CBFC Mandates Edits for Sunny Deol’s *Jaat*
As anticipation builds for the release of *Jaat*, starring Sunny Deol, the film has undergone significant changes mandated by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Set to hit theaters tomorrow, April 10, the action-packed film follows Deol’s recent success with *Gadar 2*. With the censoring process completed just two days prior to its release, details of the edits reveal a total of 22 scenes were altered to meet certification standards.
Major Scene Alterations Announced
The CBFC’s review led to the modification of various dialogues and visuals in *Jaat*. Notably, an unspecified abusive term was replaced with the word ‘Madarjaat’, while other cuss words were substituted with ‘Nikamma’ and ‘Besharmo’. The term ‘B*******d’ was also altered to a more acceptable phrase. Additionally, a dialogue was changed to ‘Khata nahin, pita nahin’, reflecting the board’s effort to ensure the film aligns with its content guidelines.
Visual alterations were equally extensive. Certain scenes, including a lady police inspector’s humiliation, were reduced by 40%, as was a scene depicting female molestation. A violent sequence involving a body being cut was trimmed by 30%. Furthermore, visuals of e-cigarettes were completely removed, indicating the board’s strict stance on certain themes.
CGI Replacements and Scene Cuts
In a move to enhance the film’s presentation while adhering to censorship rules, the CBFC requested that ten scenes be replaced with CGI. These included graphic depictions such as throat-cutting, bloodshed on an ice block, and the mishandling of a baby. Other sensitive visuals, like the national emblem being misused in a fight scene, were also flagged for alteration.
Overall, the changes resulted in the removal of 2 minutes and 6 seconds of footage, with 1 minute and 37 seconds replaced with more appropriate visuals. This extensive editing process reflects the CBFC’s commitment to maintaining a certain standard in Indian cinema.
Final Certification and Film Length
After implementing the required changes, *Jaat* received a U/A 16+ certificate from the CBFC. The film’s final runtime is officially listed at 153.31 minutes, or 2 hours and 33 minutes. As the release date approaches, fans are eager to see how these edits will impact the film’s narrative and overall reception. With the excitement surrounding *Jaat*, it remains to be seen how audiences will respond to the changes made in light of the CBFC’s guidelines.
