Just when we thought the Obsession wave couldn’t get any bigger, a new twist has hit the internet. The film, which has been shattering box office records worldwide, is now making headlines for a different reason entirely. Days after its India release, a scene that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had snipped out has leaked online. And trust us, the internet is not keeping quiet about it.
Obsession’s Box Office Fire
Let’s talk numbers first, because Obsession is literally printing money. Made on a modest budget of approximately Rs 7 crore (that’s under 1 million dollars for the math wizards out there), the film has earned nearly 100 million dollars globally within days of its release, reports suggest. Industry insiders are calling it one of the most profitable releases of 2026, and honestly, who are we to argue?
The film hit Indian screens on May 29, and fans turned up in droves. But here’s the thing, yaar – while the world cheered, the CBFC sharpened its scissors. Even though the film received an A certificate, meaning it’s strictly for adults, the board still chose to snip a particularly violent scene. Cue the collective groan from moviegoers.
CBFC Ka Kata, And Now It’s Leaked
Yes, that’s the full-on controversy now. The censored scene – which reportedly contains intense violence – was removed from the Indian theatrical cut. Many fans felt that censorship for an adults-only film was unnecessary. Some even warned that such cuts often encourage piracy. And guess what? They were right. The deleted sequence has now surfaced on social media platforms, spreading like wildfire.
Insiders say the leaked footage has reignited the old debate about whether the CBFC is being too strict, even with A-rated films. The irony is not lost on anyone: the very act meant to ‘protect’ audiences may have pushed them toward pirated versions just to see the full picture. Kya baat hai, CBFC?
Netizens Have Feelings – And They’re Loud
Predictably, social media is divided. Some users are defending the CBFC’s move, arguing that violent content should be regulated regardless of the certificate. Others are calling it an overreach that punishes adult viewers who can make their own choices. But the loudest voice is from those who simply want to see the film as the filmmaker intended – no cuts, no compromises.
And then there’s the piracy angle. Reports suggest that whenever a film faces censorship cuts, pirated copies gain more traction. The fact that the censored scene is now floating around freely only strengthens that argument. For a film that’s already a massive hit, this leak might not hurt its box office, but it certainly adds a spicy layer to the conversation.
What do you think? Should the CBFC lighten up for adult audiences, or are these cuts justified? Drop your thoughts, because this debate isn’t going anywhere anytime soon!
