The Indian film industry is in a state of outrage for the Central Board for Film Certification aka CBFC has banned 'A' certificate films entirely, for broadcasting on any television channels! As per this new rule, a movie certified with an 'A' certificate by the CBFC can't be screened on television channels.
So far, such films were censored for TV screening and were allowed to be screened after 11 pm. But now, the CBFC has announced that it'll not re-certify the films, thus meaning films with an A certificate are unfit for TV screening! This is an immense shocker for producers; as a bit of revenue from films comes from satellite rights and lots of films especially action entertainers have 'A' certificates because of the violent content or so. A ban on these films on TV goes to electrify the entertainment market at many levels and directors can be forced to return out with U films, even though the script demands otherwise. Do you settle with CBFC's decision? And what is going to happen to the movies that boast off an 'A' and feature been already bought by TV channels for whooping prices? Only time will tell the tale.
