The independent horror film Obsession has become the talk of the town following its surprising box-office success. Made on a modest budget of approximately Rs 7 crore (under 1 million dollars), the film has already emerged as one of the most profitable releases of 2026. According to reports, it has earned nearly 100 million dollars worldwide within days of its release. However, in India, the film is making headlines for a different reason- censorship. Reportedly, the CBFC ordered cuts to key scenes before its release.

Obsession faces censorship in India

Curry Barker’s supernatural horror film was released in India on May 29 amid strong buzz. Despite receiving an A (Adults Only) certification, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) reportedly mandated the removal of 38 seconds of footage for its Indian release.
