EXCLUSIVE: CBFC goes easy on Tere Ishk Mein; only ONE ‘obscene’ word changed; intensely romantic and action scenes UNTOUCHED
This Friday will see the release of Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. The love saga is all set to surprise based on the advance booking trends, with a double-digit opening not being ruled out. And another good news is that the film has been passed with just one cut by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Tere Ishk Mein has a lot of fights and intense romance, as evident from the trailers. The CBFC usually asks for deletions in the action scenes, certain fiery dialogues or intimate moments. But with Tere Ishk Mein, they have not asked for any visual cut at all. Only one dialogue has been modified.”As per the cut list, an ‘obscene’ word was replaced with an appropriate word at around 27 minutes. The two more changes asked were to insert the anti-smoking static message in Hindi and blur the liquor brand label. Once these changes were made, Tere Ishk Mein was passed with a U/A 16+ certificate on November 24. The length of the film, as mentioned, on the censor certificate is 169. 17 minutes. In other words, Tere Ishk Mein is 2 hours, 49 minutes and 17 seconds long. It releases in cinemas on November 28. Fun at the trailer launchThe trailer launch of Tere Ishk Mein was held on November 14 and was attended by Dhanush, Kriti Sanon, director Aanand L Rai, producer Bhushan Kumar, co-producer Shiv Chanana, writer-producer Himanshu Sharma and co-writer Neeraj Yadav. At this event, Dhanush won the hearts of his fans with his replies and also sang, which led to a frenzy. A journalist asked the actor, “What is the one thing about (his Tere Ishk Mein character) Shankar that connected with you?” Dhanush raised laughs as he said, “Nothing. Really. I am nothing like Shankar!”Another highlight was when Dhanush was asked what love meant to him. He stylishly replied, “I think love is just another overrated emotion!”Also Read: Aanand L Rai opens up on Tere Ishk Mein being compared to Animal; says, “There are similarities”.
EXCLUSIVE: CBFC changes Rose-mary Marlow to Rose-mary Carlow in Mastiii 4; asks for THIS modification in the Aftab Shivdasani-old man sex joke
The sex comedy Mastiii 4 hit cinemas today and has already grabbed eyeballs thanks to its popular franchise and naughty trailer. Even before its release, there was apprehension that the Central Board of Film Certification would insist on multiple cuts. Bollywood Hungama had exclusively revealed two days ago that the board had asked for six dialogues to be altered. We can now share the detailed breakdown of some of these changes. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “One of the lines from the trailer that drew both laughs and criticism was the exchange between Aftab Shivdasani and an elderly patient. The old man tells Aftab, ‘Mujhe jawan ladki ke saath sex karna hai’. When a worried Aftab warns, ‘Lekin aisa karne se maut ho jaayegi’, the patient quips, ‘Marti hai toh mar jaaye saali’. In the theatrical version, this entire bit has been toned down. In the film, the patient now says, ‘Mujhe jawan ladki ke saath masti karni hai’. Aftab still cautions, ‘Lekin aisa karne se maut ho jaayegi’, to which the patient replies, ‘Main marne ke liye tayyar hoon’.”The source continued, “That is not all. The three women with whom the trio have an affair in Grand Masti (2013) are named Rose, Mary and Marlow. Read together, their names form a cheeky double meaning in Hindi. In Mastiii 4, a glamorous character is introduced as Rose-mary Marlow. Her name has now been changed to Rose-mary Carlow. It is surprising that the censors had no issue with the gag in the second film, released 12 years ago, but have objected to it this time.”Directed by Milap Zaveri, Mastiii 4 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 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.

SCOOP: Dhurandhar makers eye May 29, 2026 for the release of the second part
On Monday, November 17, Bollywood Hungama was the first one to break the viral news that Dhurandhar is a two-part saga. As expected, the news travelled far and wide. 2 days later and a day after the grand trailer launch, Bollywood Hungama brings to you one more update about this film. A source told us, “Dhurandhar’s first part will arrive in cinemas on December 5, as is common knowledge. The makers want to release the second part in the first half of 2026, particularly in the summers. Accordingly, they have set their eyes on the May 29 slot. It is empty and hasn’t been grabbed yet. This will give them an advantage of a solo release, just like the first part, which is arriving sans any competition.”The source continued, “However, the makers have not yet locked the May 29 date. They are looking at other vacant dates as well in May and also are considering if Dhurandhar Part 2 can arrive in cinemas in June. They plan to take a call on it soon.”Meanwhile, there was no mention of Dhurandhar being a two-part saga at the grand trailer launch, held yesterday, on November 18, at Mumbai’s iconic Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre. An industry insider commented, “The makers probably plan to lock the date before the release of the first part. Dhurandhar Part 1 is expected to end with the announcement of the second installment along with its release date.”On Monday, Bollywood Hungama carried a quote by a source that said, “Dhurandhar’s first part will end at a decisive point and the story will then continue in the second part. Director Aditya Dhar has shot extensively and the film has shaped up really well. But since it’s very lengthy, he and the makers, Jio Studios and B62 Studios, have toyed with the idea of breaking it into 2 parts. If this is the plan, then Dhurandhar’s part 2 will arrive next year, preferably in the first half.”Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh in the lead and also features Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan and Sara Arjun.

SCOOP: Dhurandhar may not end in ONE film – Ranveer Singh’s most ambitious saga headed for PART 2 in 2026?
Bollywood Hungama has been at the forefront in giving news about one of the most awaited films of 2025, Dhurandhar. After informing viewers that 2000 fans of lead actor Ranveer Singh will assemble at the grand trailer launch, we reported earlier today that it is expected to be the actor’s lengthiest film. Now, we bring to you another news of the film, which has created a lot of chatter in the industry. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “There have been reports that Dhurandhar is a two-part saga. Hence, the film, which will be released on December 5, will be the first installment. It’ll end at a decisive point and the story will then continue in the second part.”The source continued, “It is said that director Aditya Dhar has shot extensively and the film has shaped up really well. But since it’s very lengthy, they have toyed with the idea of breaking it into 2 parts. If this is the plan, then Dhurandhar’s part 2 will arrive next year, preferably in the first half.”It now remains to be seen whether the makers, Jio Studios and B62 Studios, will announce the two-part aspect of Dhurandhar before release or if viewers will get to know about it only towards the end of the first part when they see the film in cinemas. We reached out to Jio Studios to find out if Dhurandhar is a two-part saga, but they chose not to comment. Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh in the lead and also features Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan and Sara Arjun. It is Aditya Dhar’s next directorial after the blockbuster and much-loved Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019). The teaser was unveiled on July 6, on Ranveer Singh’s birthday, and got a smashing response. It immediately increased the excitement for the action entertainer. As a result, the trailer, which will be released tomorrow, is keenly anticipated.

EXCLUSIVE: CBFC censors frontal nudity scene and 2 sexually explicit visuals in Agra
After touring various festivals, Titli (2015) director Kanu Behl’s Agra will finally arrive in cinemas tomorrow, that is, November 14. The film is known not for its realism but also sexually explicit content. Several moviegoers and journalists watched the uncut version of the film at the 21st MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2023 and were wondering if the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) would allow its theatrical release without any cuts. Bollywood Hungama has learned that as expected, the CBFC has asked for some modifications. Agra is a rare Hindi film to have frontal nudity and the Examining Committee of the CBFC asked the makers to replace the scene. Similarly, two sexually explicit visuals in the second half of the film were asked to be deleted. Lastly, the CBFC members asked the makers to replace obscene words. Once these changes were made, Agra was handed over an ‘A’ certificate on May 17, 2024. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 115. 05 minutes. In other words, Agra is 1 hours, 55 minutes and 5 seconds long. Agra marks the debut of Mohit Agarwal and also stars Rahul Roy, Priyanka Bose, Ruhani Sharma, Vibha Chibber, Sonal Jha and Aanchal Goswami in pivotal roles. It is the story of a sexually repressed young boy, who lives in a small house in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, with his mother, father and his father’s mistress. Bollywood Hungama had spoken to Kanu Behl after the MAMI premiere of Agra in November 2023. When asked if he was worried that the explicit sexual scenes might be cut by the CFC, he replied, “We’ll see. Hopefully, the censor board will see the film for what it is, how important the film is and what it’s trying to convey. I am hoping that they’ll be reasonable about the film. The sexuality in the film isn’t titillating. We are not trying to use sexuality for any other purpose. It is there to explore people’s sexual lives. The gaze of the film is correct, and I hope the censor board sees it that way and they assess the film through that lens.”Also Read: EXCLUSIVE: Rahul Roy-Priyanka Bose starrer Agra is a RARE Hindi film to depict frontal nudity; director Kanu Behl says “I am hoping that the Censor Board will be reasonable.

Apart from bagging Yash Raj Films’ action flick, Aaishvary Thackeray also composes music for Alpha for the same banner
The Nishanchi actor Aaishvary Thackeray is not only playing one of the leads in Yash Raj’s film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, he is also doing the music in Yash Raj films’ next release Alpha featuring Alia Bhatt. Apparently, Aditya Chopra spotted Aaishvary’s music talent long before the young actor’s acting skills became apparent in Anurag Kashyap’s film. Shiv Sena Supremo Bal Thackeray’s grandson and Smita Thackeray’s son, Aaishvary Thackeray, who got rave reviews for his debut in a double role in Anurag Kashyap’s Nishanchi, is on to bigger things. Aaishvary has just been signed on to play the other lead in Yash Raj’s Film’s untitled action film being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar featuring the Saiyaara superstar Ahaan Pandey in the lead. The Nishanchi actor plays the other lead. He was convinced to do the role by Aditya Chopra himself.“The boy (Aaishvary Thackeray) was not sure his presence would be justified in a film which already had the Saaiyara star in it. But Adi convinced Aaishvary. Adi has taken Aaishvary under his wings,” said a source. Commenting on Aaishvary Thackeray’s rapid progression, mentor Anurag Kashyap said, “He is a good boy. Very quiet otherwise. Rarely talks. Adi (Chopra) has been a mentor to him from very early days for music. They never saw him as an actor but now they do. I am happy for him.”Also Read: Ali Abbas Zafar casts Aaishvary Thackeray as antagonist opposite Ahaan Panday in YRF’s next; promises ‘big-screen carnage’.
