Three days are left for the discharge of the grand Diwali biggie, Thamma, and the joy is regularly increase. The makers, Maddock Movies, accomplished the censor process on time and in this text, Bollywood Hungama will exclusively deal with the cuts suffered by the horror comedy.
EXCLUSIVE: CBFC reduces kissing scene in Thamma by 5 seconds; replaces ‘Azaadi doonga’ with ‘Aiyaashi karata hoon’
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) asked for audio cuts in three places and one visual modification as well. The word ‘Alexander’ was replaced with ‘Sikandar’. In one other dialogue, the word ‘Ashwathama’ was muted.
Within the second half of the film, the words ‘Azaadi doonga’ were replaced with ‘Aiyaashi karata hoon’. The Examining Committee also asked the makers to ‘reduce the slurping sound of drinking blood to minimum’. Finally, a kissing scene within the second half was reduced by 30%, that’s, by 5 seconds.
The last modification may dampen the joy of the moviegoers but on the positive side, that is the shortest intimacy cut asked by the CBFC in recent times. In Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, liplock visuals were reduced by 60%. In Saiyaara, the makers were instructed to delete and replace 10 seconds of ‘sensual, intimacy, body exposure visuals’. Lastly, in Superman, the CBFC axed 33 seconds of ‘sensual visual’ from Superman. It led to massive criticism because the studio needed to make abrupt cuts to accommodate CBFC’s directive.
Coming back to Thamma, once the changes were made, the censor certificate was handed over to the makers on October 15. The film was passed with a U/A 16+ rating. The length of the movie, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 149.59 minutes. In other words, Thamma is 2 hours 29 minutes and 59 seconds long.
Thamma releases on Tuesday, October 21 and stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Paresh Rawal. It’s backed by blockbuster producer Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Movies and directed by Aditya Sarpotdar of Munjya (2024) fame. It is part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe and hence, belongs to the identical world as Stree, Bhediya and Munjya.
