BREAKING: Jayeshbhai Jordaar passed with a U/A certificate and ZERO cuts; is one of the SHORTEST Bollywood films in recent times

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is known for being quite unfair and for asking for unnecessary cuts. However, there are also times when the CBFC has been lenient, especially when understanding the context or theme of the film. Jayeshbhai Jordaar, which will be released on May 13, is one such film that has escaped the censor scissors.

BREAKING: Jayeshbhai Jordaar passed with a U/A certificate and ZERO cuts; is one of the SHORTEST Bollywood films in recent times

Bollywood Hungama has learnt that Jayeshbhai Jordaar has been passed by the CBFC with zero cuts. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The film is based on the burning topic of female infanticide. Also, the lead actor Ranveer Singh is seen threatening to castrate himself in a scene. However, director Divyang Thakkar has treated the whole film in a non-objectionable manner. Even the disturbing topic of female infanticide has been shown in a light-hearted manner. As a result, there was no reason for the CBFC to ask for the removal of any visual or dialogue. They gave a clean U/A to the film without asking for any sort of cut.”

Interestingly, Jayeshbhai Jordaar secured a censor certificate, way back on February 17. The length of the film, as mentioned on the certificate, is 124 minutes. In other words, the film is just 2 hours and 4 minutes long.

This has made the exhibitors happy. A source from the exhibition sector said, “Jayeshbhai Jordaar is one of the shortest Bollywood films in a long time. Post the third wave, except for John Abraham’s Attack, all the major films which were released like Badhaai Do, Gangubai Kathiawadi, Jhund, The Batman, The Kashmir Files, Radhe Shyam, Bachchhan Paandey, RRR, KGF – Chapter 2, Heropanti 2 and Runway 34 were more than 2 hours and 20 minutes long. A few films like RRR, The Batman, Jhund, etc had a runtime of nearly 3 hours. It becomes a challenge to accommodate shows when films are lengthy.”

The source continued, “Hence, it’s heartening to see Jayeshbhai Jordaar being just 2 hours long. Even Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, which will be released this week, is 2 hours and 6 minutes in duration. It’ll be easy to plan the showcasing for both these films. Single screens next week can also give sufficient shows to both the films thanks to their short length.”

Besides Ranveer Singh, Jayeshbhai Jordaar stars Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah, and marks the debut of Arjun Reddy (2017) actress, Shalini Pandey. It is produced by Yash Raj Films.

Dhanush summoned by Madras High Court in paternity case

According to the latest reports, actor Dhanush who has been making a mark not just in Indian cinema but also internationally was summoned by the Madras High Court over a complicated case. Reports alleged that a couple named Kathiresan and his wife Meenakshi have claimed that the South superstar is their son. From what the media reported, the court case has been on for a while and the judgment is yet to be passed.

Dhanush summoned by Madras High Court in paternity case

Reports suggest that in 2020 the Madurai court had already dismissed the case when Kathiresan claimed that Dhanush had forged the paternity documents. The court had then reportedly passed this order after claiming that there was nothing to support his statement. And now, Kathiresan is once again expected to have moved the Madras High Court requesting them to quash this order and is even reported to have sought a police inquiry in the matter. Owing to the new developments, reports have it that the actor was summoned to the Madras High Court.

Further reports also state that Madras High Court issued a notice against Dhanush in relation with the case after Kathiresan’s plea was earlier rejected by the Madurai High Court bench.

The couple, Kathiresan and Meenakshi had alleged that Dhanush is their third son who left his hometown to pursue his passion for films in Chennai. The court case started when the couple reportedly sought a sum of Rs. 65,000 as compensation from Dhanush under the claim that they are his parents. However, reports claim that the actor has denied all the allegations.

On the personal front, Dhanush is the former son-in-law of South superstar Rajinikanth, as the actor was married to the latter’s elder daughter Aishwarya. Dhanush also has two sons, namely, Yatra and Linga. The couple, however, got separated in January 2022 after being married for about 17 years.
