Jab Harry Met Sejal gets U/A

After all the hue and cry over the trailer in which ‘Sejal’ Anushka Sharma was seen haggling over the terms and conditions of ‘intercourse’ with ‘Harry’ Shah Rukh Khan, the film Jab Harry Met Sejal finally went through the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on Thursday afternoon.

To everyone’s surprise, the film, directed by Imtiaz Ali, has come out unscathed. Says a source clued into the development, “The CBFC viewed Jab Harry Met Sejal and certified the movie U/A without a single verbal or visual cut.”

This puts an odd question mark on the entire debate that raged over the use of the word ‘intercourse’ in the trailer. We wonder if there are different yardsticks for judging the same dialogue in a trailer versus the feature film.
