Not
long
ago,
the
Central
Board
of
Film
Certification
(CBFC)
was
severely
condemned
by
many
movie
goers
and
fans
when
instructions
were
passed
on
to
omit
most
of
the
lip-lock
scenes
from
Spectre,
the
latest
of
Bond
movies,
before
releasing
it
in
India.
When
everyone
thought
that
CBFC
is
at
its
unbending
best,
Dhanush's
Thanga
Magan
gets
away
with
a
clean
'U'
certificate
sans
any
major
cuts.
This
news
has
come
across
as
a
baffler
to
many
as
it
is
speculated
that
the
'family
entertainer'
has
a
couple
of
steamy
lip-locks
between
Dhanush
and
Amy
Jackson.
Interestingly,
a
one
minute
36
seconds
song
video
from
the
movie,
which
was
released
after
acquiring
the
'U'
certificate,
has
a
lip-lock
scene,
which
is
convincing
enough
for
the
CBFC
members
to
award
Thanga
Magan
a
U/A
certificate.
In
recent
times,
films
featuring
prominent
stars
are
being
awarded
with
'U'
certificates,
irrespective
of
its
content.
One
such
recently
released
flick
that
surprised
everyone
was
Thala
Ajith's
Vedalam.
The
action
entertainer
bagged
a
clean
'U'
from
CBFC,
despite
portraying
enough
violence,
for
it
to
gain
a
U/A.
