What happens

Kangal Malsat ("War Cry of the Have-Nots") is a 2013 Indian Bengali-language political satire film directed by Suman Mukhopadhyay and based on the novel of the same name written by Nabarun Bhattacharya. As of February 2013, the Central Board of Film Certification denied approval of the film, citing distortion of history, excessive use of abusive language, sexuality, and the portrayal of social movements in a harmful way. The film got clearance in the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal in the first week of March 2013. Finally the film was set to be released on 2 August 2013. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
