Central Board of Film Certification

Central Board of Film Certification follows a standard for its rating of film and further distribution. However, for the ease of parents looking for the right content, 5 new categories are introduced so that they can make informed choices for their kids.

Under the unrestricted category we will now find 4 more sub-categories namely U, UA7+, UA13+, and UA16+. And there shall remain an A category that is restricted to adults only.

The age limits defined under UA category are 7+, 13+ and 16+ years. Now parents can easily distinguish what is right for their kids based on their age groups.

Many netizens appreciated this new move and stated that in the name of U certification many double meaning jokes and inappropriate content also gets delivered to viewers across all age groups. It is wise that films be categorised further so that kids stay away from unfiltered content and learn things against the values of our society.

While there were some who believed that this curbs the freedom of expression of the filmmakers. They stated that kids usually have access to all types of content through social media and the internet, so this is just a hoax.
