The theatrical release of Bokshi has been postponed from October 9 to December 4 following its certification process with the Central Board of Film Certification.

The CBFC's Examining Committee referred the Prasanna Bisht starrer to the Revising Committee over its supernatural themes, depiction of witchcraft, gruesome violence and bloodshed.

The Revising Committee has now cleared the film with an 'A' certificate and minimal modifications. The makers decided to push the release to December to allow time for a full-scale theatrical campaign.

Lorien Motion Pictures announced the revised date on October 8. The production house said the folk-horror film will arrive in select cinemas across India on December 4.

Bokshi is directed by Bhargav Saikia and written by debutant screenwriter Harsh Vaibhav. The delay gives the team more time to build buzz for the genre film."" Folk horror is a growing genre in Indian cinema. The December release window gives Bokshi a clearer run at the box office. Fans of the genre are eagerly awaiting the film's trailer.
