Life has not been easy for Pahlaj Nihalani since he took over as the chairperson of India's Censor Board of Film Certification. And much of it has been his own doing - from the silly video he made called Mera Desh Mahaan, where he showed the superpowers of Modi kaka, to his shortening the kissing sequence in last year's James Bond film Spectre.

So when Nihalani defended his Board's decision to give U/A certificate to Disney's latest film The Jungle Book, social media and commentators jumped at the news ridiculing and mocking the chairperson. Nihalani is an easy target and his statement supporting the Board's decision - that the 3D effects in the film are "scary" did not help him.

"Please don't go by the reputation of the book," Nihalani said to reporters, most of whom had not seen film. But they rejoiced at the chance to ridicule him, especially after he added: "It's not just the story that determines certification. It's the overall presentation, the packaging and most important of all, the visual effects used to tell the story. In The Jungle Book, the animals jumping at the audience in 3D is startling."
