A romantic kiss in the air between Superman and Lois Lane in the movie Superman It was cut in India because the country’s film board considered it “Too sensual”.
According to the Bollywood Hungama News Platform, in addition to some bad words, the 33 -second kiss was a problem for the Board Cinematographic Certification Central (CFBC) and was eliminated as part of a censorship process that was completed on July 7.
A source cited by The Wrap portal explained the details involved in the censorship process, which studies often anticipate.
“There are times when the study anticipates that the CBFC could request a cut. This lengthens the censorship process, since the cut must be carried out and obtain the approval of the CBFC examiner. Only then they get the certificate,” the source told Bollywood Hungama.
“To save time and effort, they self -control. This It happened recently with ‘F1: The film‘, When you see the character of Brad Pitt sending an emoji from the middle finger to another character. What was shown on the Indian screen was a clash of fists instead of the middle finger. As expected, the CBFC received harsh criticism for it, although it was the study that made the change, possibly because they knew that they would have to modify the ‘vulgar’ image. The same study, Warner Bros., also self -censured ‘Mickey 17’”
The decision to cut the kiss did not fall very well among fansand many turned to social networks to criticize the board and point out their inconsistencies.
Reactions against Censorship to Superman in India
In modern India you can show frightful scenes in a movie, but in the new Superman movie a beautiful kiss scene is censored. What do we want us to be exactly? An X user wrote.
Seriously, what happens to the Censorship Board of India? They eliminated basic kisses from the new Superman movie, but somehow, all the numbers of shameful articles and the cheesy things of Bollywood are free, “another user wrote on social networks.
“CBFC would allow horrible scenes of violence and sexual aggression in a film with certification or that children can see freely, but would not allow kisses agreed on a comicS movie that children should see under the supervision of an adult,” another user wrote in X.
