The big release of the week is Mere Husband Ki Biwi, starring Arjun Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar. The film has caught attention due to its quirky title, the chemistry between the leads and the concept. In this Bollywood Hungama special feature, we’ll focus on the cuts given to the film by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

The Examining Committee (EC) of the CBFC asked for four modifications - one visual and three dialogue-related. The visuals of the 'woman hand gesture' were asked to be replaced. The EC replaced the word 'Haryanvi' with 'Ek Gang'.

Further, they asked to replace 'Modi ji' with 'The Government'. Finally, they asked the makers to reduce 'sensual audio of woman' by 50%. As per the sources, it was probably implemented in the scene, which is also shown in the trailer, where Rakul Preet Singh's character moans loudly while Arjun Kapoor's character kisses her neck, in order to make Bhumi Pednekar's character jealous.

Once these changes were made, Mere Husband Ki Biwi was passed with a UA 13+ rating. This new rating, where the age is mentioned, was introduced reportedly in November 2024. As per reports, U/A 16+ and U/A 7+ ratings have also been implemented. In recent times, Sky Force also received a U/A 13+ rating while films like Chhaava, Deva, Loveyapa, Badass Ravi Kumar etc. were passed with a U/A 16+ rating.

The censor certificate was handed over to the makers of Mere Husband Ki Biwi on February 17. The length of the film, as mentioned on the certificate, is 143.44 minutes. In other words, Mere Husband Ki Biwi’s runtime is 2 hours 23 minutes and 44 seconds.

Mere Husband Ki Biwi is produced by Jackky Bhagnani, who is married to the film’s actress, Rakul Preet Singh. Interestingly, the film releases on February 21, which also marks their first wedding anniversary.

By Banglore Film City
Akshaye Khanna’s 2021 action-packed OTT film State of Siege: Temple Attack is all set to make its theatrical debut under a brand-new title — Akshardham: Operation Vajra Shakti. Nearly five years after its digital premiere, the high-octane drama will hit cinema halls on July 4, 2025, offering audiences a gripping, large-screen retelling of one of India’s most harrowing terror incidents. Directed by Ken Ghosh, the film is a dramatic recreation of the 2002 terrorist attack on the Akshardham Temple in Gujarat. It captures the horror of the assault and the bravery of the National Security Guard (NSG) commandos who led the operation to neutralise the attackers. The story, inspired by real events, blends tension, patriotism, and action in equal measure. To mark the announcement, the makers released a new poster on Instagram, which features haunting temple pillars casting the silhouette of a lone armed commando — a striking visual that evokes both reverence and courage. The caption reads, “A...
