James Gunn’s Superman, starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, faced censorship by India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). For its Indian release, the CBFC removed a kiss scene between the lead actors and edited a “sensual visual” deemed inappropriate. The film, which marks the beginning of Gunn’s revamped DC Universe, premieres globally on July 11. While international audiences will see the full version, Indian viewers will receive a toned-down cut. The decision has sparked debate over artistic freedom and cultural sensitivity, especially as the film explores themes of love and heroism. The CBFC’s intervention highlights ongoing tensions between global cinema and local moral standards. (PC: NDTV & India Today)
