New Delhi: As the release of Ranbir Kapoor’s highly awaited action film “Animal” on December 1 approaches, details from the Film Certification Board (CBFC) report have emerged, disclosing a runtime of 203 minutes or 3 hours and 23 minutes. Accompanying the film’s Adults Only (A) certification, the CBFC has outlined five necessary modifications, according to a widely circulated image of the report circulating on social media.

A significant adjustment involves “intimate visuals,” specifically focusing on alterations to scenes featuring characters Vijay and Zoya. The report specifies, “Modified the intimate visuals of Vijay and Zoya by deleting the close-up shots at TCR 02:28:37.” Additionally, the CBFC has directed director Sandeep Reddy Vanga to change a specific word at the 1-hour and 31-minute mark to “Black,” while the term “vastra” is to be substituted with “costume.”

Furthermore, two undisclosed dialogues have undergone revisions, with “Kabhi nahin” and “Kya bol rahe ho aap” taking the place of the original lines. At the 2-hour and 13-minute mark, the term “natak” has been muted, and the subtitles adjusted to convey, “You change pads four times a month.”

A user, disseminating the CBFC report on X (formerly Twitter), shared, “#Animal CBFC Report. Run-time: 3hr 23min 29sec. Certified: A. #AnimalCensorReport,” sparking conversations about the mandated adjustments in the film ahead of its eagerly anticipated premiere.
