The romantic drama, written and directed by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah, has undergone some changes ahead of its release in theatres on February 9.

A scene featuring Shahid and Kriti showing an act of sex has been cut by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), according to Bollywood Hungama.

The censor board asked the film’s makers to reduce the scene of sex act by 25%, the report said. The intimate scene between the hero and heroine was cut down from 36 seconds to 27 seconds.

Among other changes, the makers were told to add anti-smoking static message in Hindi in bigger and more readable fonts.

After the changes were carried out, CBFC passed the film with U/A certificate. The run time of the movie is 2 hours and 23 minutes.

What is the film about?

The film explores a love story in the uncharted territory of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Shahid plays a robot scientist who develops feelings for Kriti’s character Sifra, an intelligent female robot, and marries him.

“When I heard the story of this movie, I enjoyed it a lot. The first thing when you listen to the script is if you are enjoying it and are having a good time… This film has a lot entertainment. I found this story very unique,” Kriti told ANI recently.

Through a notification issued on Wednesday it amended the rules, introducing a procedure for the renewal of MSOs’ registrations.

An enabling provision has been included in the rules for the sharing of infrastructure by the cable operators with broadband service providers to promote internet penetration to the last mile.

MSOs shall apply for the registration or renewal of registration online at the Broadcast Seva Portal of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, official sources said.

The MSO registrations shall be granted or renewed for a period of 10 years.

The application for renewal of registration shall be within a window of seven to two months before the expiry of the registration.

A processing fee of Rs 1 lakh has been prescribed for the renewal of registration, streamlining financial transactions and ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements.

MSOs are required to apply for the renewal of their registration within a defined window, which spans from seven to two months before the current registration expires.

This provision is aimed at preventing service interruptions and maintaining continuity.
