The Kerala High Court on Friday granted partial relief to the makers of the Malayalam film Haal, setting aside a Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) directive that mandated six cuts and restricted the film to an Adults-only (A) certificate. The makers had challenged the order by CBFC and fought it in court. Justice VG Arun viewed the film and granted partial relief to the makers, ordering two modifications instead of six.

The Court directed the filmmakers to carry out two modifications before the film could be reconsidered for certification. The film, which revolves around an interfaith love story between a Muslim boy and a Christian girl, had been flagged by the CBFC for allegedly sensitive portrayals.
