John Abraham's Satyamev Jayate Fails To Get U Certificate
John Abraham's Independence Day release, Satyamev Jayate, might not reach the under-18 audience if they plan to see it in theatres. The film is 'For Adults Only'.
It's an irony of
sorts, but Bollywood mein sab kuch hota hai. John Abraham's upcoming film
Satyamev Jayate, helmed by Milap Zaveri, has got an A certificate. The decision
has come as a slight surprise.
Milap who
directed the sex comedy Mastizaade and wrote Grand Masti, Masti and Kyaa Kool
Hain Hum 3 may have thought that he could bring the kids in with Satyamev
Jayate. However, talking to SpotboyE.com, he maintains, "No, I had a
feeling that Satyamev Jayate will get an A certificate only."

SpotboyE.com also
has it that Milap and the film's producer Nikkhil Advani approached the
Revising Committee so that the decision of the
Examining Committee could be reversed- but in vain.
A source says,
"Obviously they had to try. There have been many instances in the past
when after few changes, the film has managed to get a U from the former A that
it was granted."

So why has Milap
got an A? Is it also true that certain lyrics were chopped from a song because
the Censor Board found those inflammatory? "I have used background music
in that portion. A few lyrics of a certain song had to be deleted," Milap
confirms.

"Satyamev
Jayate is not for kids. It has violence, no doubt. It is not a popcorn film.
There is a very important Muharram sequence where there is blood. John kills corrupt
cops in the film. It is targetted at the mass audience. It makes a very strong
statement against corruption and violence on women," he adds.
