‘Jagga Jasoos’ given U/A certificate by CBFC

Despite the film’s musical theme, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has surprised many by awarding this weekend’s film ‘Jagga Jasoos’ a U/A certificate.

A source told BollywoodLife, “The film was submitted for certification on Thursday, and was cleared on Friday afternoon.”

A source close to Anurag Basu told, “We wonder what the censor board saw in Jagga Jasoos that made it suitable for children only accompanied by an adult.” The movie, which was in the making for around four years, is about a boy’s journey to find his father.

However, censor chief Pahlaj Nihalani defends the film’s ‘U/A’ certification arguing, “Let the film release. The world will see why we think it is necessary for children to be accompanied by an adult.”

‘Jagga Jasoos’ releases on Friday 14th July 2017.
