Dhurandhar screening halted in Bhopal

Ranveer Singh starrer and Aditya Dhar directorial Dhurandhar is currently running in the theatres, with the audience enjoying the film. However, a screening at a multiplex in Bhopal on Sunday was halted after a family brought their kids to watch the adult action thriller.

A video is going viral on social media from the theatre after a family with toddlers and teenagers under the age of eighteen was spotted watching an "Adult" rated film. Following the chaos, the screening had to be temporarily halted.

The incident was captured on camera, allegedly from Bhopal's Ashima Mall. Since then, the video has appeared on social media and is going viral. Netizens are strongly criticising the parents in the video.

Dhurandhar's age rating

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given the movie Dhurandhar an "A" rating, indicating that it is only appropriate for adults (18+). The film was certified as unsuitable for young audiences because of the film's violent action scenes, profanity, and mature themes.

The CBFC ordered the producers to make a number of adjustments before the film was approved for theatrical release in India. These included changing the name of a minister's character, adding Hindi voiceover disclaimers along with anti-smoking and anti-drug warnings, toning down or replacing some violent visuals, and muting one profanity word.

The end credits also included extra scenes and music. The certificate, which only pertains to the movie and emphasises its mature nature, permits its release in spite of significant criticism.
