Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is an official body in India responsible for reviewing and certifying films before their release. Its role is to ensure that movies adhere to laws and cultural standards, preventing content deemed inappropriate, offensive, or sensitive from reaching audiences. The CBFC assigns age-appropriate ratings and may suggest edits or cuts to films. Its aim is to balance artistic freedom with societal values, maintaining content suitability for viewers while safeguarding public interest.
