EXCLUSIVE: CBFC replaces ‘Modi ji’ with ‘The Government’ in Mere Husband Ki Biwi; reduces ‘sensual audio of woman’ by 50% : Bollywood News-OxBig News Network

The big release of the week is Mere Husband Ki Biwi, starring Arjun Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar. The film has caught attention due to its quirky title, the chemistry between the leads and the concept. In this Bollywood Hungama special feature, we’ll focus on the cuts given to the film by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

EXCLUSIVE: CBFC replaces ‘Modi ji’ with ‘The Government’ in Mere Husband Ki Biwi; reduces ‘sensual audio of woman’ by 50%

The Examining Committee (EC) of the CBFC asked for four modifications – one visual and three dialogue-related. The visuals of the ‘woman hand gesture’ were asked to be replaced. The EC replaced the word ‘Haryanvi’ with ‘Ek Gang’.

Further, they asked to replace ‘Modi ji’ with ‘The Government’. Finally, they asked the makers to reduce ‘sensual audio of woman’ by 50%. As per the sources, it was probably implemented in the scene, which is also shown in the trailer, where Rakul Preet Singh’s character moans loudly while Arjun Kapoor’s character kisses her neck, in order to make Bhumi Pednekar’s character jealous.

Once these changes were made, Mere Husband Ki Biwi was passed with a UA 13+ rating. This new rating, where the age is mentioned, was introduced reportedly in November 2024. As per reports, U/A 16+ and U/A 7+ ratings have also been implemented. In recent times, Sky Force also received a U/A 13+ rating while films like Chhaava, Deva, Loveyapa, Badass Ravi Kumar etc. were passed with a U/A 16+ rating.

The censor certificate was handed over to the makers of Mere Husband Ki Biwi on February 17. The length of the film, as mentioned on the certificate, is 143.44 minutes. In other words, Mere Husband Ki Biwi’s runtime is 2 hours 23 minutes and 44 seconds.

Mere Husband Ki Biwi is produced by Jackky Bhagnani, who is married to the film’s actress, Rakul Preet Singh. Interestingly, the film releases on February 21, which also marks their first wedding anniversary.
