CBFC Advises Filmmakers to Submit Completed Films; Titles and Release Dates Not Final
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) issued a new advisory on October 26, 2026, requiring filmmakers to submit only completed films for certification, including final graphics, music, and accessibility features. Incomplete submissions with placeholder elements may face delays or rejection. The advisory clarifies that announced film titles and release dates are not final and can be modified during the certification process. Filmmakers are urged to plan certification well in advance, as release dates will not influence certification timelines.
