Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui: CBFC reduces lovemaking scene by 8 seconds; asks makers to add a disclaimer about the transgender community

Ayushmann Khurrana started his career in 2012 with Vicky Donor, a story of a sperm donor. Despite the taboo subject, the film got acceptance from families. Ayushmann later tackled many bold topics in his films and those movies also never came under the niche or ‘film festival cinema’ category. This has been a major USP for the talented actor and it is something that he only enjoys among all other actors of Bollywood. His next film, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, too seems to be based on a risqué idea. It has now come to light that the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) asked the makers for a few cuts.

 

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui: CBFC reduces lovemaking scene by 8 seconds; asks makers to add a disclaimer about the transgender community

 

As per the cut list of Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, five cuts or modifications were carried out by the makers, as asked by the CBFC. Firstly, a disclaimer was added which states, “No person associated with this film intends to offend or hurt any sentiments or feelings of the transgender community. The purpose is only to educate and create awareness amongst masses about the issues faced by the transgender community.”

 

Secondly, around 8 seconds of the lovemaking shot has been reduced. Then, the dialogue ‘Saali chakki’ was replaced with ‘Chakka kahin ka’. Similarly, ‘F**k’ was replaced with ‘Heck’ and ‘Bund’ was replaced with ‘Band baja ke’. Lastly, India was replaced with ‘zamana’ in a supposed naughty and funny dialogue.

 

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui releases this Friday, on December 10 but the makers obtained the censor certificate way back on October 22. After these cuts were carried out, the film was passed with a U/A certificate. The duration of the film as mentioned on the certificate is 117 minutes, that is, 1 hour and 57 minutes.

 

Directed by Rock On (2008), Kai Po Che (2013), and Kedarnath (2018) director Abhishek Kapoor, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui also stars Vaani Kapoor. The film was completely shot in the post-pandemic era, from October to December 2020.
