New Delhi: It’s good news for ‘Befikre’ fans. Well, the Central Board of Film Certifcation has passed an U/A certificate on Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor’s ‘Befikre’ trailer. And the biggest thing is that it has passed the certificate even after the trailer showcased 12 hot kisses with its first trailer. We are not sad about this fact, of course it’s a good news but Certification Board seems to oppose itself. Well, this is the same Certification Board that had a problem with the ‘bra’ scene in Baar Baar Dekho and now with such hot kisses, the Censor Board makes us wonder what is the criteria?


This is what Pahlaj Nihalani said, "When we are strict with on-screen intimacy, people have a problem, when we let scenes of intimacy remain intact, people have a problem. The images in Befikre are not about the kisses alone. It’s about a whole lot of things, about love. The trailer shows kissing as a manifestation of love; it’s not there for titillation."

Nihalani also went on to clarify that the scenes were shot in a particular way by Chopra, "All the kisses are in long shots. It’s only in close-ups that kissing on screen tends to look overblown. There is a difference between showing intimacy discreetly and getting so worked up about it that the camera becomes voyeuristic. As to why the CBFC has chosen to be liberal with the trailer, it’s because Aditya Chopra’s aesthetic sense makes the kissing look natural, and not vulgar at all."
