Paanch (transl. Five) is a 2003 Indian crime thriller film written and directed by Anurag Kashyap in his directing debut, starring Kay Kay Menon, Aditya Srivastava, Vijay Maurya, Joy Fernandes, and Tejaswini Kolhapure. The film is loosely based on the 1976–77 Joshi-Abhyankar serial murders in Pune.[1]
Paanch never got a theatrical or home-video release. The Central Board of Film Certification objected to the film's violence, depiction of drug abuse, and bad language.[2] After some cuts, the film was cleared in 2001,[3] but despite the director's protests it wasn't approved for release. The story was deemed too disturbing for the general public and the production lacked the budget for reshoots.[1]Paanch was later made available through torrent websites and screened at several film festivals.[4][5]
