Cinematography Bill to be tabled in Parliament in 2010: Censor Chief
MUMBAI: Censor Board chairperson Sharmila Tagore has said that a draft cinematography bill has been given to the Ministry for Information and Broadcasting for approval.
The bill has the provision that there should be explanation if the film contains explicit language, violence or sex, besides mentioning the certification on the posters.
However, Tagore said that the bill was not likely to be placed in Parliament before next year.
Speaking on the sidelines of the International Film Festival in Goa, Tagore clarified,”Yes, our draft is with the Ministry, we have given the amended draft and it has been with the Ministry for some time.
“They said that it will go to the Parliament in the Winter Session, but hopefully in the next session the draft will be placed in the Parliament.”
A six-member committee was formed seven years ago to suggest changes to the Cinematography Act, 1952.
Meanwhile, I&B officials are reportedly meeting in New Delhi on 5 December to discuss matters of piracy, certification and other issues.

Dhurandhar the revenge storms past Rs 1,000 crore in a week, rewrites box office records
Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller sets fastest run to Rs 1,000 crore with record-breaking weekday hold
MUMBAI: The box office has a new juggernaut—and it is moving at breakneck speed. Dhurandhar the revenge has smashed past the Rs 1,000 crore mark worldwide in just a week, clocking a staggering Rs 1,088 crore and resetting the rules of the blockbuster game.
Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, and directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action sequel opened to the biggest weekend ever for an Indian film globally—and then refused to slow down. Unlike typical tentpole releases that taper off after Sunday, this one powered through the weekdays with rare muscle, posting Rs 64 crore on Monday, Rs 58 crore on Tuesday, Rs 49 crore on Wednesday and Rs 53 crore on Thursday.
The numbers stack up to a formidable first-week haul. India collections stand at Rs 690 crore nett and Rs 814 crore gross, while overseas markets have chipped in Rs 274 crore, taking the worldwide total to Rs 1,088 crore in just eight days.
The film’s opening weekend alone delivered Rs 466 crore, laying the foundation for what is now being billed as the fastest climb to the Rs 1,000 crore club in Indian cinema. Every single day of its first week has set fresh benchmarks, from the highest opening weekend to the strongest weekday hold—metrics that typically separate hits from phenomena.
A sequel to the earlier hit Dhurandhar, the film has not just built on its predecessor’s momentum but obliterated previous records, emerging as the biggest global blockbuster run by an Indian film to date.
At this pace, the film is not merely riding a wave—it is creating one.
