‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ gets a U/A certificate, but there’s a condition

Karan Johar’s ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ has been granted a U/A certificate. However, there’s a twist, the makers have been asked to get an NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the marriage portal Shaadi.com.

A source said, “Just recently there was a legal issue over the film ‘Runningshaadi.com’ making use of the name associated with a marriage portal. The makers had to drop the ‘.com’ from their title and from every mention in the film. The censor board can’t allow a repeat performance of the same tamasha.”

In ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’, the name of the marriage portal Shaadi.com crops up prominently. The source said, “The CBFC has asked producer Karan Johar to produce an NOC from the marriage portal Shaadi.com. Only then would they be allowed to retain the portal’s name in the film.” (Also Read: Varun Dhawan confirms working with Shoojit Sircar for his next)
