EXCLUSIVE: CBFC goes easy on Tere Ishk Mein; only ONE ‘obscene’ word changed; intensely romantic and action scenes UNTOUCHED

This Friday will see the release of Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. The love saga is all set to surprise based on the advance booking trends, with a double-digit opening not being ruled out. And another good news is that the film has been passed with just one cut by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Tere Ishk Mein has a lot of fights and intense romance, as evident from the trailers. The CBFC usually asks for deletions in the action scenes, certain fiery dialogues or intimate moments. But with Tere Ishk Mein, they have not asked for any visual cut at all. Only one dialogue has been modified.”As per the cut list, an ‘obscene’ word was replaced with an appropriate word at around 27 minutes. The two more changes asked were to insert the anti-smoking static message in Hindi and blur the liquor brand label. Once these changes were made, Tere Ishk Mein was passed with a U/A 16+ certificate on November 24. The length of the film, as mentioned, on the censor certificate is 169. 17 minutes. In other words, Tere Ishk Mein is 2 hours, 49 minutes and 17 seconds long. It releases in cinemas on November 28. Fun at the trailer launchThe trailer launch of Tere Ishk Mein was held on November 14 and was attended by Dhanush, Kriti Sanon, director Aanand L Rai, producer Bhushan Kumar, co-producer Shiv Chanana, writer-producer Himanshu Sharma and co-writer Neeraj Yadav. At this event, Dhanush won the hearts of his fans with his replies and also sang, which led to a frenzy. A journalist asked the actor, “What is the one thing about (his Tere Ishk Mein character) Shankar that connected with you?” Dhanush raised laughs as he said, “Nothing. Really. I am nothing like Shankar!”Another highlight was when Dhanush was asked what love meant to him. He stylishly replied, “I think love is just another overrated emotion!”Also Read: Aanand L Rai opens up on Tere Ishk Mein being compared to Animal; says, “There are similarities”.

EXCLUSIVE: CBFC changes Rose-mary Marlow to Rose-mary Carlow in Mastiii 4; asks for THIS modification in the Aftab Shivdasani-old man sex joke

The sex comedy Mastiii 4 hit cinemas today and has already grabbed eyeballs thanks to its popular franchise and naughty trailer. Even before its release, there was apprehension that the Central Board of Film Certification would insist on multiple cuts. Bollywood Hungama had exclusively revealed two days ago that the board had asked for six dialogues to be altered. We can now share the detailed breakdown of some of these changes. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “One of the lines from the trailer that drew both laughs and criticism was the exchange between Aftab Shivdasani and an elderly patient. The old man tells Aftab, ‘Mujhe jawan ladki ke saath sex karna hai’. When a worried Aftab warns, ‘Lekin aisa karne se maut ho jaayegi’, the patient quips, ‘Marti hai toh mar jaaye saali’. In the theatrical version, this entire bit has been toned down. In the film, the patient now says, ‘Mujhe jawan ladki ke saath masti karni hai’. Aftab still cautions, ‘Lekin aisa karne se maut ho jaayegi’, to which the patient replies, ‘Main marne ke liye tayyar hoon’.”The source continued, “That is not all. The three women with whom the trio have an affair in Grand Masti (2013) are named Rose, Mary and Marlow. Read together, their names form a cheeky double meaning in Hindi. In Mastiii 4, a glamorous character is introduced as Rose-mary Marlow. Her name has now been changed to Rose-mary Carlow. It is surprising that the censors had no issue with the gag in the second film, released 12 years ago, but have objected to it this time.”Directed by Milap Zaveri, Mastiii 4 stars Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani, who have always featured in the previous parts of the franchise as well Masti (2004), Grand Masti and Great Grand Masti (2016). This time, they are joined by Ruhii Singh, Shreya Sharma, Elnaaz Norouzi, Natalia Janoszek, Shaad Randhawa and Nishant Singh Malkani, along with Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri.

EXCLUSIVE: Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is FIRST Diwali release in 22 years to get ‘A’ rating; CBFC replaces ‘Raavan’ with ‘villain’, ‘maal’ with ‘ladki’

Diwali usually brings family entertainers, but Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat takes a bold turn. The film has been certified ‘A’. With recent adult-rated hits like Animal (2023), Coolie (2025) etc., proving that an ‘A’ tag doesn’t stop box office success, this intense love story is ready to make its mark amid the festive fireworks. Despite the ‘A’ rating, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) requested six modifications from the makers of the romantic saga. A 2-minute 12-second shot was asked to be modified. The details of the shot aren’t specified in the cut list. A 1-second visual of Mantralaya was asked to be removed. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat also suffered audio cuts. The dialogue ‘sleep with her’ was asked to be removed. At two places, ‘Raavan’ was replaced with ‘villain’. The CBFC’s Examining Committee, in fact, asked the makers to remove all the dialogue belonging to the epic Ramayana. Lastly, ‘maal’ was replaced with ‘ladki’. Once these changes were made, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat was passed with an ‘A’ certificate on October 16. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 140. 17 minutes. In other words, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is 2 hours 20 minutes and 17 minutes long. Directed by Milap Zaveri, it stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa. Interestingly, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is the first Diwali release in 22 long years to be A-rated. The last time this occurred was during Diwali 2003. Four films were released in the festival week that year the period drama Pinjar, Govinda’s comic caper Raja Bhaiya, Tanishaa Mukherji’s horror flick Sssshhh and Vikram Bhatt’s thriller Inteha. The last two were passed with ‘A’ rating by the CBFC. A year prior, in 2002, Annarth, starring Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty, Vinod Kambli and others, was given an adults-only rating. In 2001, Kamal Haasan’s ambitious venture Aalavandhan, which was released in Hindi as Abhay, was also meant only for adults. In 1999, the A-rated Shool, starring Manoj Bajpayee and Raveena Tandon with a special appearance by Shilpa Shetty, was a Diwali release and it clashed with Hum Saath Saath Hain.
