Film Certification Board Grants Conditional Approval for 'Jana Nayagan'
電影分級委員會有條件批准《Jana Nayagan》上映
Introduction
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given an 'A' certificate to the movie 'Jana Nayagan' after a long review process and several required changes to the content.
中央電影分級委員會（CBFC）在經過漫長的審查過程並要求對內容進行多次修改後，已向電影《Jana Nayagan》頒發「A」級證書。
Main Body
The certification process faced significant delays, taking about seven months from the original submission in December. Because of this, the producers had to take legal action through the Madras High Court and the Supreme Court to speed up the decision. Furthermore, the situation became more complicated in April when a high-quality version of the film was leaked online, gaining 1.2 crore views and leading to several arrests by the Tamil Nadu Police.
分級過程面臨嚴重延遲，從 12 月首次提交起算，約耗時七個月。因此，製片人不得不透過馬德拉斯高等法院和最高法院採取法律行動以加速決定。此外，情況在 4 月份變得更加複雜，當時一部高品質版本的電影在網上流出，獲得 1,200 萬次觀看，導致泰米爾納德邦警方逮捕了數人。
To receive certification, the filmmakers had to make twelve specific changes. The CBFC emphasized the need to protect national and political symbols; for example, they required the removal of scenes showing the Indian national flag falling and asked for changes to references regarding 'New India' and the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Additionally, the board ordered the modification of images of B. R. Ambedkar and the muting of certain religious terms.
為了獲得分級證書，電影製作者必須進行十二項特定修改。CBFC 強調需要保護國家和政治象徵；例如，他們要求刪除印度國旗掉落的畫面，並要求修改關於「新印度」和泰米爾納德勝利聯盟（TVK）的相關描述。此外，委員會還要求修改 B. R. Ambedkar 的影像並將某些宗教術語靜音。
Other requirements focused on removing offensive or sensitive material. This included replacing a scene of a child being burned and deleting a sequence that showed a district collector's badge being handled disrespectfully. The board also requested the muting of dialogue about Saddam Hussein and some swear words. Consequently, after these deletions and replacements, the final movie has a runtime of 183 minutes and 11 seconds.
其他要求集中在刪除冒犯性或敏感內容。這包括替換一名兒童被焚燒的畫面，以及刪除一段顯示地區行政官徽章被不敬處理的序列。委員會還要求將關於薩達姆·侯賽因的對白和一些髒話靜音。因此，在經過這些刪除和替換後，最終電影的片長為 183 分鐘 11 秒。
Conclusion
Now that these regulatory requirements have been met, the film is expected to be released in theaters on July 24 in about 1,000 locations across Tamil Nadu.
既然現在已滿足這些監管要求，該電影預計將於 7 月 24 日在泰米爾納德邦約 1,000 家電影院上映。
