The Hindi film Awarapan 2 has been granted a U/A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification after the removal of obscene language and a 50% reduction in violent scenes.
The Hindi film Awarapan 2 has received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) following a series of content edits. The board approved the film after the producers replaced all instances of obscene language with cleaner alternatives and reduced the intensity of violent sequences by half.
CBFC guidelines require that films with strong language or graphic violence be appropriately rated. By cutting the violent content by 50 percent and sanitizing the dialogue, the makers ensured the film met the criteria for a U/A rating, which allows viewers of all ages to watch with parental guidance.
The decision means Awarapan 2 can now be screened nationwide without the restrictions that a higher rating would impose. The film’s release is expected to proceed as scheduled, with the CBFC’s certification confirming it complies with India’s film‑rating standards.
While no official statements from the director were released, the CBFC’s approval indicates that the changes satisfied the board’s concerns about offensive language and excessive violence.
