Kissing no longer taboo
The Censor Board in India has retained kissing scenes in `OK Jaanu`. Incidentally, when actors Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor’s kissing scenes in `Befikre` (2016) made it to the big screen without cuts, it had raised many eyebrows. Movie goers wondered, how the censor board, that was drawing flak for chopping off bra scenes and trimming kissing scenes, let this pass. In fact, Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor had 23 kissing scenes in `Befikre`. Now, the board has retained all kissing scenes in `OK Jaanu`, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. Similarly, Vidya Balan’s `Begum Jaan`, has got no cuts despite many intimate scenes. This is to recall that kissing scenes in films such as `Tamasha` `Bombay Velvet `, `Spectre` and `Ae Dil Hai Mushkil` had come under attack.
