Actor Deepak Tijori has questioned the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over the 'half-muted' cuss words in the film Dhurandhar: The Revenge, saying the practice left him confused about the intention behind such censorship.
Deepak Tijori took to Instagram and shared a black screen with Dhurandhar Part 2: The Revenge written on it along with a small red heart, writing, 'I must admit… maybe I'm missing something. Maybe I just don't have the kind of intellect that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) or its board members possess. Because I genuinely don't understand this — why mute half the abuses and let the other half stay? At places, keep some and fully mute some?'
He further pointed out, 'Especially when the film is already certified 18+, which clearly means it's meant for adults. So who exactly are we protecting here? And from what… half a word?'
The actor concluded, 'So I'm just trying to understand, honestly, how smart is it to 'half-mute' something in theatres for adults, when the same thing plays out in full volume at home soon after? Maybe there's a logic here I'm unable to see… or maybe, just maybe… we're overthinking the wrong things.'
Fans agreed with him and flooded the comments section, with one comment reading, 'Well said sir… It is really unfair to mute some words when everyone understands the meaning anyway.'
The film Dhurandhar: The Revenge, helmed by Aditya Dhar, has been receiving praise from audiences as well as celebrities and has broken records at the box office, collecting over ₹650 crore at the domestic box office and more than ₹1000 crore worldwide.
