Director Jamesesiyes Gun "Superman" hit theaters over the weekend, and after literally years of waiting, DC's new universe is officially on us. The movie introduces us to David Corensvet as Superman/Clark KentWith Rachel Brososhan on the ship like Lois Lane, it makes up a new interpretation of one of the biggest romances in the history of comics. But it turns out that viewers in India do not fully receive the director's vision of that romance, as it is censored in the country.

As reported by DiversityThe Central Board of Certification of the Film (CBFC) in India removed two scenes with a kiss from Superman. One of them was a 33 -second kiss of the middle air, which was teasing somewhere in marketing. As for why they were removed? The FBC thought they were "too sensual", obviously. To achieve a rating of UA (13+), those kisses were taken out of the film.

Superman was a big hit on the box office around the world at the weekend openingSo whatever was to do to get into the cinema globally, Warner Bros. is probably pleased. That said, the decision was slightly found under the fire. As suggested by anmol Ambamval TwitterIndian censorship may seem a little inconsistent, saying the following:

"You can have a double meaning jokes in Housefull 5. Deverings & Gory Violence in Atat. But .... Superman kissing Lois Lane is where we draw the line."

"HouseFull 5" and "Jaat" are Indian productions. What seems that Jamwal seems to be the CBFC is harder for the United States movies than the films originating in India. As for this writing, neither CBFC or Warner Bros. They did not comment on this issue. Nor is Gun, who is quite active on social media and tends to solve everything that reaches a certain level of noise.

In righteousness, censorship and controversy tend to go hand in hand. Only in recent years is becoming more than a problem with hot buttons, as the global theater market has become increasingly important for Hollywood blockbusters. At one point, The study was found under the fire for the so -called. "Self -censorship" in order for certain films to provide editions in China and elsewhere. Things have changed in the Pandemic era, with China specially favoring the home titles.

The bigger question is that the study like Warner Bros. needs a robust return abroad to the box office to justify the budget of more than $ 200 million for Superman and other similar blockbusters. India is a huge market and taking the attitude against this censorship would cost the studio millions. It is a business decision that is likely to make a company of that size.

The bigger question is that other countries around the world have different ways of classifying films. Italy abolished film censorship in full in 2021But that's a rare case. The G-17 G-17 used in the United States is not used elsewhere in the world, so a large film like this must go through various censorship boards, with various adjustments sometimes needed in different countries. It is just the nature of the astware.

That said, not all censorship is created equal. The controversy over Lesbian kiss in Pixar's "light" was particularly messy. This is far from the first time such a thing appeared and it certainly won't be the last, unfortunately. But this seems to attract enough attention that Warner Bros., Gun and/or CBC is likely to comment on it before everyone is told and completed.

Superman is now in cinemas.
