'Coolie': Why Rajinikanth's film was given 'A' by CBFC? The answer to the mysterious question is here
Superstar Rajinikanth 's Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj , was released in theaters across the world on August 14 with a grand release. As fans turn theaters into festivals, many people on the internet have been asking why the film was given an 'A' certificate by the censor board. Discussions about this are rapidly progressing on social media. Censor Board's decision tied to story elements According to many, 'Coolie' does not have as many bloody and violent scenes as Lokesh Kanagaraj's previous films. However, the main reason is said to be the way the film's story moves, with frequent scenes of bodies being cremated. Fans are debating what prompted the censor board to issue an 'A' certificate. In fact, it is also being argued that the scenes were unavoidable because the film's story revolves around that aspect. Depiction of illegal activities raises concerns After this, another reason is mentioned, which is the depiction of illegal activities taking place at the government-controlled port, as per the Hindu Tamil. It is also believed that the fact that official institutions are shown to be in the hands of criminals and not functioning properly may have been a controversial aspect in the eyes of the censorship board.
