The Central Board of Film Certification has clarified that it has not refused certificate to the trailer of 72 Hoorain, as reported in the press. Co-producer Ashoke Pandit had spoken harshly about the refusal of certificate to his film’s trailer, following which many in the media reported about the same. However, the CBFC has now clarified that the trailer of the film was not refused certificate. It was submitted for certification recently and due process for the same is on.
The press note of the CBFC states: The trailer was applied to CBFC on 19-6-2023 and examined in accordance with the Guidelines issued under Section 5B(2) of the Cinematograph Act, 1952. The applicant was asked for requisite documentary submissions under intimation, and upon receipt of the same, certification was granted subject to modifications. A show cause notice communicating the modifications was issued to the applicant/filmmaker on 27-6-2023 and the same is pending for the applicant’s response/compliance.
Incidentally, the film was granted ‘A’ certificate on 4-10-2019.
