Ananya Panday’s Chand Mera Dil Faces Censor Cuts Ahead of Release

Ananya Panday’s Chand Mera Dil Faces Censor Scissors, Fans React

Ananya Panday and Lakshya’s latest romantic venture, Chand Mera Dil, is already the centre of attention after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) intervened before its release. The film, designed as a youthful romantic entertainer, has been granted a U/A 16+ certificate, but only after the makers removed around 96 seconds of intimate kissing and passionate scenes as mandated by the board.

Director’s previous projects have often courted young audiences, and this fresh pairing of Lakshya with Ananya has generated notable curiosity, especially given the romantic nature of the story. The move by the CBFC to trim several key moments has not gone unnoticed; discussions have erupted on social media, with many fans questioning the necessity of such censorship in contemporary romantic dramas. The edits have become a trending topic, highlighting the ongoing debate about creative freedom and certification standards in Indian cinema.

According to reports, the censor board’s requirement to cut nearly a minute and a half of content was a precondition for granting clearance. This has only added to the anticipation and controversy around the film, which is scheduled for theatrical release on May 22. As excitement builds, all eyes are on how these changes might impact the film’s narrative and audience reception.

With the release just days away, fans and industry watchers alike are eager to see if Chand Mera Dil lives up to the buzz—or if the censor cuts will overshadow its romantic promise.
