CBFC has strictly announced that Tatkal scheme won't be in operation from 1st June. Many producers have been skeptical about this development as delays in certification process have been growing prominent. A film like Jana Nayagan, still did not get any certification and producer of the film is unsure if it would ever. 

The logisitical issues with planning way ahead and applying two to three months ahead for certification can bring discipline to directors who tend to never finish shooting their films and rush before release week. But the discussion about CBFC functions and functioning has been confusing to makers and audiences as well. 

Being a certification board, many filmmakers and even audiences have asking to reframe the age-old censorship rules and rather look at just certifying. Still, the words being muted, images being blurred out and scenes being trimmed out without looking at the context seems to raise objections. 

Udta Punjab makers to go for legal battle to preserve the originality of the content. Some filmmakrs and films tend to shine better with raw imagery and it is important to judge from that perception rather than standardising censorship. It has been pointed out by several filmmakers that a sex scene being presented in a tasteful manner or raw manner in a story cannot be seen as a cheap tactic to entice audiences like a B-Grade or cheap comedy film might do. 

They have been asking for reframing the rules and limit CBFC to just a certification body like in western world. But I&B Ministry has not been heeding to these discussions and the frustration has become visible among audiences too. Recently, the cut portions in films like Obsession and Superman did not please audiences and they started asking why can't mature audiences be differentiated from young below 16 or 14 age groups. 

The discussion about how raw action films tend to get a pass with A at times but a small intimate scene gets an axe, even if it is important to script and treated as an expression of love or fear or plot point. Overall, the discussion is still open about how reforms should be brought in but for now, CBFC seems to be more engaged in systemic adjustments than "content-based" corrections.
