Several scenes in the latest Superman film have been cut to meet the demands from India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). One of the cut scenes involves a kiss between Superman and Lois Lane,

India’s Central Board of Film Certification ( CBFC) removed two kiss scenes – most notably a 33-second mid-air kiss – deeming them “overly sensual,” per local reports, to achieve a UA (13+) rating before the film’s July 7 certification. The cuts have fueled a backlash over inconsistent and conservative censorship practices.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s yet another censored franchise film. India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cut 41 seconds from James Gunn’s tentpole Warner Bros. DCU film “ Superman ,” with the board citing that certain scenes were “overly sensual.”
