CBFC Cuts Three Dialogues from Maalik: Exclusive Insights
After a series of family-friendly films, Rajkummar Rao is set to take on a new role that showcases a more intense side of his acting prowess in the upcoming movie Maalik. The film has generated buzz due to Rao’s striking appearance, a gripping trailer, and its appeal to a broader audience. Recently, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) completed the censoring process for the film, which has now been rated ‘A’, marking a significant return to adult-themed cinema for the actor after nearly seven years.
Censorship Details and Changes
The CBFC has made some modifications to *Maalik*, specifically altering two dialogues, although the exact content of these changes has not been disclosed. One notable dialogue, “Lallan ghar chod dega tujhe,” was replaced by the Examining Committee. The reasoning behind this alteration remains unclear, as the line appears innocuous without additional context. However, it is worth noting that the CBFC did not impose any cuts on the film’s visuals, allowing the action sequences to remain intact as envisioned by the filmmakers. Following these adjustments, *Maalik* received an ‘A’ certificate, indicating it is intended for adult audiences. The film’s runtime is officially listed at 152.17 minutes, which translates to approximately 2 hours and 32 minutes.
Rajkummar Rao’s Return to Adult Cinema
*Maalik* marks Rajkummar Rao’s first adult-rated film in nearly seven years. Early in his career, he starred in several films that were certified ‘A’, including *Love Sex Aur Dhokha* (2010), *Ragini MMS* (2011), *Shaitan* (2011), *Gangs of Wasseypur* (2012), and *Shahid* (2013). His film *Aligarh* (2016) also received an adult rating. In 2018, he featured in two more adult-themed films, *Omerta* and *Love Sonia*. However, as his career progressed and his popularity soared, Rao transitioned to more family-oriented projects. Films like *Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga* (2019) and *Stree* (2018) showcased his versatility while maintaining a U/A rating, making them accessible to a wider audience.
Cast and Release Information
In addition to Rajkummar Rao, *Maalik* features a talented ensemble cast, including Prosenjit Chatterjee, Manushi Chhillar, Huma Qureshi, Swanand Kirkire, and Saurabh Shukla. The film is directed by Pulkit and is set to hit theaters on July 11. With its powerful narrative and Rao’s compelling performance, *Maalik* is anticipated to resonate with audiences looking for a gripping action drama. As the release date approaches, excitement continues to build around this significant shift in Rao’s career trajectory.
