EXCLUSIVE: CBFC deletes 8-second-long kissing scene in Spider-Man: Brand New Day; mutes 'obscene' words in 3 places

Just three days remain before the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and excitement is historic, as evident by ticket sales. A week before release, the studio completed the censor process. In this article, Bollywood Hungama will focus exclusively on the cuts made to the film.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed the film with a U/A 13+ certificate. However, the studio was asked to make a few changes.

To begin with, ‘obscene’ words were muted and removed in the audio and subtitles at three places - one in the first half and the remaining two in the post-interval portion. Secondly, visuals of a lip-lock lasting 8 seconds were asked to be deleted.

Once these changes were made, the studio was handed over the certificate of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 23. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 144.52 minutes. In other words, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is 2 hours, 24 minutes and 52 seconds long.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day brings back Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon and follows the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). As per a Bollywood Hungama report on July 26, the film sold 2.60 lakh tickets across the top 3 national chains, PVRInox and Cinepolis, and with 3 days still to go, is headed to clock advances in the range of 4 lakhs. Hence, the film now has a chance to open at Rs. 50 crores on a working Thursday, which is unheard of for a Hollywood film.

Bollywood Hungama also reported yesterday that cinemas have been asked to implement mega-blockbuster pricing bands. A source told us, “In a few cinemas, the rates are at par with Dhurandhar The Revenge, but in most theatres and multiplexes, the rates are lower than the Ranveer Singh-starrer. This is because Dhurandhar sequel’s buzz was historic and one-of-a-kind.”
