Housefull 5 gets U/A 16+ rating, CBFC censors words & cuts visuals
The upcoming comedy film ‘Housefull 5’ has received a U/A 16+ rating from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), but not without some modifications. The makers of the film have been asked to make changes to the content, including deleting a dialogue and replacing certain words.
According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, the CBFC has asked the filmmakers to modify the film, citing certain scenes and dialogues that do not meet the standards set by the certification board.
One of the major changes required by the CBFC is the deletion of a dialogue that occurs at 1 hour 53 minutes into the film. The exact nature of the dialogue has not been disclosed, but it is believed to be a sensitive topic that the CBFC has deemed unsuitable for all audiences.
In addition to deleting the dialogue, the CBFC has also asked the filmmakers to replace certain words and phrases in the film. These changes are believed to be minor and do not affect the overall storyline or plot of the film.
Another significant change made by the CBFC is the reduction of “sensual visuals” by two seconds in a particular scene. The exact nature of these visuals has not been disclosed, but it is believed to be a romantic or intimate scene that the CBFC has deemed too explicit for certain audiences.
A total of 11 seconds of footage have been edited from the film as part of the CBFC’s recommendations. These changes are believed to be minor and do not affect the overall pace or flow of the film.
The U/A 16+ rating is a common rating for Bollywood films, indicating that the film is suitable for viewers aged 16 and above. However, the modifications made by the CBFC suggest that the film may not be suitable for all audiences, including younger viewers.
The changes made by the CBFC are not uncommon in the Bollywood film industry. The certification board often asks filmmakers to make changes to their films to ensure that they meet the standards set by the government.
Despite the modifications, ‘Housefull 5’ is still expected to be a hit at the box office. The film features an ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, and Kriti Sanon, among others. The film is directed by Farhad Samji and is set to release soon.
In conclusion, ‘Housefull 5’ has received a U/A 16+ rating from the CBFC, but not without some modifications. The film’s makers have been asked to delete a dialogue, replace certain words, and reduce “sensual visuals” by two seconds. A total of 11 seconds of footage have been edited from the film as part of the CBFC’s recommendations. Despite the changes, the film is still expected to be a hit at the box office.
