CBFC Cuts Thamma Kissing Scene, Replaces Dialogue

Anticipation Builds for the Diwali Release of Thamma

As we count down the days to the grand Diwali release of the much-anticipated film Thamma, excitement is building among fans and moviegoers alike. With just three days to go, the production house, Maddock Films, has completed the censorship process and is set for a successful launch of this horror comedy.

Key Updates on Thamma’s Censorship Changes

In an exclusive update from MyAxom Reviews, it has been revealed that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) required several changes before granting the film its release certificate. Among these were audio alterations and a significant visual edit concerning a kissing scene.

The CBFC requested audio modifications in three specific instances and a notable visual adjustment. They replaced the term ‘Alexander’ with ‘Sikandar’ and muted the reference to ‘Ashwathama’ in dialogue. Additionally, the phrase ‘Azaadi doonga’ was swapped for ‘Aiyaashi karata hoon’ during a pivotal scene.

One of the most significant modifications came with the reduction of a kissing scene by 5 seconds, which equates to a 30% cut. While some may view this adjustment as a dampener to the film’s appeal, it’s worth noting that this edit is among the shortest intimacy cuts demanded by the CBFC in recent memory. For comparison, in other recent films, such as Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, 60% of liplock visuals were removed, and Saiyaara had 10 seconds of sensual visuals cut. Such extensive edits have often sparked criticism against the CBFC for their stringent regulations.

Censorship Process and Film Length

Once all the requested changes were made, the CBFC officially handed over the censor certificate to the makers of Thamma on October 15. The film received a U/A 16+ rating and has a total runtime of 149.59 minutes—or approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. This information has created a buzz about the film’s length and pacing, crucial elements for viewer engagement during the festive season.

The Star-Studded Cast and Creative Team Behind Thamma

Thamma is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, known for his recent success with Munjya (2024). The film stars a powerhouse cast including Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal. Produced by the acclaimed Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films, known for delivering hits in the horror-comedy genre, this film aims to join the ranks of Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya, all of which have contributed significantly to the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe.

Radiating Anticipation as the Release Date Approaches

Scheduled for release on Tuesday, October 21, Thamma is generating headline news and buzz across social media platforms. Fans are eager to view how the combination of horror and comedy unfolds, especially with the effective marketing strategies employed by the filmmakers.

A Glimpse into the Film’s Advance Ticket Sales

In a testament to its popularity, advance ticket sales for Thamma have been flying off the shelves, particularly following a historic fan screening in Delhi. This event received enthusiastic feedback, contributing to the growing anticipation surrounding the film’s official release.
