This is indeed sad news for the Indian film buffs as Daniel Craig-starrer The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will not be released in India!

The decision came out after the Censor Board of Film Certification wanted certain explicit scenes to be blurred. The Hollywood film’s producers Sony Pictures have reportedly decided not to compromise with the content and have scrapped plans to release the film here.

"The examining committee of the Censor Board, as per guidelines, asked that certain nude scenes in the film be blurred. The producers have the option of appealing once again after the initial decision was given by the Board," CBFC official JP Singh told the sources.

But it seems the producers had already decided to not release the film in India at all. "The producers haven’t communicated anything to the Board yet so we do not know whether the film is releasing in India or not," Singh added.

Producers Sony Pictures were unavailable for comment. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, also starring Rooney Mara, is based on the book of the same name by Swedish author Stieg Larsson about a journalist’s search for a missing woman.

The film, directed by David Fincher, released in the UK and US last month and has won five Academy Award nominations. Well, now the only option left for fans is to buy a DVD rather, which would also get available after a certain period!
