The government has made a big decision about film certification. Now, movies will get a rating based on age. This means kids will only see content that’s right for their age.
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry changed some old rules from 1991. These rules said how the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) could give ratings to movies. The CBFC can now give ratings like U/A 7+, U/A 12+, and U/A 16+ based on the content and type of movie.
New Ratings
The new notification says that kids aged 7 or older can watch certain movies with their parents’ guidance. These movies will get a U/A 7+ rating. Similarly, kids aged 13 or older can watch some movies with their parents’ guidance, and these will get a U/A 13+ rating. Movies for kids aged 16 or older will get a U/A 16+ rating.
The CBFC has been trying to improve its certification system since last year. They want to make sure that social values are promoted and that the right content reaches the right audience. They also want to modernize the certification process.
With this new system, parents can make informed decisions about what their kids can watch. The government hopes this will help kids see content that’s suitable for their age. The CBFC will make sure that movies are rated correctly so that kids don’t see anything that’s not right for them.
This change is a big step towards making sure that kids see the right kind of content. It’s a good move by the government to protect kids from inappropriate content. Now, parents can trust that the movies their kids watch are suitable for their age.
