Director Vikram Bhatt, known for the recent hit film ‘Haunted 3D,’ shared insights on the changing landscape of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Speaking during the movie’s promotion, Bhatt highlighted the evolving dynamics in the early 2000s, influenced by global and Indian economic shifts, leading to a more lenient approach by regulatory bodies like the CBFC and the government.
According to Bhatt, the CBFC and authorities became increasingly open to diverse storytelling, especially in adult-themed content, reflecting a shift in societal norms. He cited the example of the film ‘Kasoor,’ suggesting that such narratives might have faced obstacles in earlier decades due to audience perceptions. Bhatt emphasized the role of audience maturity in shaping film content, noting that a more accepting viewership encourages filmmakers to explore varied themes.
In addition to his observations on film certification, Bhatt praised the audience’s evolving sensibilities, which impact filmmakers’ creative choices. He highlighted the importance of audience acceptance in influencing the types of films produced, indicating a symbiotic relationship between filmmakers and viewers in shaping cinematic narratives.
The horror film ‘Haunted 3D,’ featuring actors like Mimoh Chakraborty and Shruti Prakash, offers an immersive 3D experience enhanced by cutting-edge technology for heightened scares. Currently screening in theaters, the movie aims to deliver a thrilling cinematic experience to audiences seeking a new dimension in horror entertainment.
