The movie ‘Challengers’ includes steamy sex scenes involving the three main characters, which has led fans in India to speculate about its fate with the local Censor Board. Given the conservative nature of the board, often referred to humorously as 'sanskari', viewers are curious whether this particular sex scene was allowed to remain in the film or if it was cut out before its release in Indian theaters. 

A major point of discussion regarding the film has been a provocative threesome scene that, to the surprise of many, was included in the version of the movie released in India.

Notably, these blurred scenes were not related to any explicit content. This decision has sparked curiosity about the criteria used by the censor board to determine what is acceptable for audiences and what is not.
