•Sudipto Sen's film 'Charak: Fair of Faith' denied certification by CBFC, sent to review committee weeks before March 6 release.
•Sen describes 'Charak' as a "matter-of-fact documentation" of occult practices within Hindu cult groups, including alleged human sacrifice and ritual cannibalism.
•CBFC suggested cuts, particularly in sequences depicting cannibalism, but Sen states grounds for denial remain unclear.
•Sen insists the film is an exposé of illegal and superstitious practices, not an ideological provocation, and questions if cinema should ignore such truths.
•The film reportedly links missing children to ritualistic practices; Sen faces familiar pattern of controversy, stating "silence in the face of uncomfortable truth is not an option either."
