Ahead of the release of “Bad Newz,” starring Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri, reports indicate that the CBFC has cut 27 seconds from a kissing scene in the film.
“Bad Newz,” starring Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk, is set to hit 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, just 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 Scenes from “Bad Newz”
According to a report from Bollywood Hungama, the film “Bad Newz” underwent scrutiny by the CBFC’s Examining Committee, resulting in the censorship of three kissing scenes between Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri. 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, instead of cutting frames, the CBFC required the ‘visual of lip-lock’ to be modified, as stated in the list. Additionally, the CBFC requested minor changes 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.
About “Bad Newz”
The trailer of “Bad Newz” teases an uproarious comedy, centering on Triptii Dimri’s character, who finds herself pregnant but uncertain about the father’s identity. Initially, she meets Vicky Kaushal’s character, and they fall in love. She then confesses her pregnancy to him, unsure if he is the father.
As the story progresses, Ammy Virk’s character enters her life, and she falls for him as well, raising the possibility that he could be the father. The situation escalates when doctors suggest that both Vicky and Ammy might be potential fathers due to a rare condition.
The trio embarks on a quest to determine paternity, competing with each other to establish their claim. The trailer also features special appearances by Katrina Kaif and Tiger Shroff. “Bad Newz” promises a delightful mix of romance, humor, and drama, ensuring an entertaining spectacle.
