Going by whatAnuragBasuintends his new film to benamely, a big wide-screen fantasy aimed specially at children, or so he told mehe isnt likely to be happy with the censor boards verdict. On Friday, in what must rank as one of the swiftest censorial certifying moves, JaggaJasoos was granted UA with no cuts. The film was submitted for certificationon Thursday. It was clearedon Fridayafternoon, says asourcein the know. However, this show of dexterity in a governmental organization hasnt gone down well with the JaggaJasoos team. A source close to directorAnuragBasubemoans, The film is designed as a childrens fantasy. We wonder what the Censor Board saw in JaggaJasoos that made it suitable for children only accompanied by an adult. However, Censor ChiefPahlajNihlanidefends the films U/A certification arguing, Let the film release. The world will see why we think it necessary for children to be accompanied by an adult. JaggaJasoos tells surreal story of a child-mans journey to find his father. I honestly wonder what the Censor Board could have seen to be suitable only for children accompanied by grownups.
