While it took 11 years for Ryan Reynolds to bring his foul-mouthed Marvel superhero to the big screen, the Indian Censor Board is not impressed.
The movie which has been banned in China for its exorbitant gut and sex has got 7 cuts by the Indian Censor Board. It has also been given an 'A' certificate.
Here's the document that shows the cuts the Censor Board made in the movie which is currently doing rounds on social media.
Muted the words ‘asshole’, ‘mother fucker’, ‘balls’, ‘blowjob’, ‘touching myself’, ‘24 ball gags’, ‘vagina’, ‘bitch’, ‘dick’, ‘suck the cock’, ‘testicles’, ‘dildo’ wherever it occurs.
In visuals of car chase fighting: Deleted the visuals of bullet hitting three people and splitting of their head (Replaced with visuals of man).
In the visual of violent love making scene: Delete all nudity, jerking of bodies, double meaning dialogues (Replaced with man and woman).
The document briefing the cuts from Censor Board. Photo: TwitterDeleted the visuals of hand cutting and gushing of blood (Replaced with visuals of man).
Deleted the visuals of lady in poster touching her private part (Replaced with visuals of man and woman).
Deleted the visuals of bare bodies in the strip tease club (Replaces with visuals of man and woman).
In climax fighting: Deleted the visuals of blood shots and all the gory shot (Replaced with visuals of man and woman).
And soon afterwards, it did not take much time for Twitteraattis to pour their thoughts on the Indian censorship. Check out few tweets:
@PMOIndia @narendramodi Please inform this to the Censor board. Cutting scenes in #Deadpool like they are tailors cutting cloth.

What is the point of censoring a movie which is already A-rated? Idiots. Indian Censor board is getting annoying day by day. #Deadpool
