Mirzapur: The Movie has received its CBFC certification ahead of its theatrical release. The film was granted an ‘A' certificate after the makers agreed to several modifications suggested by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
CBFC Changes For Mirzapur: The Movie
According to Bollywood Hungama, the CBFC asked the makers to mute cuss words at four places and replace abusive language at six others.
Several dialogues were also modified, including the line “Galey se lag ja”. The board reportedly sought changes to a word used in the first half and the word “lanth”, meaning idiot, in the second half. A caste-related reference was also modified as part of the certification process.
