There have been reports about Censor Board cutting the kisses short in Bollywood films as well as the Hollywood films releasing in India. Twitter has been abuzz with jokes on the same since the time this piece of news has started doing the rounds.
Upcoming Bond film ‘Spectre’ which has already released world over will be showcased in India from Friday (November 20) onwards.

#PahlajNihalani has always functioned on his own accord and I don't subscribe to his curtailing of creative rights. #JamesBond #CBFC

No one knows women better than our Censor Board. They know for exactly how long James Bond has to kiss Monica Bellucci to satisfy her.

James Bond’s women must be feeling so safe now that our Censor Board is there to protect their izzat & aabroo from that creep.

India’s Censor Board needs a mouthwash.

Hmmmm, so James Bond must be feeling rather tongue-tied with the Censor Board…..?????

Here are the jokes:
Censor Board is cutting out long kissing scenes. Even those of the flowers. Now, a short kiss and the next scene will show the baby.

When James Bond will come close to kiss his girl, they will show two flowers touching each other. Thank you Censor Board. 😂😂😂

Censor Board cuts down the duration of kisses in Spectre. This is what happens when you release your film after Sooraj Barjatya.

Can the censor board chief make his list of what is Indian n what is not public so that movies can be made accordingly :)
— Mahesh Langa (@LangaMahesh) November 18, 2015
Censor Board will only pass the James Bond movie uncut, if it is directed by Sooraj Barjatya.

Thanks to the censor board, Bond shall call M as ‘Babuji’ and Moneypenny as ‘behen’ #sanskarijamesbond

After Censor Board banning kissing scenes in movies I had a serious doubt! Will Hate Story 3 kissing scenes also be censored? #HateStory3 :D

Censor board has ordered to cut some scenes from new James bond movie. In other news Baba Ramdev is going to produce a Desi James Bond movie

No Censor Board, no. You got it wrong. CHARLIE SHEEN DIDN’T GET IT FROM KISSING.
— Aashna (@_clumsilly) November 18, 2015
“Censor Board” of the world’s 2nd most populated country has a problem with kissing. Rest assured, we’ll never have an Indian #JamesBond.
