'Bad Newz' clears censor board scrutiny with UA certificate after having THESE scenes cut & altered

The much-awaited film Bad Newz, starring Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk, is set to hit theaters on July 19, 2024. The makers have been creating significant buzz with song releases and various promotional events. Recently, the film received a UA certificate, but not without some alterations.

According to a report from Bollywood Hungama, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) requested the makers to edit out a 27-second kissing scene from three different parts of the film. The CBFC's Examining Committee scrutinized the film and censored three kissing scenes between Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri.

These scenes, totaling 27 seconds, were detailed in the cut list: one lasting 9 seconds, another 10 seconds, and the third 8 seconds. Rather than cutting frames, the CBFC required the 'visual of lip-lock' to be modified. Additionally, minor changes were requested, such as replacing a disclaimer at the beginning, inserting anti-alcohol statics, and increasing the font size of the anti-alcohol message.

After implementing these modifications, Bad Newz received a U/A certificate. The film's duration is specified as 142 minutes, translating to 2 hours and 22 minutes. Currently, three songs titled "Tauba Tauba," "Jaanam," and "Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam" have been released from the film, receiving significant love and appreciation from fans.

The trailer of Bad Newz teases an uproarious comedy. It introduces Triptii Dimri's character, who is pregnant but uncertain about the father's identity. Initially, she meets Vicky Kaushal's character, and they fall in love. She confesses her pregnancy, unsure if he is the father.

Later, Ammy Virk's character enters her life, and she falls for him too, raising the possibility that he could be the father as well. The situation escalates when doctors suggest both Vicky and Ammy might be potential fathers due to a rare condition. The trio embarks on a quest to determine paternity, competing with each other to establish their claim.

Fans are eagerly awaiting its release to see the chemistry between Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk unfold on the big screen.
