OK Jaanu gets 4 verbal cuts, UA rating from Censors

Shaad Ali s take on live-in relationships OK Jaanu has just been granted an all-clear with a UA certificate.

Says a source in the know, Only four verbal cuts were ordered. And these were minor alterations in the dialogue. Surprisingly, the Censor Board had no objection to the theme of live-in relationship.

When the Tamil original Oh Kadhal Kanmani had gone for censor certification in March 2015, there was huge uproar over the film s blatant espousal of a live-in relationship. The makers had to go to the Revising Committee to get the film cleared.

Says censor Chief Pahlaj Nihalani, The times are changing. At one time, couples couldn t even meet before marriage. Now they get a chance to spend time with one another to know whether they are compatible or not. That s a social reality. To turn away from it is not going to stop the changes in society. We must recognize and respect the changes in social mores.
