NEW DELHI: The Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill was passed in Rajya Sabha on Friday, July 27th. The new law will decide how movies should be certified by censor boards.

The bill empowers the central government to crack down on or ban any film under extreme circumstances. According to Minister Anurag Singh Thakur, the heart of the reform is to stop the piracy of movies from spreading in the country mainly through social media platforms.
