Oscar-nominated crime thriller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will not be shown in India after director David Fincher refused to cut scenes depicting rape and sexual intercourse.
India's Central Board of Film Certification had insisted five scenes be excised, including two in which actors Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara make love and another in which Mara's character Lisbeth Salander is raped by her legal guardian, the Wrap reports. Fincher refused to make changes to his film, and Sony Pictures abandoned plans for a 10 February release.

"Sony Pictures will not be releasing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in India," read a statement from the company's Mumbai office. "The censor board has judged the film unsuitable for public viewing in its unaltered form and, while we are committed to maintaining and protecting the vision of the director, we will, as always, respect the guidelines set by the board."

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the second adaptation of the first book in Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy, has not been an enormous box-office hit but picked up five Oscar nominations last week and is well on its way to a $200m global haul against a budget of $90m. Despite predictions to the contrary, production on the sequel, The Girl Who Played with Fire, is reportedly under way, with Mara and Craig set to return.

No offense, but I do often watch HBO India, and they censor many scenes from the movies. This is really lame.

The film is not Chinese

I saw the original Swedish version and the story is one of the most boring and amateurish I have seen in a long time. It seriously feels like it's written by a high school freshman, the way it piles up cliche after cliche onto the villain in a desperate attempt that something will stick. Also the ending is RIDICULOUSLY amateurish.

Maybe the Hollywood version is better but, if they stick to the original story, it's waaaay too much hype for a totally crap movie.

May be..but superkaif is not that kind...

I too saw the swedesh version..it was really boring for me..but i think hollywood version is comparatively doing better at the box office...

there is nothing wrong in proposing the cuts..you just need to obey the rule of the land..we can not show explicit content just like it is shown else where in the world..
