Censor Board orders 3 small cuts for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, film gets U certificate

The Censor Board of Film Certification has ordered three cuts from the upcoming Salman Khan starrer ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. The movie, which is directed by Sooraj Barjatya, has a scene where the word ‘rakhail’ is used and the censor board wanted it to be removed.

Barjatya is considered to be the cleanest directors and PRDP will be one of the few films to come out of Bollywood that will get the ‘cleanest’ certificate, which is ‘U’. Most other films get the U/A certificate which requires kids under the age of 12 to be accompanied by a parent.

The censor board is usually extremely strict when it comes to passing films with ‘U’ certificate. A source close to the film said “The makers decided to adhere to their suggestion”

The source added “The scene plays out with the film’s title track and was interspersed with two old songs in some portions. The Censor Board felt it was not suitable to accompany the Ram-Leela visuals. The other scene shows a person being hanged, but the examining committee wanted it to be a long shot. The makers have complied with all the suggestions. He is known for making the cleanest family films. In fact, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ has zero offensive content. This is the first time that such a thing has happened with Barjatya. This is truly shocking.”

The other two scenes that have been cut include a Ram-Leela sequence which had a couple of old, Hindi melodies playing in the background.

When Nandini Sardesai, member of the Board revising committee, was contacted she made the following comment “Every film has to go to the examining committee first and if the makers do not agree with its verdict, they approach the revising committee. But it has not come to us. The examining committee can’t talk (about the issue) as people are not supposed to know who are part of that panel.”

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo releases on the 12th of November. Besides Salman Khan, the movie stars Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Armaan Kohli.

  • god really loves salman. Otherwise he couldnt come back like this. God also loves others. Those who call him non-actor, dont know it is natural acting. Still salman may be not greatly talented but he supports young talent. If zarine & daisy shah went into hate story,salman recovered kat from boom & jacquline from murder series. In the mumbai industry, salman has been most unselfish to support a lot of people. I read in karan johar’s interview in a newspaper that he said that salman often calls him to give a chance to a young actor. Thats why i think varun said that he will try to make salman proud. Salman knows varun’s father greatly as he has worked with david dhawan in many films.

  • Barjatya sahab ?? movie ?? ???, ???? movies ??? 1?? ????? scene ???? ????, their is no big deal for them to receive U certificate from censor board

    #Waiting 4 da epic family bonanza
    #3 days to go for PRDP !!!!

  • personally;

    There are nothing in PRDP ( All outcomes i.e Posters to Trailer, Songs to Promos )

    PRDP may Hit or big Hit due to favorable conditions like Diwali Release, Solo release, Songs love by audiences specially girls
    but after some days people will forget PRDP like all recent films including Bajrangi and Magic like MPK & HPHK will not happen again.

    .
    PRDP will be Salman’s just next hit but don’t expect good film in form of PRDP

  • Frm Promos one thing is sure…PRDP wil b more entertaining than Bajrangi classic bhaijaan

    planning a diwali trip so wil watch PRDP next week

  • Ha ha ha ha ,I already said earlier this is asemi pornographic movie.just think how a man in old Hindi serial type was shouting in a big haunted type house to salman,tu rakhail hain!!!!!is this what you called barjatya a clean movie director?he is expert in playing with relations and made people fool and one of the most overrated director in Indian cinema who made heroes in his movie to shame like woman and salamn is the only actor who could give justice to the role as he is really shaming whenever meets shera.this barjatya-salamn jodi came to destruct family valued audience.and salman gave huge money to censor board to support this 90’s expired crapfest.peoples don’t iinvolve yourself in this saas-bahu serial torture movie in THIS DEEWALI.

    ACTUALI FAMILY FRIENDLY MOVIE IS COMING IN THIS DECEMBER—-DILWALE,BY ROHIT SHETTY WHO KNOWN FOR HIS FAMILY WATCHABLE MOVIES.unlike barjatya after watching crapfest,family member used to fight among themselves.REAL DEEWALI DHAMAKA WILL BE ON CHRISTMAS—-THE DEEWALI MAN IS COMING IN THIS CHRISTNAS.stay awake from this crapfest prdp and save your money for BIGGEST FAMILY MOVIE OF 2015—-DILWALE.

  • U Certificate means the movie can be watched by everyone . In the past movies like KMG, Krrish, Krrish 3 and TZP have got U Certificates . I was shocked when HNY got U Certificate last year . It had offensive dialogues such as Madar Chhod Naa Yaar, Raunchy Item Song and some words like Breast Taking . I was damn sure PRDP will get U Certificate and i am damn sure Hate Story 3 will get A Certificate .

  • SaaS bahu serial coming. Salman do something new. You are still stuck in 1990s along with sarookh while look at class actors aamir khan and hrithik roshan. They are doing far more intelligent,meaningful and class movies. You can never match Aamir and hrithik. Keep doing same wedding drama while aamir is in hid own league and dangal will shatter pk’s records everywhere. MD will also rock. But gunday-2 and raees has no chance.

  • Not sure why Barjatya even wanted U certificate. Technically it doesn’t make much difference with a U/A certificate. Kids under 12 are anyway gonna watch the film with their parents. Why make creative compromises if you’re not losing any audience? Seems weird.

  • @complan boy

    “Old expiry overacted semi pornographic movie”

    I guess you were watching Maya Memsaab on youtube AGAIN…!

  • Last Diwali censor board ordered only one (not 3 cuts) to Crappy New Yr which was remove the mythical King Charlie n his 300cr tsunami from the film…!

    After that the film had no chance

  • “Complanholic

    This Xmas your iconic ‘DIKWALE’ is coming to torment audiences with more absurd perverse family values like the ones shown in extra martital affair dvd titled KANK. This time around incest will be shown where varins papa Queen in the movie tries to not just woo Varuns morher in law Kajol but also varuns wife Kriti…!

  • @jadoo fan 7:08pm

    Aamir is doing new things like working with new directors n giving ATBBs but your jadoo boy when in trouble always runs back to papa to revive his career…!
