Bandar Film: Censor Board Mandates Cuss Word Replacements
4 Jun
Summary
- Censor Board mandated dialogue changes for abusive language.
- No visual cuts were requested by the Censor Board.
- The film 'Bandar' was granted an 'A' certificate after changes.
The dark drama 'Bandar,' featuring Bobby Deol and directed by Anurag Kashyap for the first time, is scheduled for release on June 5. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) recently completed the censor process, granting the film an 'A' certificate. No visual cuts were requested by the Examining Committee, a positive development given the film's theme.
However, numerous dialogue adjustments were necessary, predominantly involving the replacement of explicit abusive language. Words such as 'b**** c***' were changed to 'banjo,' and other extreme cuss words were substituted with milder alternatives. While specific visual alterations were avoided, the dialogue modifications were extensive.
The film's runtime is 130.27 minutes (2 hours, 10 minutes, and 27 seconds). Following the mandated changes, 'Bandar' received its censor certificate on May 30. The film also features Sapna Pabbi, Sanya Malhotra, and Saba Azad, among others.
