Almost over a month ago, director Ashvin Kumar had to screen his film No Fathers in Kashmir for the second time to find justice for his film’s certification for FCAT, the apex body of certification of films in India.
What started as a regular filing for a censor in July 2018 has been a long process of eight months, six screenings and seven hearings for the makers. After challenging the CBFC decision to give the film A, which the makers found unjustified, they moved to FCAT first in November with a hearing in December and later in January. FCAT has now vindicated the filmmakers’ stand that this is a U/A film by giving it a U/A certification order. The film stars Soni Razdan, Anshuman Jha and Kulbushan Kharbanda and traces the love story of two 16-year-olds who are in search of their fathers who went missing in Kashmir.
