Certification and Cuts

'Mirzapur The Movie' has been passed with an 'A' certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on Saturday, August 29, as per information shared by Bollywood Hungama. The film, which has a runtime exceeding three hours, received several cuts before the censor certificate was issued.

The CBFC asked for modifications in both audio and visual content. Cuss words were muted at four places, while at six places, abuses were replaced with 'appropriate' words. The dialogue 'Galey se lag gar' was also modified. In the first half of the film, a word was replaced with 'kamar', and in the post-interval part, the word 'lanth', which means idiot, was asked to be modified. A caste reference was also asked to be modified.

Regarding visual cuts, the makers were asked to reduce intimate scenes by 50% through suitable modifications in visuals and sound. This reduction was applied to two scenes, one in the first half and one in the second half, resulting in a total of 35 seconds of intimate scenes being deleted.

Notably, no violent or gory scene was censored by the CBFC. The certificate mentions that the film was passed by the Revising Committee of the CBFC. Typically, the Examining Committee is the first to view a film, and when it requests several modifications, makers can approach the Revising Committee, which reviews the film and makes the final call on certification and suggested modifications.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
