Indian Film Board criticizes because he cut “excessively sensual” Superman kisses | India

When the Indian cinemas saw the latest Superman film, many noticed that something was wrong. When the superhero gave a kiss twice with Lois Lane, the film suddenly jumped and cut after the consequences of a hug.

India's Censor Board had classified the kiss scenes, including a 33-second Smooch, as “excessively sensual” for the Indian audience and demanded that they be cut off the film before his cinematic publication.

The cuts have caused some spectators to an outcry that accused the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to make arbitrary, moral demands and to have double standards by being able to present serious violence and misogynis in Indian films, but cuts a kiss scene from a Hollywood film.

“CBFC would allow terrible scenes of violence and sexual attacks in a U-certified film that children can see freely, but would allow mutual kissing in a U/A-comic film that children should see under adult supervision,” said a viewer on social media.

Another said: “So Superman Lois Lane must not kiss on Indian screens. But all the shabby leading men of Indian films are allowed to draw, drop, trudge, stalk, beat and do what they want. Are you serious Indian censor board?”

Another fan criticized the interruption caused by the rough cuts. “The Indian censorship board has embarrassed itself with the abrupt cuts into the film. Apart from the” morality “of censorship, the way they managed to promote the river is cruel,” they said.

The Indian cinema has long had an unpleasant relationship with kissing on the screen. With the exception of a four -minute kitchen scene in the film Karma from 1933, stroking the screen until the 1990s in order to largely make hugs or symbolized by images such as flowers.

While the attitudes have relaxed in recent years, the country remains largely conservative and far religiously, especially outside of urban areas, and more intimate kiss scenes are still subject to the knife of the censor.

The Censor Board was also presented to be excessively political. The Donald Trump -Biopic The Apprentice was blocked by the cinematic publication last year after his director Ali Abbasi refused to call for cuts in the CBFC. “I ran away from the Iranian censorship just to meet the company's censorship. Now India. Really?” Said Abbasi. “Censorship seems to be an epidemic at the moment.”

Similarly, censors banned the publication of Santosh at the beginning of this year, an internationally recognized film that dealt with police violence and misogyny in India after requesting a list of cuts. Sandhya Suri, the director of the film, called the Cut inquiries “disappointing and heartbreaking”.
