CBFC Gets DUNKED ON—And Mohak Mangal Just EXPLODED on This Censorship Farce!
YouTube creator Mohak Mangal just called out India’s censorship board—and oh, the shade is delicious. With razor-sharp wit, he took aim at the CBFC’s latest overreaches: chopping Superman’s 33-second kiss, forcing Janaki vs State of Kerala to rename its lead, and slashing Punjab ’95 with 127 cuts. And he did it all in one fiery video that’s burning up timelines.
“They cut Superman’s kiss but allowed Housefull jokes about rape to stay?” Mohak fumed. “Art isn’t spoiled—insecure minds are!”
- Superman’s Kiss: A juicy 33-second lip-lock was axed by the CBFC for being "too sensual." Meanwhile, violent and misogynistic scenes slip through—hypocrisy much?
The Times of India - ‘Janaki’ Gets Muzzled: Malayalam courtroom drama Janaki vs State of Kerala had to rename its film and character—because Janaki is another name for Goddess Sita.
Wikipedia - Punjab ’95 Cuts Overload: Director Honey Trehan got hit with 127 censor demands—for a film about militants and police killings. Only two were legally valid, but the delay cost him time and art.

Mohak Mangal isn't just ranting—he’s unpacking the CBFC’s hypocrisy in broad daylight. While a harmless kiss is deemed too hot, cheap crass jokes sail through. And the right to name a character Janaki? Not so much.
Fan Reactions Are Glorious
“Mohak hit harder than Superman’s punch.”
“Finally someone called out the censorship game for what it is.”
Will the CBFC rethink—or double down? Mohak may well draft a sequel. Maybe a superhero: “Mangal-Man: Defender of Censorship?”, who knows—but the spark is lit, and the debate? Just getting started.
