Yesterday, Bollywood Hungama reported that Ajay Devgn’s much-awaited film, Maidaan, has been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a U/A certificate and zero cuts. Today, we shall report on the censor details of the other Eid release, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
Bollywood Hungama has learned that Bade Miyan Chote Miyan has also got a U/A rating from the Examining Committee of the CBFC. However, the makers were asked to make certain modifications. 14 seconds of visuals were blurred in three different scenes. At around 57 minutes, a scene was reduced by 19 seconds or in other words, by 25%. In the absence of any detail, it’s not clear whether the scene had violence or intimacy. Then, in one scene, the name of a brand was replaced; again, no details were provided. Finally, a disclaimer was added in a scene of liquor consumption. Lastly, the makers had to submit a letter to the CBFC which gave clarification for the use of symbols, signs, uniform code and other details related to the Armed Forces.
Once these changes were made, the censor certificate was granted to the makers of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The length of the film, as mentioned on the certificate, is 164 minutes. In other words, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is 2 hours and 44 minutes long. It releases on Wednesday, April 10.
