Why Superman Was Censored in India & What Got Cut

The Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) allowed James Gunn’s Superman movie to be shown in theaters across India on July 7, 2025. However, they required the removal of 41 seconds from the film due to explicit content. This includes a 33-second scene with suggestive visuals that appears in two parts and an eight-second shot depicting an offensive gesture. These scenes will be replaced by a shorter, alternate version lasting only two seconds.
