Are we looking at a new censor certification era, whereby movies of high artistic quality and/or socially relevant content can easily be identified by the letter of the alphabet marked for certification? A ‘Q’ for ‘Quality’ could be the future of such films.

Says CBFC chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani, “If the CBFC discourages films that are high on sleaze, it must also ensure that films of merit like Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan get immediately identified with the Censor gradation.”
Pahlaj strongly feels that films which promote high aesthetics and social values must be encouraged by the government. “And not just through censor certification, but also through an all-India tax exemption. A film like Sultan, which has a strong message on ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ and which promotes Indian sports and strong traditional values, should not be made to ask for tax exemption from state to state. It should be granted all-India tax benefits so more people would be able to watch it. Salman Khan’s films are prime examples of the kind of films we’d like to encourage,” says Nihalani.
