Here are the cuts : As per the re-censor certificate, one of the major changes is in the name of the character Balraj, alias Baba Bajrangi, the antagonist who leads a mob, which appears to be a reference to Bajrang Dal leader Babu Bajrangi who was sentenced to life imprisonment for masterminding the Naroda Patiya massacre as part of the Gujarat pogrom of 2002. The character has been renamed Baldev in the re-edited version. The display card mentioning the period of events as ‘India 2002’ has been changed to ‘a few years ago’. The visuals of vehicles passing in front of a religious structure, violence against women and visuals of dead bodies during the riot scenes in the film have also been removed. A conversation between a young Zayed Masood (played by the director of the film Prithviraj Sukumaran) and his father Masood during the riots has been removed. References to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is shown as being used by the ruling party against political opponents, also got the scissors. Audio mute has also been employed to cut out any mention of NIA.
