Mumbai, Aug 8 (IANS) Hollywood films were allowed more kisses even for films certified for all ages, but now in a bid to stop allegations of discrepancies in the certification of Indian and international films, the censor board has decided to treat kissing scenes in Hollywood and Bollywood with the same yardstick. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has clamped down on a deep-mouth French kiss in the Lasse Hallstrom’s “The 100 Foot Journey”, which features Om Puri and Helen Mirrren as two warring restaurateurs who come together to cook up a romantic dish. The torrid kiss that the CBFC objected to doesn’t feature Puri and Mirren. It’s Manish Dayal, (seen as Om Puri’s onscreen son Hassan Kadam), and his French girlfriend played by Charlotte Le Bon, who share a torrid tongue-to-tongue that sent the CBFC into a tizzy.
