Desi Boyz gets 'A' certificate while The Dirty Picture passed without any cuts

Two big upcoming films, Desi Boyz and The Dirty Picture were examined by the Censor Board this week and the committee's decision has left many astounded. Apparently, the Akshay Kumar and John Abraham starrer Desi Boyz has been given an 'A' certificate while The Dirty Picture has been passed without any cuts.

The makers of Desi Boyz were expecting a U/A certificate since it's a big-budget film with Akshay, John, Chitrangda and Deepika. They feel that the film is made for a family audience and getting an 'A' certificate could cause them a lot of trouble. Akshay and John play male strippers in the film and that could have been a reason for board's decision.

In contrast, the makers of The Dirty Picture were very anxious about the Censor Board's decision as the Censors have been sent a notice by the AP High Court to decide whether the film should be released. To their surprise the film has been passed with an 'A' certificate without any cuts.

Rockstar beats Ra.One at Box Office in first week

Bollywood movie Rockstar has topped the Indian Box Office chart by beating Shahrukh Khan's movie Ra.One, which was in the No. 1 spot from two weeks. Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri starrer movie has earned Rs 50 net in domestic collection centres in first week of its release.

Rockstar had an exceptional weekend with its collection crossing Rs 33.6 cr net in three days. It became big hit in non-festival season after Salman Khan's Ready. But the collection of the movie dropped more than 40% on Monday. Its business at the Box Office saw a significant decline on the following weekdays.

Imtiaz Ali directed Rockstar has also received wonderful response overseas. The movie has collected more than Rs 11 crore at international Box Office in the first weekend. Ranbir Kapoor's sterling performance and AR Rahman's soulful music are the two major factors behind its good performance at the worldwide Box Office.
