Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri’s 27 seconds of kiss in Bad Newz gets censored by CBFC: Report
Ahead of the release of Bad Newz, starring Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri, reports indicate that the CBFC has cut 27 seconds of a kissing scene from the film.
Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk's film, Bad Newz, is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 19, 2024. The makers have been generating significant buzz among fans with song releases and promotional events. According to a recent report, a few days before its release, the movie received a UA certificate.
However, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has now requested the makers to edit out a 27-second kissing scene from three different parts of the film.
CBFC censors 27 seconds of kissing scene from 3 parts of Bad Newz
According to a report from Bollywood Hungama, the film underwent scrutiny by the CBFC's Examining Committee, resulting in censorship of three scenes involving kissing between Vicky and Triptii. These scenes collectively amounted to 27 seconds, detailed in the cut list: one scene lasted 9 seconds, another 10 seconds, and the third 8 seconds.
Interestingly, rather than cutting frames, the CBFC required the 'visual of lip-lock' to be modified, as stated in the list. Additionally, minor changes were requested by the CBFC, such as replacing a disclaimer at the beginning, inserting anti-alcohol statics, and increasing the font size of the anti-alcohol message.
After implementing these modifications, Bad Newz received a U/A certificate from the CBFC. The film's duration, as specified on the censor certificate, is 142 minutes, which translates to 2 hours and 22 minutes.
