Overview
- Tijori, in an Instagram post published Friday, said the CBFC’s practice of only partly muting cuss words in the theatrical cut makes no sense for an 18+ audience.
- He also called out a theatre-to-OTT gap, noting the same film streams uncut soon after release, which he said means kids can hear everything at home.
- Certification records cited by multiple outlets show the board ordered 21 changes, including cuts to extreme-violence shots, and granted an A certificate with a 3:49:36 runtime in India.
- Actor Suvinder Vicky said director Aditya Dhar wrote dialogue to avoid words that trigger beeps, underscoring how filmmakers tailor language to pass CBFC review.
- Reports note no formal response from the CBFC to Tijori’s claims, even as the film remains a major box-office draw in India and overseas.
