Dhurandhar
Ranveer Singh's upcoming movie Dhurandhar has finally cleared the certification process by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), and has received an âAdult Only - A' rating. The certificate was passed after the CBFC asked the makers to make a few changes. It was eventually granted a go-ahead for the release.
Dhurandhar has been awarded an âA' certificate. This means that the film is adult-rated for individuals aged 15 and above. This marks is Ranveer Singh's first A-rated film in 15 years.
The CBFC asked the makers to add the voiceover for the Hindi disclaimer. The duration of the disclaimer was increased to accommodate the voiceover accordingly. The anti-drug static and anti-smoking static were also added in scenes where the characters were seen consuming the addictive substances. Additionally, at the beginning of the film, some visuals of violence were deleted and replaced with appropriate shots.
Similarly, in the second half, the CBFC members asked the makers to reduce the violent visuals. Besides, the character name of a minister was 'suitably changed'. Finally, a cuss word was muted.
Another change that happened during the censor process was that the makers added music and additional scenes to the end credits.
Following the censor certificate, the confirmed run time of Dhurandhar is finalised at 214.01 minutes, which means the film will be 3 hours, 34 minutes and 1 second long. This makes it the lengthiest film in 17 years for Bollywood. The last film with a lengthy run time was Jodhaa Akbar (2008), which was also 214 minutes long.
After the Delhi High Court directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to consider the objections raised by the parents of Ashoka Chakra awardee Late Major Mohit Sharma, the Board undertook a fresh examination of the film Dhurandhar and found no link to Major Mohit Sharma.
This reconsideration was carried out pursuant to the Court's order dated December 1, 2025. According to the CBFC's latest communication, the Board has rejected the family's objections and concluded that the film bears no resemblance to the life, service, or experiences of Major Sharma.
