<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe buzz around Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge refuses to die down, but amid its roaring box office run, a curious debate has now taken centre stage. Actor-director Deepak Tijori<\/a> has called out what he sees as a puzzling inconsistency in the way films are censored for theatrical release versus how they are later consumed on OTT platforms.Taking to Instagram, Tijori shared a detailed note questioning the logic behind partially muting abusive words in theatrical versions, especially in films that are already certified for adult audiences.\u201cI must admit… maybe I\u2019m missing something. Maybe I just don\u2019t have the kind of intellect that the Central Board of Film Certification<\/a> (CBFC) or its board members possess,\u201d he wrote, setting the tone for his critique.He went on to add, \u201cBecause I genuinely don\u2019t understand this\u2014why mute half the abuses and let the other half stay? At places, keep some and fully mute some? Especially when the film is already certified 18+, which clearly means it\u2019s meant for adults. So who exactly are we protecting here? And from what… half a word?\u201d<\/p>\n Tijori further pointed out what he believes is a glaring contradiction in the system. Highlighting how films arrive on OTT platforms shortly after their theatrical run, he questioned the effectiveness of such censorship.\u201cAnd then comes the part that really confuses me\u2014the same film, within a month or two, releases on OTT… completely unmuted… untouched… exactly as it was meant to be. And that\u2019s where kids end up watching it… at home… sitting with family… with everything fully audible,\u201d he noted.\u201cSo I\u2019m just trying to understand, honestly\u2014how smart is it to \u2018half mute\u2019 something in theatres for adults, when the same thing plays out in full volume at home soon after? Maybe there\u2019s a logic here I\u2019m unable to see… or maybe, just maybe… we\u2019re overthinking the wrong things,\u201d he concluded, adding hashtags like #JustTryingToUnderstand and #CinemaLogic.<\/p>\n According to certification details from the Central Board of Film Certification, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge underwent several modifications before its release. Out of 21 suggested changes, four major ones involved toning down scenes of extreme violence, including sequences described as eye-smashing, beheading, and blunt-force attacks.Additional tweaks included correcting demonetisation dates in subtitles and replacing \u201cLahore\u201d with \u201cDelhi\u201d in the information text.The film has been granted an \u2018A\u2019 certificate and runs for 3 hours, 49 minutes and 36 seconds in India. Notably, the version cleared for Indian audiences is shorter than its overseas counterpart by over six minutes following the board\u2019s cuts. <\/p>\n Watch<\/span><\/p>\n Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge: The Untold Stories Behind The Biggest Blockbuster<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has been on a record-breaking spree since its release.
