JANANAYAGAN VS CBFC | JANA NAYAGAN POSTPONED EXPLAINED!!

Описание: The Jana Nayagan vs. CBFC controversy arose when the Central Board of Film Certification delayed the certification of Jana Nayagan, Thalapathy Vijay’s much-anticipated final film before entering full-time politics, which was planned for a Pongal 2026 release; after the film was submitted in December 2025, the CBFC’s Examining Committee reportedly recommended a U/A certificate with certain cuts, which the producers complied with and resubmitted, but just days before release the CBFC unexpectedly referred the film to a Revising Committee based on an undisclosed complaint alleging objectionable political and religious content, effectively stalling certification and halting advance bookings; the producers challenged this move in the Madras High Court, arguing that once the Examining Committee’s recommendation was accepted and complied with, the CBFC had no authority under the Cinematograph (Certification) Rules, 2024, to reopen the process at the last minute, and the court initially agreed, directing the CBFC to issue the U/A certificate immediately; however, on the same day, a division bench stayed this order after the CBFC appealed, leaving the certification unresolved and the release postponed, while the case sparked widespread debate across the film industry and political circles about censorship overreach, transparency, freedom of expression, and whether India’s film certification system is being misused or weaponised, making Jana Nayagan a landmark legal battle that could shape how the CBFC operates in future.#JanaNayagan #CBFC #FilmCertification #CensorBoard #MadrasHighCourt #TamilCinema #FilmIndustry #CinemaNews #EntertainmentLaw #VijayFans
