CBFC cuts 10 seconds of intimate scenes in Saiyaara, angry netizens ask, ‘was Housefull 5 sanskari?'

Time of India5 days ago
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is facing fresh backlash after it trimmed 10 seconds of intimate content from the upcoming film Saiyaara. The move has ignited a wave of criticism online, with many questioning the board's selective censorship practices. Social media users are drawing ironic comparisons to films like Housefull 5, mocking the idea that such movies might better align with the CBFC's so-called 'sanskari' values.
CBFC cuts 10 seconds of intimate scenes in Saiyaara and the internet is disappointed
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Mohit Suri and team was instructed to remove certain 'objectionable' words and substitute them with more 'suitable' alternatives in four instances. Additionally, a 10-second sequence featuring 'sensual, intimate, and body exposure visuals' has reportedly been cut. The CBFC also directed the makers to add a static helmet safety warning in all scenes showing two-wheeler vehicles.
The internet asks, was Housefull 5 sanskari?
As soon as the news surfaced, it quickly made its way to Reddit, where users questioned the logic behind the CBFC's decision to cut a 10-second intimate scene while simultaneously approving a film like Housefull 5, widely criticized for its crass humor and barrage of double entendre jokes.
One wrote, 'And the obscene content that were forced upon us in the worst movie of the year, Housefull 5.'
Another added, 'But we were fed Animal & Housefull 5 without any complaints.'
Saiyaara release date
Scheduled for a theatrical release on July 18, Saiyaara offers an intense narrative rooted in themes of love, identity, and emotional complexity. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film features newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in the lead roles.
