The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Central Board of Film Certification has cleared Spider-Man: Brand New Day for release in India with a UA 13+ certificate, meaning children above 13 can watch it with parental guidance.
- Before granting the certificate, the board directed the makers to cut an eight-second kissing scene and remove offensive words from the audio and subtitles.
- The film, releasing on July 30, will have a runtime of 2 hours 24 minutes, and Indian audiences will see a version different from the one screening abroad.
- The CBFC's decision has drawn criticism on social media, with fans questioning why romantic scenes were cut even after an age-based certificate was given and accusing the board of double standards.
