Robert Pattinson's Primetime Receives 'A' Certificate in India After CBFC Cuts
Robert Pattinson's psychological crime thriller Primetime was released in India on September 25, 2026, after receiving an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The board required a seven-second cut involving frontal nudity, muted two instances of obscene language, blurred an alcohol brand, and mandated a static anti-alcohol warning and a 10-second viewer discretion disclaimer. The filmmakers also added voluntary content, resulting in a certified runtime of approximately 110 minutes. The film explores journalist Chris Hansen's work on To Catch a Predator.
