The makers made all the 'modifications' to the film suggested by the Censor Board, and despite that, OMG 2 was awarded an 'A' certificate instead of a 'U/A' certificate. Now, only people above the age of 18 are able to watch the film.
Makers of OMG 2 were hopeful that they will be able to release the uncensored version of the film on the OTT. But the dreams came crashing down. Confirming the news Akshay said, "I will be showing the censored version. Unfortunately the children couldn't watch the film due to the A certification..
The makers didn't want to compromise with the sanctity of the film. So they chose to go with an Adults certification but keeping the integrity of the film intact and also adhering to and respecting the norms of the censor board," the insider said.
The movie is great to watch when it comes to importance of sex education. But at the same time the plot jumbles between physiology of organs and sex education. Despite that it's a good watch as it highlights the importance of sex education.
Pankaj Tripathi disappointed as OMG 2 gets an 'A' certificate, says the film's message was meant for kids from 12 to 18. The Central Board of Film Certification has given OMG 2', which will be released tomorrow, an A rating.
Earlier in July, the CBFC took precautions to handle any potential controversies surrounding dialogues or scenes in OMG 2. Eventually, the film received an A certificate after speculation about a U/A certificate. This A certificate restricts viewership to individuals aged 18 and above due to its theme of sex education.
'OMG 2' follows the journey of Akshay Kumar's character, who portrays a messenger of Lord Shiva, as he embarks on a mission to address contemporary societal issues. The film delves into the realm of sexual education in Indian schools, using humour and satire to highlight the importance of addressing this topic openly.
However, the actor admits that because OMG 2 received an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Certification (CBFC), most families couldn't watch it even though the Amit Rai directorial, also starring Yami Gautam, was meant for young adults.
" Despite making 'modifications' to the film, the Censor Board still awarded the film an A certificate instead of a u/A certificate that allows teens under 18 to watch the film under parental guidance. "
Towards, the end of the conversation, Akshay Kumar revealed that OMG 2's story actually happened in real life where a student was “caught” and expelled from his school. He said, “The incident shown in OMG 2 actually happened. The child was caught in school and was removed.”
Fans were hoping to see the uncut version but Akshay opted to release the theatrical version out of respect for the Censor Board. Speaking with India Today, Akshay Kumar said, “The film is out on Netflix and people were saying that we should release the uncut version, but I said no.
I recommend this film to everyone who loves slightly disturbing films and TV shows like me but for anyone under the age of 13 you really should not watch it. It's very gory and contains adult language.
Another milliennial expression, OMG burst on the digital scene with the advent of texting. This slang expression is a catch-all exclamation to use in response to anything that is thrilling or aggravating or unbelievable or disgusting. This initialism also covers the meaning Oh My Gosh.
Who knew? Here's one you can tell people by the coffee machine this morning--or by text. The abbreviation OMG (or Oh My God) is actually 100 years old. The earliest use of the abbreviation was recorded in a letter dating all the way back to 1917 by a British Admiral named John Arbuthnot Fisher.
OMG 2 stars Akshay Kumar in the role of Lord Shiva and this is reportedly one of the sticking points. Among the 35 cuts that Censor Board has demanded is that Akshay's character be changed to a messenger of Lord Shiva rather than the deity himself, according to sources.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “In all, the RC has asked for 20 cuts. These include both visual and audio deletions. On top of it, they have also suggested the makers opt for an adults-only certification.”
However, when we were making OMG 2, we didn't think that it will get such a rating.” He further said, “Iss film ko 'A' milna, surprise tha humare liye. Thoda malaal hua ki jis age-group ko yeh film dekhni chaiye, 12-17 saal ke, woh nahi dekh payenge (For me it was a surprise.
