Pay attention 007: In India, you can kill - but don't kiss

By Shilpa Jamkhandikar MUMBAI (Reuters) - If the Indian censors have their way, James Bond can make liberal use of his licence to kill. The latest installment of the 007 franchise, "Spectre", will be released on Friday with heavy cuts after censors deemed the romantic encounters between Daniel Craig, and co-stars Monica Belluci and Lea Seydoux, inappropriate for the viewing public. "The studio either had the choice to accept the cuts or apply for an A certificate, which significantly cuts down reach and exhibition." The Censor Board is controlled by India's nationalist government and has turned a disapproving eye on films with steamy sex scenes.
