The highly anticipated war drama, Border 2, is just two days away from its theatrical release on January 23rd, and the buzz is phenomenal. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news regarding its certification, and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has now cleared the film, handing over the censor certificate to the makers earlier today, January 21st.
CBFC's Green Light: No Major Cuts
In a significant development, the CBFC has given Border 2 a U/A 13+ certificate, indicating that the film is suitable for audiences aged 13 and above with parental guidance. This rating suggests that the film, despite its war theme, may not be excessively disturbing or gory, a relief for many viewers.
The most exciting news for fans is that the CBFC has not asked for any cuts in the dialogues or the high-octane action sequences. This means the intense war scenes that are a hallmark of the 'Border' franchise will be presented entirely untouched, preserving the director's vision.
Minor Changes Requested by CBFC
While major cuts were avoided, the CBFC did request a few minor modifications to ensure accuracy and compliance with guidelines:
• Character Naming: Sunny Deol's character in the credits will now explicitly feature his actual name, Fateh Singh.
• Flag Visuals: Indian flag visuals on war planes were replaced wherever they occurred in the film, adhering to specific guidelines.
• Warship Name: The name of the warship depicted in the film was replaced with 'Kavach'.
• Information Display: The duration and font size of information about the warriors were increased for better visibility and impact.
• Emblem Verification: Producers cross-checked the emblem shown on the shoulder, confirming its accuracy with the army and the family of Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya (played by Varun Dhawan).
Epic Runtime and Stellar Cast
Border 2 promises an immersive cinematic experience, with a substantial runtime of 199.07 minutes, translating to 3 hours, 19 minutes, and 7 seconds. This epic length ensures a comprehensive narrative that delves deep into its characters and storyline.
The film boasts a power-packed ensemble cast including:
• Sunny Deol
• Varun Dhawan
• Diljit Dosanjh
• Ahan Shetty
• And others
Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is a joint production by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar of T-Series, and J P Dutta and Nidhi Dutta of J P Films. With its U/A certificate and no major cuts, Border 2 is all set to deliver an unmissable patriotic cinematic spectacle this Friday.
