SHOCKING CBFC Demands: 23 Scene Cuts for Baaghi 4-Frontal Nudity and Risqué Language Zapped!
Tiger Shroff’s Bold Move: Baaghi 4 Takes a Thrilling Turn into Adult Territory
In a daring departure from his family-friendly repertoire, Tiger Shroff has unleashed Baaghi 4, a film that marks his plunge into the ‘A’ rated realm, rife with jaw-dropping violence and bloodshed. However, this thrilling venture has encountered its fair share of hurdles thanks to the ever-watchful eye of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which has famously wielded its scissors with zeal.
In an exclusive scoop, we’ve learned that despite its adult-only rating, Baaghi 4 faced a staggering 23 mandated cuts-including visual and audio edits-before receiving the green light. The film was certified on August 26, just in time for its worldwide premiere on September 5, but not without some notable casualties.
Picture this: the hero dramatically perched on a coffin-gone! A character lighting a cigarette from a sacred niranjan diya? Deleted! And in a move that would make any actor blush, a frontal nude scene was strategically hidden by the censor board. It doesn’t end there; a scene depicting a cigarette ignited from an amputated hand, 13 seconds long, was also cut. The knife toss toward a Jesus statue? Snipped.
On the violence front, the board was equally relentless, cutting out throat-slicing scenes and hands being severed. In a particularly graphic sequence, a sword insertion into a skull met the same fate. Our fingers twitch in suspense, wondering what remains of those thrilling action shots!
But the censor board didn’t stop with the visuals. The audio had its fair share of turmoil too, with raunchy dialogues getting the family-friendly makeover. Cops’ cheeky banter was sanitized, and even the word “condom” faced the dreaded mute button. The final product, post-cuts, received an ‘A’ certificate, clocking in at a meaty 163.5 minutes-roughly 2 hours and 43 minutes of adrenaline.
Yet, in a controversial twist, just three days post-certification, the makers decided it wasn’t enough-19 additional scenes were trimmed, cutting about 6 minutes and 45 seconds, leaving us with a final runtime of 157.05 minutes. This makes Baaghi 4 the third film in recent times to opt for voluntary trims after receiving its stamp of approval, following the trail left by War 2 and The Bengal Files.
With Baaghi 4, Tiger Shroff isn’t just flexing his muscles; he’s spinning a narrative that boldly steps into adult content, cleverly navigating the choppy waters of censorship while keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. Now, isn’t that an enticing tale worthy of the silver screen?
