JAKARTA - The Superman film in India did not fully air, because some of its kissing scenes were deleted by censors in Indian cinemas. The 33-second scene between Clark Kent and Lois Lane was removed and drew criticism from the audience.
Citing Variety, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) removed two kiss scenes from Superman because they were too sensual. They had to delete the scene in order to get a rating of 13+ before it aired on 7 July.
The scene between Clark Kent, played by David Corenswet and Lois Lane, played by Rachel Brosnahan, is the romance side shown in this film.
Several big Indian figures voiced protest against the scene censorship because it was deemed negligible.
If this is true, then this is CONYOL !!! A ridiculous thing happens every day. Every day. This may be a bit of our concern but is this something to think about? wrote actor Shreya Dhanwantary.

"India censored a kiss at Superman very dystopia, I don't think this is a healthy move to censor the expression of love between two adults in today's era," wrote one netizen.
"You can have a double-meaning joke but Superman kissing Lois Lane is the limit," Amol Jamwal quipped.
Apart from the sensor, Superman's film is currently the first best-selling film in Indian theaters. DC announced the happy news through social media.
In addition, this is not the first time this has happened in India. Previously, several scenes in the film Thunderbolts were released with cuts to several scenes. In addition, the mid finger scene in the F1 film was replaced with a boxing scene.
CBFC guidelines reveal free speech and expression, but there are restrictions related to decency and morality.
