The Mumbai-based Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has reined in the fictional British spy’s famously lusty romantic life by cutting the length of two passionate embrace scenes, its chairperson told AFP.“We have reduced them,” CBFC head Pahlaj Nihalani said, referring to separate kissing scenes between Daniel Craig, who plays Bond, and his co-stars Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux. “Our work is for censoring the movie according to the rating of the film so we have done that,” Nihalani said of “Spectre”, which hits screens in India on Friday.Nihalani said the film had been given an unrestricted adult rating, which means parental guidance is required for children under 12 years old. A source at Sony Pictures Entertainment confirmed to newsmen that the edits had been made. “Two kissing scenes have been reduced by a few seconds,” the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity, adding that two swear words had also been deleted.Nihalani said the film’s promoters had the right to object to the edits but had not done so. However, It’s the country that gave the world the Kama Sutra.
