Accordingly Bollywood biopic PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday was granted an 'unrestricted' (U)
certificate for release by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the
film's director Omung Kumar B said. Omung told "We knew it will
happen. Finally, it's out”. Meanwhile Omung said "The team and he were convinced of what we have
made and it’s a piece of cinema and not propaganda and now the Censor Board has
validated what we have been saying all along.
Furthermore the film, which narrates the story of
Modi from his humble beginnings to becoming the Prime Minister of India, will
release on April 11, when the Lok Sabha elections begin. Apparently trade
analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted that the film, which features actor Vivek Anand
Oberoi, has a run time of 130 minutes, 53 seconds.
Moreover the CBFC certificate for PM
Narendra Modi came on the same day as the Supreme Court's dismissal
of a plea seeking a stay on the film's release. Perhaps the court said the Election
Commission is the appropriate authority to address the petitioner's concerns on
whether the film should be released in view of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections
as it may tilt the balance or benefit a particular political party.
