Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown Ups is just a day away from release. The film’s Hindi version has undergone major changes as directed by CBFC. From muting abusive dialogues to reducing a drug abuse scene, the action thriller was subjected to several modifications. To note, the film received an A certificate with a runtime of over 3 hours.
Toxic Hindi version CBFC changes
As per a report in Bollywood Hungama, Toxic’s Hindi version has faced several changes following instructions from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The Examining Committee asked the makers to replace an abusive word, while an offensive dialogue in the first half and an abusive dialogue directed at a child in the second half were ordered to be muted.
A scene depicting drug abuse was also shortened as per the CBFC’s instructions. Additionally, an obscene dialogue in the second half was replaced. The statutory warning, which appeared in Tamil, was also changed to Hindi. Following these modifications, the Hindi version of Toxic was cleared by the CBFC. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 3 hours, 14 minutes and 12 seconds.
The film has been in the news for its intimate scenes after the song Tabaahi dropped. Addressing the backlash, Yash said at the trailer launch, “Vulgarity is wrong. I haven’t even kissed, as you may have noticed. There is a certain line, and we understand that. Toxic is for Gen Zs. It’s for the conversations you guys are having, what problems you guys have with the seniors.”
