This is part of the introduction to the book
THERE WAS A huge rush at the theatre even for the late night
show, as people thronged to see the movie, Hot Nights, which was
really hot in content. It was an ‘A’ certificate film.
The government had categorized the films into three – ‘U’
(Universal), ‘UA’ (Universal Adult) and ‘A’ (Adults only) – for the
benefit of the public. While the film with the ‘U’ certificate was
meant for universal viewing, the one with the ‘UA’ could be viewed
by minor children in the company of the elders, thus leaving the
discretion to the elders. However, the films certified to be ‘A’ were
meant strictly for adults, i.e., those who had completed the age of
eighteen … The ones considered to be harmful to the psyche of the
children and the adolescents, especially from the sex and violence
point of view, were awarded a strict ‘A’ certificate. With the present
trend in which the films exhibited too much of violence and
excessive exposure of the female body, it was a difficult task to
draw a fine line was, of course, another matter.
