. But the argument did not hold water as in Mom, no rape was shown. In fact, producer Kapoor had removed all the graphic suggestions of sexual violation to make the product more palatable to a family audience.”

The Bhoomi team has gone home with the cuts and a U/A certificate.
