The kissing and rape scenes shown in the film were reduced by about 50 percent. A lip-lock scene was shortened by seven seconds, while a rape scene was cut by 20 seconds. Apart from this, the scenes involving slapping a woman and hitting her on the head in another scene were also reduced by two seconds each.

The CBFC also asked for changes in a scene in which an accused’s house was shown being demolished with a bulldozer. Along with this, three dialogues of the film were changed and one word was muted.

Disclaimer and document submission conditions

The board also directed the filmmakers to make it clear at the beginning of the film that the story is based on true events. This disclaimer will be shown on the screen for two minutes and three seconds longer than the previously scheduled time and will also be accompanied by a voice over.

The producers were also asked to submit copies of the complete script and dialogues, along with necessary documents to prove that the story was inspired by real events. Apart from this, a consent letter regarding the casting of a minor artist in the film was also submitted to the board.

Certificate received on 16th February

After following all the instructions, the film was issued certificate on 16 February. The total duration of the film is 131 minutes 24 seconds i.e. 2 hours 11 minutes 24 seconds.
