Among the most bitter criticisms that Pahlaj Nihalani faced during his tenure as CBFC chief was for censoring a kissing scene in the Hollywood film, Spectre (2015). "A kissing scene in Tom Cruise's American Made has been curtailed by 50 per cent by the CBFC. Why is no one objecting to this now," Nihalani chides, pointing out to the decision taken under the watch of new chief Prasoon Joshi.
