‘Sanskari’ Censor cuts 18-second snog to 9-second peck
Synopsis
Bollywood actors Randeep Hooda and Kajal Aggarwal's lip-lock had recently created a furore on the Internet. But now all the gossip can die down since it seems the over-vigilant censor board is adamant in its effort to turn Indian audiences 'sanskari', and how!
The daily news about the CBFC's latest cuts and demands in films is beginning to border entertainment items.
While Udta Punjab is presently facing much of the censor board's ire, Randeep's Do Lafzon Ki Kahani has not been spared either and has been subjected to brutal mutilation.
The much-hyped lip-lock between Kajal and Randeep in the movie has been edited to half of its original length by the Censor Board.
According to the report published in Hindustan Times, director Deepak Tijori confirmed the news and said, "It was a kiss of 18 seconds. It has now been reduced to 9 seconds. That’s the only visual cut we got.” He added that words like 'saale' and 'kutte' have also been deleted.
Do Lafzon Ki Kahani will release on Friday, June 10.
