From the Web (FTW) #23: CBFC clears Dhadak 2 after 16 cuts, including altered anti-caste references

Dharma Productions has been fighting with the CBFC for a long time over this PARIYERUM PERUMAL remake, with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri.
This Hindu article tells a lot of about what offended the Censors.
Sample: “One of the cuts says that the “Blue colour of the dog was removed”. The original film features a mystical sequence where a brutally killed dog’s blue-coloured spirit rescues the protagonist. In another scene, sixteen seconds of a three minute scene featuring the “humiliation of Nilesh’s father” was cut. A line saying, “Dharam ka kaam hai,” (“this is religious work”), was replaced with “Punya ka kaam hai” (“this is [work toward] a good deed”). “
My point is:
When another Censor Board (from Tamil Nadu) has already allowed the “blue dog scene” or the urination scene, can a new Censor Body object to these? Especially when the original is already available on video?
It’s confusing.
