Indian Censors are been on the receiving end since their decisions are creating a storm in the country among film lovers. Recently the Censor Board has awarded an U/A certificate for Jungle Book movie, inviting the wrath of film lovers yet again.
Upon watching the films final cut, a story which deals with the life of one who is missing in Jungle since childhood and rescued by animals, the Disney's first ever live action product got an U/A from the Board. Big directors like Mahesh Bhatt have criticised the decision of Board openly and asked how a Children's film could get an U/A.
But the meaning of U/A is that the film should be watched under Parental Guidance. No doubt, due to the realistic portrayal of all animals including dangerous tiger and snake, definitely kids should watch the film under parental supervision. Maybe Board is correct this time.
