Chennai 600028 was watched by the Indian censors last week. The film's makers sat and watched with censor representatives nervously praying for the best. At the end of the film, the censors had reflected very minor changes and gave the film a 'U' (Universal) grade equivalent to a 'G' (General) grade. The censors praised the makers of their enormous efforts put in to make the film. They encouraged the film to be submitted to both local and international awards.
