The no-kissing rule seems to be rather off and on, from what I've seen. Domestic films that are comedies and action movies targeting families and youth audiences seem to be stricter about PDAs than more dramatic fare that usually seems to do well in the foreign market. Bride & Prejudice (counts as Indian cinema in my view, even though Chadha as a director kind of throws it over to the British side of things but let's just go with this one,) was just getting to what seemed ridiculously swing-and-a-miss to me by the end, but in Monsoon Wedding more than one couple was all over each other, including the bride-to-be smecksing up her married lover in the backseat of a car three days before her wedding to someone else. Although Mira Nair seems able to sneak around the censors pretty well, considering she knew to use a fake title in order to film Kama Sutra in India, and even then it was later banned from being screened in India and Pakistan.
