Cinema and censorship have a close relationship in India. The Central Board of Film Certification regulates the film industry and orders directors to remove anything deemed offensive, including sex, nudity, violence, or politically subversive subjects. In 2002, the film "War and Peace" depicting nuclear testing and 9/11 was asked to make 21 cuts before receiving a certificate for release. Censorship in India's film industry could be seen as a tool for power politics, and whether it provides more advantages or disadvantages for Indian cinema is debated.
