The biggest film of the year, War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is all set to release on Thursday, August 14 and the excitement for it is tremendous. The producers, Yash Raj Films (YRF), completed the censor process in time and in this article, we’ll focus on the cuts given to the spy action entertainer by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

The CBFC has not requested any deletions or changes to the action sequences. However, in certain other scenes, they have asked for modifications, including both audio and visual cuts. To begin with, the makers were asked to mute ‘inappropriate references’ in the audio as well as visuals. The changes were made in as many as six places in the film. An ‘obscene’ dialogue was replaced by an approved sentence. Just a minute after this dialogue, an ‘obscene’ gesture made by a character, lasting two seconds, was asked to be deleted.

That’s not all. The CBFC asked the makers to reduce sensual images by 50%. In terms of duration, that amounts to 9 seconds. These sensual visuals are assumed to be those of Kiara Advani’s bikini scene in the song ‘Aavan Jaavan’. Kiara’s never-before-seen hot avatar has got a roaring response ever since it was shown for just a few seconds in the teaser and the trailer of War 2. The song ‘Aavan Jaavan’ showed more glimpses of it. It broke the internet and now it remains to be seen how fans of Kiara would react after knowing that the CBFC has played spoilsport by censoring 9 seconds of it.

Once these changes were made, War 2 was passed with a U/A 16+ certificate on August 6. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 179.49 minutes. In other words, War 2 is 2 hours, 59 minutes and 49 seconds long.

Interestingly, War 2 makers approached the CBFC yet again on August 8. As per sources, they voluntarily cut down the film’s length to make it crisper and more effective. The revised run time of the film is now 171.44 minutes, that is, 2 hours, 51 minutes and 44 seconds.

Another industry source pointed out to Bollywood Hungama that it was the Revising Committee (RC) that cleared War 2 instead of the Examining Committee (EC). The source said, “It is possible that the EC must have asked for many changes, which must have prompted War 2 makers to approach the RC.”

The source added, “The Presiding Officer of the RC was Padma Shri Ramesh Patange. He is known to clear those films for which the EC has had reservations. Last year, he had cleared the controversial film Hamare Baraah and also Vedaa. The latter also had faced issues with the EC after which the RC cleared the film, albeit with changes.”

Another biggie in recent times to be cleared by the RC was the Aamir Khan-starrer Sitaare Zameen Par.

By Banglore Film City
Akshaye Khanna’s 2021 action-packed OTT film State of Siege: Temple Attack is all set to make its theatrical debut under a brand-new title — Akshardham: Operation Vajra Shakti. Nearly five years after its digital premiere, the high-octane drama will hit cinema halls on July 4, 2025, offering audiences a gripping, large-screen retelling of one of India’s most harrowing terror incidents. Directed by Ken Ghosh, the film is a dramatic recreation of the 2002 terrorist attack on the Akshardham Temple in Gujarat. It captures the horror of the assault and the bravery of the National Security Guard (NSG) commandos who led the operation to neutralise the attackers. The story, inspired by real events, blends tension, patriotism, and action in equal measure. To mark the announcement, the makers released a new poster on Instagram, which features haunting temple pillars casting the silhouette of a lone armed commando — a striking visual that evokes both reverence and courage. The caption reads, “A...
