Spider-Man: Brand New Day has received a UA 13+ certificate from India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) ahead of its theatrical release in the country.
According to the CBFC certificate dated July 23, the film has an approved runtime of 144 minutes and 52 seconds, or 2 hours, 24 minutes and 52 seconds.
The certification document shows that the English-language 3D version, with English subtitles, was cleared with several modifications. The CBFC directed the makers to add a statutory anti-liquor disclaimer to the film.
The board also ordered the studio to mute and remove obscene words from the audio and subtitles at three points. In addition, two kissing scenes, appearing at around the 44-minute and 57-minute marks, were deleted.
The visual cuts total eight seconds, while the muted dialogue does not affect the film’s runtime. Following the changes, the approved runtime remains 144 minutes and 52 seconds.
The film has been classified as UA 13+, allowing children below 13 to watch it under parental guidance.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the fourth instalment in the MCU’s Spider-Man film series.
The film stars Tom Holland alongside Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal and others in key roles.
The film will hit Indian theatres on July 30, a day before its worldwide release.
