How CBFC Passed The Movie and Why It Got Rated ‘A’
The highly anticipated Bollywood film Cocktail 2 recently secured its censor certificate in India. First, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) officially granted it an ‘A’ (Adults Only) rating. However, fans received some very surprising news about this specific rating decision. Specifically, the censor board passed the entire movie without demanding a single visual cut. Therefore, all romantic and intimate scenes will remain completely intact for the audience.
Meanwhile, the strict board did ask the makers for a few minor audio modifications. For instance, they firmly asked the production team to remove a specific cuss word from the English subtitles. Additionally, the creators quickly replaced the word “Agni” with “Diya” throughout the entire dialogue track. Finally, they also censored the controversial phrase “Jew on the run” from the final cinematic cut. Consequently, the romantic drama easily cleared the entire certification process on June 16.
Moreover, this new certification creates an interesting historical milestone for the main cast members. Specifically, this actually marks Kriti Sanon’s very first adult-rated film in her long acting career. On the other hand, Rashmika Mandanna proudly scores her second A-rated movie after the massive box-office success of Animal. Furthermore, Shahid Kapoor continues his mature acting streak with his fifth adult-rated cinema project.
Overall, the final movie features a total runtime of 149 minutes and 19 seconds. Essentially, the dramatic film acts as a spiritual sequel to the original 2012 hit. Indeed, talented director Homi Adajania returns to helm this brand-new story about complex modern relationships. Ultimately, eager fans can joyfully catch this exciting new release in local theaters starting today.
