No long kisses please, we're Indians: Censor Board cuts James Bond's smooching scene by 50%
James Bond is not allowed to say the ‘F’ word. Two verbal cuts for Mr Bond have gagged him from uttering the ‘F’ word and also ‘a**hole’
The new James Bond film Spectre has been cleared by the Censor Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) with a ‘UA’ certification, but only after four cuts — two verbal and two visual. The visual cuts are both kisses, passionate as only James Bond’s pecks can be.
Says a source, “Both of Daniel Craig’s kisses with his co-stars have been reduced by 50 per cent. The censor board had nothing against James Bond kissing. But the length of the kisses were found to be unnecessarily excessive. We heard that Ranbir Kapoor’s kissing scenes in Tamasha has also been reduced by half. We wonder how the Censor Board decides how much kissing is enough.”

The CBFC thinks profanity is not for a gentleman on Her Majesty’s secret service.
