CENSOR BOARD

                                        CENSOR BOARD



Censor board which is actually known as The Central Board of Film Certificate is a statutory body for censorship and classification under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India. The task of the censor board is to "regulate the public exhibition of films under the provisions of the Cinematography Act, 1952". Once the movie makers complete a film it will be screened in theatres and television only when censor board certifies it. The Central Board of Film Certificate was formed on 15 January 1951 and it's been 68 years now. The headquarters for the Censor board is in Bombay, Maharashtra. Films are certified under 4 categories: 1: "U" (unrestricted public exhibition)
2: "A" (restricted to adult audiences) 18+ ONLY. 3:"U/A" (unrestricted public exhibition subject to parental guidance for children below the age of  twelve). 4: "S" (restricted to specialized audiences).
Sometimes Censor board instead of granting one of the above categories, there is possibility of Board refusing to certify the movie. After the films gets certified they are screened in the theatres.

ONE ACT MOVIE This article is going to be about my experience on watching a movie that had all that a movie should have- hero, heroine, villain,story, jokes, emotions, dialogues, but with something really unique, the whole movie had only one person in it! The movie is " Otha Serupu Size 7 ".The entire two hours of the movie had only the actor Partibhan on screen and I could only hear the voices of the other characters ! How unique is that !I seriously did not even imagine such a thing would be possible. How could only one person act an entire movie by himself  ?

I must admit I was a little bored on watching him on screen for the whol...
