BREAKING: Sunny Deol-starrer Batwara 1947 passed with an ‘A’ certificate by CBFC
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
As per the Central Board of Movie Certification (CBFC) website, Batwara 1947 has been passed with an adults-only rating. The certificate was handed over to the makers of the movie today, July 23. Further, the website states that the movie is 145.34 minutes long. In other words , Batwara 1947 has a run time of 2 hours, 25 minutes and 34 seconds.
Adding to this, It is rare for a Sunny Deol movie to receive an ‘A’ rating. Though his films often feature action and violence, they are usually aimed at family audiences. Since 2000, only six of his films have been rated ‘A’ – Champion (2000), Farz (2001), Karz: The Burden Of Truth (2002), Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani (2002), Mohalla Assi (2018) and Chup (2022). Interestingly, there was a 16-year gap between 2002 and 2018 during which none of his films received an ‘A’ certificate.
Meanwhile, Besides Sunny Deol, Batwara 1947 also stars Shabana Azmi, Preity Zinta, Ali Fazal and Karan Deol. The movie is highly awaited as it reunites Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi and moreover, it is produced by Aamir Khan. As per reports, Aamir will also be seen in the movie in a supporting role.
Notably, Batwara 1947 is based on the play, ‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya’, by Syed Asghar Wajahat. The Partition-era story revolves around a Muslim family which migrates from Lucknow to Lahore and is allotted a haveli vacated by a Hindu family. The old Hindu matriarch refuses to leave her ancestral home and she also strikes a rare bond with the Muslim immigrants.
