Amit Rai’s ‘Ohh My Dog’ Gets UA Certificate; CBFC Suggests 7 Modifications (EXCLUSIVE)
Filmmaker Amit Rai’s upcoming film “Ohh My Dog” has been given a U/A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The board has recommended seven modifications before clearing the film for release.
Among the changes, references to brands such as “Truecaller” and “Dettol” have been muted, along with a curse word. The CBFC has also trimmed a scene featuring a dog by two seconds. In another sequence, a photo frame of Lord Hanuman has been blurred. The board has further instructed the makers to include two disclaimers — one on child labor, as the issue forms a part of the film’s narrative, and another on human trafficking.

Reacting to the certification process, Amit Rai expresses satisfaction with the board’s decision this time. “I am supremely happy. They have given me cuts that are feasible,” he says.
The certification journey is markedly different from Rai’s previous experience with “OMG 2.” The filmmaker had faced a lengthy process, with the film eventually receiving an A certificate along with around 85 modifications. A decision that kept its intended younger audience from watching it in theatres.
