Following additional revisions by the team, the runtime was reduced by 10 minutes and 5 seconds. The updated duration now stands at 2 hours, 44 minutes and 52 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>As a part of the most recent changes, the makers trimmed as many as 63 scenes. While several cuts involved only a couple of seconds, the longest removal lasted 72 seconds from a sequence within the song \u2018<em>O Sundari<\/em>.\u2019 One other 27 seconds were faraway from the song \u2018<em>O Re O Sawariya<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Through the initial certification process, the Examining Committee had also suggested a couple of modifications. An obscene word on the twenty sixth minute was replaced, while one other set of objectionable words across the one hour mark was asked to be modified. Towards the tip of the film, an obscene word appearing within the subtitle was removed. A denigrating reference to women in the primary half was replaced, and the makers were instructed to incorporate disclaimers relating to spiritual and superstitious references within the narrative.<\/p>\n<p>After these changes were implemented, the film received its censor certificate on April 2.<\/p>\n<p>The film is scheduled to reach in cinemas on April 16 with paid previews, while advance bookings are set to start on April 14. The updated runtime brings the ultimate version closer to its theatrical release as anticipation builds across the Akshay Kumar starrer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0EXCLUSIVE: CBFC replaces obscene words in Bhooth Bangla; makers voluntarily bring down the film\u2019s length by 10 minutes post-certification<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4> More Pages: Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection<\/h4>\n<div class=\"entry-tags\">\n<div class=\"tag-links\"><strong>Tags : <\/strong> Akshay Kumar, Balaji Motion Pictures, Bhooth Bangla, Bollywood Features, Bollywood News, Cape Of Good Movies, CBFC, CBFC (Censor Board Of Film Certification), Censor, Censor Board, Censor Board of Film Certification, Central Board Of Film Certification, Dhurandhar The Revenge, Exclusive, News, Wamiqa Gabbi<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 alt=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" title=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\">BOLLYWOOD NEWS &#8211; LIVE UPDATES<\/h2>\n<p>Catch us for contemporary Bollywood News, Latest Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, Latest Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today &#038; Upcoming Movies 2026 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;); }); The makers of Bhooth Bangla have finalised the film\u2019s runtime at 164 minutes and 52 seconds after fresh voluntary edits were accepted by the Central Board of Film Certification on April 11.
