CBFC Baffles Viewers: 'Good Fortune' Earns 'A' Rating Despite Family-Friendly Content

As of October 17th, 2025, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has once again faced criticism for its controversial rating decisions. This time, the Hollywood release 'Good Fortune' has been cleared without a single cut, yet the CBFC has granted it an 'A' (Adults Only) rating, leaving audiences perplexed.

According to industry sources, 'Good Fortune' is a film that can easily be enjoyed by the whole family, as it makes an important point about the haves and have-nots without any sex scenes or graphic violence. In fact, even the kissing scenes in the movie are considered mild. However, the CBFC has deemed the film unsuitable for family viewing, sparking outrage among industry insiders.

One source commented, "A film like 'Jaat' had a lot of violence and disturbing scenes, yet it got a U/A rating. Even 'Housefull 5', which reeked of vulgarity, didn't receive an 'A' rating from the CBFC. But a film like 'Good Fortune', which is completely family-friendly, is meant only for adults? This is truly baffling."

The decision has raised concerns about the CBFC's inconsistent and mysterious rating practices, with industry experts questioning the logic behind their decisions. As the film faces a limited window of opportunity at the box office, the 'A' rating is expected to affect its prospects, especially when it doesn't appear to be an adult-oriented movie.
