Movie Certifications in India - What is U / UA / A / S / PG

Movie Censorship

Have you ever noticed U / UA / A etc whenever you go watch a movie... I believe you must have because this is mandatory for every movie (whether short, long) to get a certificate from Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) before its public exhibition.

CBFC works under Information and Broadcasting Ministry (GOI) as per the provisions of Cinematograph Act 1952 and Cinematograph certification rules 1983 and it certifies the contents for all movies, music videos, documentaries (moving images) before they are displayed to public. 

CBFC has categorized the movies mainly into four categories based on their contents - 

1. U - Universal: Unrestricted Public Exhibition. These films are suitable for all age groups including children. These films should not upset children over four.
2. UA - Under Parental Guidance: Films under this category are also unrestricted for public exhibition but parental discretion is required for children below 12 years because certain scenes may be unsuitable for them.
3. A - Adults Only: Restricted to Adults. Nobody under 18 is allowed to watch movies under A certification.
4. S - Special Class: These movies are restricted to any special class of persons like army, doctors etc
5. PG - Parental Guidance (Strongly Advised): Currently this certification is not a part of standard certification process by CBFC but Bitto Boss (2012) is the first movie in India to get PG recommendation from CBFC. PG certification is followed in Britain by British Board of Film Certification (BBFC).

So next time whenever you watch a movie, check for its certification (for your knowledge).

Emergency Number 911

If you are a Hollywood movie fan, you should have listened 'CALL 911' in case of any emergency.  Even if you are not, there is a good chance that you know 911 is an emergency number because it comes preprogrammed with most of the mobile phones. 

Listening 911 frequently struck in my mind that why this three digit number was used as an emergency number in U.S. and here we go..

The idea behind emergency number was to provide a single number, calling which any emergency like police, medical, fire etc could be reported. Britain  was the first country to use three digit number '999' in 1937. U.S also realized the need of an emergency number so in 1967 Federal Communications Commissions and Alabama Telephone Company came together to establish such an emergency number that was unique, short and easy and that's how 911 came into existence in 1968. For maintaining its uniqueness 911 has never been assigned for any area code, service code, phone code since then.

First 911 Call - The first 911 call was placed on February 16, 1968 in Alabama by Alabama speaker Rankin Fite and this call was answered by Tom Bevill who was congressmen at that time.

Emergency Number in India - In India there was no single emergency number until the introduction of 2611. For Police you need to dial 100, in case of fire - 101, For medical help - 102, and dial 108 for child, women and senior citizen protection, however 2611 integrates all these helpline numbers. If you find it difficult to remember 2611, remember the November 26th attacks in Mumbai because the number relates to that attack.

Hope no one need to dial an emergency number.
