On June 14, Bollywood Hungama was among the first to inform readers that the much-awaited Cocktail 2 has been granted an 'A' certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). In this article, we’ll exclusively focus on the cuts given to the Shahid Kapoor-Kriti Sanon-Rashmika Mandanna starrer. The good news is that the CBFC has not made any visual cuts. Hence, all the romantic and intimate scenes are left untouched. However, a few audio modifications were asked to be made. A cuss word, which was mentioned in the subtitle, was asked to be removed. The word 'Agni' was replaced with 'Diya' wherever it occurred in the film. Lastly, a reference to 'Jew on the run' was censored.
