Ek Tha Tiger to Naam Shabana: 16 Bollywood films banned in Pakistan
Pakistan has banned the Akshay Kumar- Tapsee Pannu starrer Naam Shabana due to terrorism related scenes in the movie. Pakistan Censor Board authorities said that the terrorism related scenes depicted in the movie were not appropriate for the Pakistani audience. But then again, by now it should not come as a surprise that Bollywood films showing Pakistan in poor light would be barred there.
Here are films that have been banned by our friendly neighbourhood country for various reasons:
Ek Tha Tiger (2012): The Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer was about Tiger (Salman) fighting against the ISI and also falling in love with the enemy- reasons enough for Pakistan to push the ban button.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012): The movie with Shah Rukh Khan as a bomb disposal expert in Kashmir ran into trouble in Pakistan, but finally the movie managed to get a red carpet premiere in Karachi.
