Vishal Bhardwaj’s much-awaited film ‘Rangoon’ tanked at the box-office after several controversies revolving around it. Now, there might be some more issues for the makers as the movie was being screened in theatres without showing the certificate and the anti-smoking mandatory video.
CBFC Chief Pahlaj Nihalani said, “It has been brought to our notice that Rangoon has been playing in theatres across the country and outside India without the censor certificate and without the anti-smoking short films, which are compulsory for all films that show actors smoking and/or drinking. Rangoon had many scenes showing the main leads indulging in serious substance abuse. We asked the makers to put a disclaimer ahead of the opening credits. That disclaimer has gone missing. Now, we have been informed that the anti-smoking films do not play at the beginning and after the intermission. And also that the censor certificate is not flashed at the start, as per law. These are serious offences.”
