Billie Eilish Tour Film Faces CBFC Cuts in India
8 May
Summary
- India release of Billie Eilish concert film pushed due to censor issues.
- CBFC requested multiple changes, leading to a potential May 15 release.
- Film features concert visuals, 3D, and IMAX formats.
The India release of Billie Eilish's concert film, 'Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour,' has been delayed due to suggested cuts from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The CBFC's Examining Committee requested several changes, prompting the local Paramount Pictures team to consult their US head office for approval.
This consultation and subsequent approval process for the suggested modifications led to a delay in the film's certification. Consequently, the release date was pushed, with the makers now targeting May 15 for the film's debut in India. The film offers an innovative concert experience captured during Eilish's sold-out world tour.
'Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour' has received a 'Parental Guidance' certification in several countries, including Canada, Australia, the UK (12A), and the US (PG-13). The film contains mature themes, including depictions of abuses, moderate sex references, and discussions on bullying and mental health.
Adding to its unique presentation, the concert film will be released in both 3D and IMAX formats, bringing a rare cinematic experience to fans. Billie Eilish herself is credited as one of the film's directors.
