The much-anticipated romantic comedy science fiction film, 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya', starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, is making headlines as it gears up for its theatrical release. However, amidst the excitement, the film has encountered a hurdle with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) mandating cuts to certain scenes. Let's delve into the details of the edits and what they mean for the film's narrative.

The Alterations

As 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya' approaches its release date, reports have surfaced regarding cuts made by the CBFC to specific scenes in the film. According to The Times of India, the censor board has removed approximately 25 percent of an intimate scene featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. This decision has led to a reduction in the scene's original length from 36 seconds to 27 seconds, impacting the overall storytelling.

Furthermore, the Examining Committee has instructed the filmmakers to incorporate an anti-smoking static message in the movie to enhance awareness about the hazards of smoking. Additionally, the CBFC has mandated the replacement of the word 'Daru' with 'Drink' in a particular scene, aligning with regulatory guidelines.
