CBFC cuts 10 seconds of intimate scenes in Saiyaara, angry netizens ask, ‘was Housefull 5 sanskari?'
CBFC cuts 10 seconds of intimate scenes in Saiyaara and the internet is disappointed
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Mohit Suri and team was instructed to remove certain 'objectionable' words and substitute them with more 'suitable' alternatives in four instances. Additionally, a 10-second sequence featuring 'sensual, intimate, and body exposure visuals' has reportedly been cut. The CBFC also directed the makers to add a static helmet safety warning in all scenes showing two-wheeler vehicles.
The internet asks, was Housefull 5 sanskari?
As soon as the news surfaced, it quickly made its way to Reddit, where users questioned the logic behind the CBFC's decision to cut a 10-second intimate scene while simultaneously approving a film like Housefull 5, widely criticized for its crass humor and barrage of double entendre jokes.
One wrote, 'And the obscene content that were forced upon us in the worst movie of the year, Housefull 5.'
Another added, 'But we were fed Animal & Housefull 5 without any complaints.'
Saiyaara release date
Scheduled for a theatrical release on July 18, Saiyaara offers an intense narrative rooted in themes of love, identity, and emotional complexity. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film features newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in the lead roles.

'It's safe to say… two beautiful, magical STARS are born," was how her note began. She continued, '@aneetpadda_ @ahaanpandayy — I don't remember the last time I looked at two actors with such awe." She added, 'With stars in my eyes… watching the stars in yours. You both shine with such individuality, such honesty — I could watch you again, and again, and again. (And let's be honest… I probably will.) I've already gushed to you both individually — but clearly, once was not enough. So here I am. Gushing. Again."

An excerpt from our review read: 'But what truly elevates the screenplay is the scintillating chemistry between the lead pair. Mohit taps into the rawness and naivety of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda and weaves a story with a beating heart. Saiyaara isn't experimental, it isn't novel and it isn't spiffy but it has a lot of heart. Ahaan as Krish does a fantastic job. What an incredible debut! He delivers an act that can make even the experienced and seasoned envious." Meanwhile, Saiyaara broke records by earning Rs 21.25 crore on Day 1. The film hit the screens on July 18, 2025, in theatres worldwide, without much promotions. First Published: July 19, 2025, 21:18 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
