EXCLUSIVE: CBFC censors 6 dialogues in Mastiii 4; deletes ‘top angle animal humping visuals’

2025 年 11 月 18 日 general

The sex comedy Mastiii 4 will be released on Friday, November 21 and it has caught attention due to its trailer and franchise value. A film of this sort is releasing in cinemas after a long time and this is expected to go in favour of the makers. There was a fear that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) might play spoilsport and ask for several cuts. In this article, Bollywood Hungama will exclusively focus on the cuts given to this film by the CBFC. The good news is that the cuts given to the film are limited. Three dialogues were modified, and one dialogue was requested to be replaced. The word ‘behen’ was replaced, and in another part of the film, the word ‘item’ was similarly replaced with an appropriate alternative. An alcohol brand name was changed, presumably to a fictional company name. The CBFC also asked the makers for some visual modifications. Its members asked the makers to delete ‘top angle animal humping visuals’. The said visual was of 9 seconds. Lastly, they asked the makers to reduce 30-second-long close visuals of human faces. Hence, 39 seconds of visuals were cut in all. Once these changes were made, Mastiii 4 was passed with an ‘A’ certificate on November 17. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 144. 17 minutes. In other words, Mastiii 4 is 2 hours 24 minutes and 17 seconds long. Mastiii 4 is directed by Milap Zaveri, who delivered a surprise super-hit just last month with Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. It stars Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani, who have always featured in the previous parts of the franchise as well Masti (2004), Grand Masti (2013) and Great Grand Masti (2016). This time, they are joined by Ruhii Singh, Shreya Sharma, Elnaaz Norouzi, Natalia Janoszek, Shaad Randhawa and Nishant Singh Malkani, along with Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri.

2025 年 11 月 11 日 general

The team of Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, has reportedly postponed its Delhi shooting schedule due to the city’s deteriorating air quality and heightened security measures following a recent blast near the Red Fort. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the cast and crew were set to begin a seven-day schedule in Delhi from November 12. However, the worsening Air Quality Index (AQI) and increased tension after the blast prompted the makers to defer the plan. A source told the publication, “Shahid along with Kriti and Rashmika were supposed to come to shoot in Delhi from November 12. The makers had planned a detailed schedule in Delhi for seven days starting from November 12. The air pollution crisis is one of the reasons. And then the heightened tension after the Delhi blast has also led to the decision. The team had also planned a schedule in the Old Delhi area, so there are multiple reasons that have added to the decision.”The source further clarified that the Delhi schedule has only been postponed, not cancelled. “The makers are now planning to do the shoot in December, if all goes well,” they added. The exact rescheduled dates are yet to be decided and will reportedly be finalised by the end of this month. Cocktail 2, directed by Homi Adajania, serves as the sequel to the 2012 hit Cocktail, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. The original film was a turning point in Deepika’s career, earning both commercial success and critical acclaim. The official release date of Cocktail 2 has not yet been announced.

Reliable sources have confirmed that the budget of King will be around Rs. 350 crores, excluding the amount that SRK and team decide to splurge for print, publicity and other ancillary expenses.”King started as an action thriller with an extended cameo from SRK, with Sujoy Ghosh as the director. The initial budget was Rs. 150 crores only, but the script had scope to go bigger and better. When Siddharth Anand came into the picture, he sat down with SRK to make the film on a grand scale, by designing action sequences on a never-before scale. SRK is a producer who loves to spend and treat the audience with the richest visuals on spectacle. He gave Sid a free hand, and the director came back with a budget of Rs. 350 crores,” a source informed Bollywood Hungama. SRK saw the vision of Sid and was spellbound by the stuff he had thought. “King is a global film made in India. What takes millions of dollars for the West to execute, Siddharth Anand is aiming to do the same at 1/5th the cost. The film has six extraordinary action sequences, designed to perfection. Three of them are shot at real locations, while the balance three will be canned on the sets,” the source told Bollywood Hungama. Big bucks are spent on SRK’s introductory sequence, which is said to be a major highlight of King. Directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Gauri Khan and Mamta Anand, King releases in 2026.

BREAKING: Ranbir Kapoor’s Love And War bows out of Eid 2026 clash with Yash’s Toxic; to release post June 2026

2025 年 10 月 30 日 economy, entertainment, politics

Earlier in the morning, Yash and the producers of Toxic reconfirmed that the fairy tale for adults will hit the big screen as scheduled in March 2026, coinciding with the Eid 2026 period. But in a shocking turn of events, the industry is buzzing with reports on the delay of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next, Love and War. Reliable sources confirm that Love and War will be missing its Eid 2026 deadline, thereby averting the clash with Yash’s epic, Toxic.”It’s a blessing in disguise, as it made no sense for two Pan-Indian films to clash on the same date. Love And War is running much behind its shooting schedule, and will now release in the second half of 2026. Around 75 days of shoot still remains, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali has requested Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal to allot bulk dates till Summer 2026 to wrap up the film,” a reliable source told Bollywood Hungama. Love And War is sure to miss the Eid 2026 deadline. “The film is running approximately. 40 days behind schedule, and the earliest it can now be released is in the month of June 2026. Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali will take a call on the film’s release soon and officially announce the delay in its release.”The delay in Love And War also averts the off-screen clash of Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, before their on-screen rivalry in Ramayana. And contrary to the speculations, it’s Ranbir who is not arriving on Eid, and not Yash, who is on track to bring his action romance in March 2026. “Toxic is on schedule, and the makers are super confident of their product. It’s one of those rare Indian films to be shot in Kannada and English.”More details on the release of Love And War are kept under wraps.

They have requested the multiplex chains to be fair with the showcasing, rather than going for lopsided showcasing,” the source told Bollywood Hungama. The source told us further, “PVRInox is the distributor of Thamma, and one of the top management employees of PVRInox is now a part of Team Thama, heading distribution. Deewaniyat team has asked all the national chains to go by the demand among the audience, rather than the foul play of leveraging equations for better showcasing.”The advances for both films are opening on 17th October, and there is immense pressure on national chains to give preference to Thamma. “Dinesh Vijan and the senior former PVRInox executive have demanded 75 percent shows, leaving only 25 percent for Deewaniyat.
