Obsession CBFC Cuts Upset Horror Fans

Obsession India Release Sparks Debate

Curry Barker’s supernatural horror-thriller Obsession opened in Indian theatres on May 29, but its release quickly turned into a censorship debate. The film received an A certificate from the CBFC, yet 38 seconds of footage were removed before its Indian release.

What CBFC Removed From Obsession

The Obsession movie CBFC cuts reportedly include 24 seconds of extreme violence and 14 seconds of graphic sexual content. A visual involving nudity was also deleted. The approved version runs for around 1 hour and 50 minutes, with smoking and alcohol warnings added where needed.

Horror Fans Question A Certificate Cut

The Obsession 38-second cut has upset several horror fans online. Many asked why an adult-only film still needed edits after getting an A certificate. Some viewers claimed the changes affected important story moments, especially near the climax.

Why The Debate Matters

The controversy has renewed discussion around horror film censorship in India and whether adult audiences should be allowed to watch mature films without major edits. Obsession stars Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, and Michael Johnston. The story follows a lonely music store employee whose wish for love takes a dangerous and disturbing turn.
