Housefull 5 gets U/A 16+ rating, CBFC censors words & cuts visuals
The much-awaited film ‘Housefull 5’ is all set to hit the screens soon, but before that, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has put its foot down, giving the film a U/A 16+ rating and asking the makers to make some significant changes. As per the latest reports, the CBFC has censored a dialogue, modified certain words, and even edited some visuals to tone down the film’s content.
The news has left fans of the film and the franchise’s loyal following in a state of excitement and curiosity. With only a few weeks left for the film’s release, the makers of ‘Housefull 5’ are busy making the necessary changes to ensure that the film meets the CBFC’s guidelines.
The dialogue that has been asked to be deleted occurs at the 1 hour and 53 minutes mark in the film. The exact nature of the dialogue has not been revealed, but it’s clear that the CBFC felt it was necessary to remove it to maintain the film’s family-friendly rating. This move has raised a few eyebrows among fans of the franchise, who are eager to know what the deleted dialogue was about.
Apart from the deleted dialogue, the CBFC has also asked the makers to replace certain words in the film. While the specific words that were asked to be replaced have not been revealed, it’s clear that the CBFC felt they were too strong or offensive for a U/A 16+ rated film. This move is seen as a necessary step to ensure that the film maintains its family-friendly rating and does not offend any section of the audience.
The most significant change, however, is the reduction of sensual visuals in the film. A scene featuring “sensual visuals” has been reduced by a whopping two seconds, which is a significant editing job considering the film’s runtime. This move has sparked a lot of debate among fans, with some arguing that the CBFC is being too harsh and others praising the move for maintaining the film’s family-friendly rating.
The total amount of footage edited from the film comes to a staggering 11 seconds. While it may not seem like a lot, it’s clear that the CBFC took its job very seriously and was determined to ensure that the film met its guidelines. The edited footage includes a mix of dialogue, visuals, and other elements that were deemed not suitable for a U/A 16+ rated film.
Despite the changes, the makers of ‘Housefull 5’ are confident that the film will still be a hit with audiences. The franchise has a loyal following, and fans are eager to see what the new film has to offer. With its star-studded cast, including Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, and Riteish Deshmukh, ‘Housefull 5’ is all set to be a laugh riot that will entertain audiences of all ages.
In conclusion, the CBFC’s decision to censor ‘Housefull 5’ is a necessary step to maintain the film’s family-friendly rating. While some fans may be disappointed by the changes, it’s clear that the CBFC took its job very seriously and was determined to ensure that the film met its guidelines. With its star-studded cast and promise of non-stop entertainment, ‘Housefull 5’ is all set to be a hit with audiences, U/A 16+ rating and all.
