CBFC certification rules

Do the CBFC's revised certification guidelines strike the right balance between content standards and creative freedom?

📍 India

In mid-September 2026 the Central Board of Film Certification issued revised guidelines. They include six certification categories, a mandatory anti-drug warning during drug scenes, and bars on content seen as communal, obscurantist, anti-scientific or anti-national. The changes drew online criticism and support (reported 18-19 September 2026).
