The mid-air kiss scene between Superman (David Corenswet) and Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) in the new *Superman* movie was indeed cut from the Indian theatrical release. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in India deemed the 33-second kiss "overly sensual" and requested it be shortened or removed to secure a U/A certificate, leading to significant edits that fans noticed and criticized online.

This censorship sparked quite a backlash on social media, with many fans and celebrities expressing disappointment at the removal of what is considered a standard romantic moment in films globally. The scene still appears in trailers but was almost entirely missing from the Indian version shown in theaters.
