    Censor Board clears Talaash with a U/A certificate

    MUMBAI: The Censor Board has cleared Aamir Khan‘s upcoming release Talaash with a U/A certificate.

    Film trade circles were apprehensive of the kind of certificate the Censors would dish out given the fact that the film is a suspense drama with serial killings at its core. Some even feared that the film may be deemed unfit for kids and teenagers and hence would be given an ‘A‘ certificate.

    "However, Censor Board feels that there isn‘t anything overtly violent or disturbing about the film and hence have given it a U/A. "The film had also been passed without any cuts. That‘s a good win too", said a source.

    This has been heartening for the film‘s producers Farhan Akhtar, Aamir Khan and Ritesh Sidhwani who wouldn‘t have to worry about curtailed footfalls for the film. Moreover, director Reema Kagti too is happy with the liberal stance of the Censor Board.

    The film‘s running length is 2 hours and 14 minutes.
