Censor Board of Film Certification
The Censor Board of Film Certification is an Indian government body responsible for regulating and certifying films for public viewing. It ensures that movies adhere to certain guidelines regarding content, including violence, language, and sexual themes. The board assigns ratings such as U (Universal), A (Adult), and UA (Parental Guidance) to help audiences make informed choices.
Established under the Cinematograph Act of 1952, the board reviews films before their release in theaters. Its primary goal is to protect societal values while allowing creative expression. The board's decisions can significantly impact a film's commercial success and cultural reception in India.
