Actor-director Deepak Tijori has expressed his concerns about the way censorship is handled in the theatrical release of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge.
He is questioning what he sees as inconsistencies in how abusive language is treated across different platforms.
In a recent statement, Tijori criticized the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for “half-muting” cuss words in the film’s theatrical version.
He said he couldn’t understand the reason behind muting only some of the expletives instead of either muting them all or leaving them as they are. “I don’t really get why only some of the abuses are muted and others are left,” he said, calling the approach arbitrary.
The filmmaker also pointed out that the film already has an adults-only certification.
He questioned the point of partial censorship. “Who are we really trying to protect here, and from what, just half a word?” he asked, highlighting his belief that the guidelines are unclear.
Tijori also pointed out what he called a “double standard” in how censorship is applied between theatrical and digital platforms.
He observed that while the cinema version has muted language, the same movie is released on OTT platforms without any such changes. “The same film releases on OTT in its full, uncut form,” he said, suggesting that this breaks the logic behind theatrical cuts.
According to him, this difference might allow younger audiences to see unfiltered content at home, even though cinemas have stricter controls.
He argued that the current system raises bigger questions about how effective and consistent content regulation is across different platforms.
