Censor Rules Tightened More

The censor board has become a major problem for Telugu cinema. In recent times, filmmakers have been facing several challenges with censor certification. More than reviews, audience reactions and box office expectations, getting a censor certificate on time has become a big concern for many movies.

The latest advisory from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has added another rule for filmmakers. The board has made it clear that films must be submitted in their complete and final form. This includes final background music, sound mixing, visual effects, graphics and other technical elements also.

Earlier few of the filmmakers used to submit incomplete versions of their movies for censor review. But they would complete the remaining work, including background music and visual effects while the certification process was going on. This helped them manage tight release schedules.

However new instructions may put an end to this practice. Films submitted with temporary elements, incomplete prints or unfinished technical work may face delays or rejection. The board has also clarified that an announced release date will not speed up the certification process. Every film must follow the same rules and procedures. Producers are now being advised to submit their films well in advance.

If not it can cause problem to promotions, pre booking and everything related to movie. Filmmakers are already dealing with high production costs, changing audience tastes and growing competition at the box office. Now censor-related issues are adding more pressure to their plans. With all this, we have to wait and see, how the movies in coming days are going to get effected with this and how they are going to manage.
