New Delhi: The latest to the join the James Bond series movie ‘Spectre' made it to the news after the censor board edited an intimate scene. This move by the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) invited flak from Bond fans when the board reduced the duration of a kissing scene by 20 seconds.
This infuriated 007 fans and lambasted the sensor board chief Pahlaj Nihlani on social media platform with #SanskaariBond, which was trending on FB and Twitter for more than 24 hours.
Nihlani, while defending board and self, said that he didn't watch the movie, but justified the cuts.
“My panel has watched it, my office members have watched it…” he said.
Censor boards' cuts, however, did not stop viewers from watching what they missed after buying the ticket.
The edited video of Daniel Craig and Lea Seydoux kissing in the train has gone viral. The passionate kiss shows a lot of chemistry and affection between the two characters, and is not just a random smooch out of nowhere.
‘Spectre' has performed better than any James Bond flick in India which released on November 20. Watch the deleted scene right here:
