The Central Board of Film Certification has rated the Hindi dubbed version of the Hollywood superhero film 'Spider‑Man: Brand New Day' as U/A 13+, after trimming a kissing scene.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has issued a U/A 13+ certificate for the Hindi dubbed version of the Hollywood superhero film "Spider‑Man: Brand New Day". The board approved the film after a brief cut of a kissing scene, deeming it suitable for viewers aged 13 and above.
The decision was announced on Thursday, with the CBFC noting that the trimmed portion involved a brief romantic interaction between the lead characters. The cut was made to align the film with India’s rating guidelines for content involving romantic or sexual themes.
"Spider‑Man: Brand New Day" is the latest installment in the popular superhero franchise and is slated for release in Indian cinemas on 30 September. The film has already attracted attention for its high‑budget action sequences and the inclusion of a Hindi voice‑over track.
The U/A 13+ rating means that the film can be watched by children over 13 years old, while parents are advised to accompany younger viewers. The CBFC’s decision is expected to influence the film’s marketing strategy and box‑office performance in the domestic market.
