CBFC's e-Cinepramaan Update Restricts Public Access to Film Data

CBFC's e-Cinepramaan Update Restricts Public Access to Film Data

Imagine a website that showed which movies were allowed to be shown and what changes were made.

This website, run by the government for film certification, used to let everyone see this information.

Now, the website has changed.

You can no longer easily look up movie details or see the certificates, making it harder to know what changes are made to films.

People in the movie business worry this makes it harder to know if changes are fair.

They think it's a step backward because they believe the government doesn't want the public to see what cuts are being made.
