Kerala High Court Sets Oct. 25 Screening of ‘Haal’ to Review CBFC Cuts

The judge will view the film to evaluate censor-board objections to scenes flagged for religious and socio‑cultural sensitivity.

Overview

  • Justice V. G. Arun will watch the Malayalam film on October 25 at around 7 p.m., with the filmmakers and CBFC present.
  • The viewing is expected at Padamugal Colour Planet studio in Kakkanad, with the case listed next on October 30.
  • The CBFC revising committee recommended an A certificate only after deletions and modifications, citing sensitive content.
  • Requested changes include removing a beef biryani scene, a burqa disguise sequence, certain political-religious references, blurring an institution’s name, and altering a police interrogation scene.
  • Producer Juby Thomas and director Veera seek a screening certificate, fresh certification guidelines, and an advocate commission, as the Catholic Congress has intervened alleging the film hurts Christian sentiments.
