 "#SanskariJamesBond trends on Twitter as Censor board shortens film's kissing scenes")
It seems making a
video about India by showing locations which are not in India was not enough for Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chief Pahlaj Nihalani. [caption id=“attachment_2513014” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Maybe this is what it will take to please the censor board. Image courtesy: @styl_ai/Twitter[/caption] Now, the CBFC has decided that the kissing scenes in Spectre, the latest James Bond movie, are too long. Of course, the censor board’s habit of moral policing and cutting scenes from films that display sexuality is quite old. Kissing scenes have been MIA from films in Indian theatres for quite a while now. However, this case is special because the censor board went one step ahead in terms of its stupidity and decided that the the length of the kisses in Spectre was “too excessive”, reported
The Times of India. So, according to the censor board, kissing is fine as long as there is a time limit attached to it. “Both of Daniel Craig’s kisses with his co-stars have been reduced by 50 per cent. The censor board had nothing against James Bond kissing. But the length of the kisses were found to be unnecessarily excessive,”
DNA quoted a source as saying. This decision by the censor board sparked outrage on Twitter, where people began mocking this decision with the hashtag #SanskariJamesBond, showing the censor board why trying to impose its ideas of morality on a James Bond movie was a bad idea. Here are some of those hilarious tweets:

No one messes with #SanskariJamesBond because he always carries a 9mm semi automatic Rakhi with him.
