Margarita With A Straw is a coming of age film about a young girl who has Cerebral Palsy and is travelling to another country where she struggles to find out her true identity. The film is also about coming out of the closet and accepting oneself as you are. Actor Aamir Khan himself came forward to show tremendous support for the promotion of the film. Director of Shonali Bose is outraged with the Censor Board’s decision to make multiple cuts in the film.

Reportedly the Film Certification Board has asked the makers of the film to edit certain scenes some of which include a 12 seconds long kiss between the lead characters, a scene where Kalki is seen showing her middle finger and a scene where Kalki has been helped to remove her undergarments and she is shown peeing.
