Discreet HC Mumbai CBFC: You are a board of certification and not a board of censorship; Read more to learn more

The Central Council for Film Certification and Indian filmmakers have a quarrel and a discussion about the content of the films and they are trying to come to a final conclusion. However, in some cases, when the filmmakers are dissatisfied with the CBFC's decision, they file a petition in favor of the settlement. And recently, the Bombay High Court received a petition from the Children's Film Society (CFS) in India, while the creators of Chidikhana wanted a "universal" certificate for the film. Judges Satyaranjan Dharmadhikari and Gautam Patel, hearing the petition, blamed the CBFC for failing to provide the same for a children's film based on child labor. One of the scenes contained an abusive word and that is why they refused to grant a "U" certificate even though officials had announced that they would delete that scene in particular. Justice Patel stated, "Are you (CBFC) ostriches? Put your head in the sand and pretend that something does not exist. We are wondering if your officials have children. You are a certification jury and not a jury of censors. we want to look and see. "

Judge Patel then added," No one has given you the intellectual morality and authority to decide what you want to look at and see. It looks like we may have to redefine entirely your role because you are training yourself. an opinion that the whole population is childish and foolish and that you are the only one who can decide for everyone with a minimum of intelligence. "

The judges also stated that if a film is aimed at children, it highlights issues such as racism, children or drug abuse, among other things, movies are the best way to explain According to reports, the High Court announced that the case would be heard again on August 5 and ordered the CBFC to file an affidavit to present its policy while certifying a film intended for children.
